Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate....Your Skin
I know I am always preaching about how you need to drink your water. I am literally that basic girl who no matter what you say your ailment is, I will ask how much water you’ve had to drink. And yes, drink your water is great for your skin. And I’ll be honest with you, if you aren’t drinking your water, layering on your products STILL won’t cut it! So, for all you healthy people who are sipping your H2O all throughout the day, here are some affordable, everyday products that you can grab at Target, Ulta, Walmart, the usual go-to places that will add and boost of hydration into your skin care routine!
If you haven’t caught on, the way a company views their brand and how they implement it both behind the scenes and publicly is super important to me. That’s why I am gonna throw all this info in here even though technically I don’t have to. Over the last year, Derma E has slowly snuck it’s way into my skincare for pretty much every day of the week, no matter what time of the day. Morning, night, masks, peels, you name it, they’ve got it at an affordable, accessible price. All of their products are Vegan, Cruelty Free, Gluten Free, GMO free, and manufactures using wind power to help reduce their environmental footprint! All of their packaging is recyclable and (having just got back from Hawaii and seen first hand the dying reefs) their sunscreens are reef safe too! All in all, it’s proven clean beauty.
Ok, ok, ok… now on to what I am actually supposed to be talking about.
If you are new to skincare, this is the perfect “I don’t know really know what my skin needs but I know I’m supposed to moisturize” cream. It is lightweight but still has a bit of hyaluronic acid and green tea in it for that added glow. It works great under makeup so you can really just throw it on and go.
ULTRA HYDRATING ALKALINE GEL BOOSTER
Ok so say you are like me. You take care of your skin, you drink your water, do your face mask, put on your moisturizer, and you STILL get disrespected by your face with awful dry patches…this baby is for you. On days when I need it most, I just add a drop or two into whatever moisturizer I am using that day, and it works like a dream. I have purposely used it with other brands to make sure it works and doesn’t do anything funky and yes, it works perfectly. It also adds an added bit of hyaluronic acid and alkaline water.
VITAMIN C BRIGHT EYES HYDRO GEL PATCHES
Under eye patches are some of my favorite quick face masks to do. The bummer is that you usually only get one set at a time. These you actually get a whole bunch at once to cut down on packaging AND they give you a little spoon to help you get them out (but not gonna lie, I use it to scoop out the extra serum because I am NOT gonna let all that juice go to waste!)
Honestly though, I can’t get over how many brands are becoming more and more transparent about how they do business, what they are putting in their products, and how their products are made. I have always said, I am willing to spend money if I know where it is going and that it is going to be worth it! Derma E is one of those brands that definitely is.
