Beauty Bits

If there is one thing I get asked over and over, it’s questions about my skin. What products do I use for it? Which are the most effective? What treatments have you had? I regularly share skincare routines and product reviews but I thought I would write a blog post dedicated to the products that are responsible for having my skin look the way it does. These are products that have been instrumental in keeping my skin looking its best.

I was not a huge fan of Westman Atelier makeup a few years ago when I tried a handful of things from the brand. Everything felt a bit too emollient and dewy for my slightly combination skin at the time. Fast forwards to today and my skin type and texture have really changed and I LOVE Westman Atelier products.

A consistent skincare routine is one of the most important things when it comes to taking proper care of your skin. The skin is the largest organ in the body so it deserves dedicated attention. Even if the routine is just a cleanser and moisturizer, it’s impactful if done everyday (hopefully twice a day – morning and evening).

I’ve been sharing my monthly favorites nearly every month for the past 10+ years but only on video (IG, Tiktok, YouTube). I’ve never shared my favorites in a blog post but thought I would begin doing so in case you ever miss my monthly favorites video.

I test out a TON of skincare for this blog and have been doing so for more than 13 years. But what products do I consistently repurchase time and time again? There are quite a few actually but they have changed quite a bit over the past few years.

I never gave a second thought to my body care products years ago. My requirements were if it smelled good and the packaging was cute. As I got more into skincare over the past few years, I love how many brands have come out with body products that are meant to take care of the skin on your body with ingredients that are as effective as what you use on your face.

I have loved skincare for so long and enjoy testing out new products and launches. But even to me it can feel overwhelming because the beauty industry is beyond saturated. There are so many brands to choose from and millions of serums, moisturizers, eye creams, cleansers, etc. that all seem to do similar things.

I’ve been sharing my monthly favorites nearly every month for the past 10+ years but only on video (IG, Tiktok, YouTube). I’ve never shared my favorites in a blog post but thought I would begin doing so in case you ever miss my monthly favorites video. These are all my favorite, most worn and most enjoyed products from the month.

My skin has really shifted from combination and slightly oily in my 30’s to dry and dull in my mid 40’s. I’ve had to rethink my skincare routine and find products that help keep my skin well nourished and also give me a bit of a healthy hydrated glow.

I test a ton of beauty products on a daily basis but many of them never make it into my regular beauty rotation. But there are a handful that stand out each month so I thought it was time to do another post on New-to-Me Beauty Products I’m Loving.
