I turn 30 this year. There, I said it out loud.
With this new year and new decade, I think it’s time to really step my skincare game. I’ve been implementing some new additions to spruce up my routine and wanted to share what I found WORKS so far! Here are my top 20 skincare products for both the face and body (yes, your body needs some skincare love too) along with a few tools that I will be using in 2020.
For The Face
Isle Of Paradise Drops – This is my new current favorite product! I add a few drops in with my moisturizer at night and wake up with an evenly tanned face and neck. It makes me feel more confident without makeup on.
Laneige Toner – A two-in-one formula that preps and softens like a toner and moisturizes like a cream for maximum hydration benefits in one simple step. I’m all about the hydration for my dry skin so I really love anything that helps with that!
Pixi Glow Tonic – This is my favorite drugstore toner! It exfoliates, brightens and smoothes skin. Plus, it’s available at Target!
Laneige Lip Mask – A leave-on lip mask that soothes and moisturizes for smoother, more supple lips overnight. Best lip balm you will ever use and worth every cent!
Dr. Brandt No More Baggage – This is the best I have tried for quickly getting rid of under eye bags. You can see them disappear! Tip: I’ve seen this go on sale multiple times on their website, so keep checking before you buy!
Peter Thomas Roth Retinol – I’ve been using this retinol for a few months and one of my favorite things about it is that it has some moisturizing ingredients to help combat the typical drying effect of most retinol serums.
Sunday Riley Luna – I just started using this and loving it so far! It is another retinol that I apply at night to help reduce the appearance of pores, wrinkles, and fine lines. It also helps to even skin tone.
Vitamin C Serum – This is actually one that I prefer to make myself at home! It’s so easy and in my opinion even better. It helps to brighten your skin and fade hyperpigmentation. Get my recipe here.
It Cosmetics CC Cream – You girls know I love a 2-in-1 product! This is my “just running to the beach or Target” go-to everyday foundation. It’s a full coverage cream with SPF 50+ and it contains skincare ingredients like collagen and hyaluronic acid. They have a ton of new shades and also come in mini sizes so you can try it out!
Tools
Microdermabrasion Roller – I am so intrigued by this, I mean look at those reviews! I just ordered one and will update you with my thoughts.
Clarisonic – I’ve been using this for over a year now and still love it! It’s amazing how much impurities it removes even after you have washed your face normally. You can change out the brush heads and I’ve also used it in the past for applying makeup. You can read my full review here.
Tinkle Face Razors – Anyone else shave their face? No, just me? Ha! I’m serious though, I use these little razors to occasionally do an at-home skin exfoliating treatment and remove the dead skin (similar to dermaplaning). Also, removing the peach fuzz helps my makeup go on smoother!
For The Body
Your body’s skin care is just as important as your face! Almost everything I use on my face I rub down my neck and onto my chest. Here are a few other products that I use to help nourish the skin on my body.
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream – A fast-absorbing body cream that helps tighten and smooth the look of skin. It smells so good and gives you a hint of glow. I go through jars of this like crazy!
Kopari Deodorant – Remember that everything you put on your body soaks into your body. I made the switch to natural deodorant and I love the coconut smell of this one! I’ve been using it for over a year now and you can read my tips on switching to a natural deodorant here.
Native Deodorant – Jeff is a big fan of this brand and was the first to buy it. I have actually started to reach for this one more lately and love the coconut and vanilla scent. It’s free of Aluminum, Parabens & Sulfates!
Kheils Moisturizer & Sunscreen – I use this every. single. morning. It’s light, hydrating, has sunscreen in it, and doesn’t break me out. I’m including it in the body section because I rub it all the way down my neck and onto my chest for the most protection.
Bondi Sands Self Tanner – Not exactly skincare, but using a self tanning oil hopefully persuades you to stay out of the sun which is therefore helping your skin.. so yeah, it’s a skin-favoring product 😉 This one is my favorite and I have an in-depth post on my sunless tanning routine here.
I’ve also been trying a ton of Tula products! I’ve seen them all over Instagram with other bloggers raving about them and had to see what the hype was about. They have not disappointed! I love that they are made with clean and high quality ingredients that are effective. The last three products in my top 20 skincare products for 2020 have to be my top three favorites: The Rose Glow Eye Balm, The Face Filter Primer, and The Overnight Repair Treatment. The eye balm also doubles as a highlighter for your cheekbones, it’s stunning! You can use code KRISTYK15 at checkout for 15% off their entire site!
