If I had a dime for every time someone asked me “what do you use on your skin”? I would be one rich chick. Truth is, after spending 12 years as a Medical Esthetician I’m a beauty junkie. Treasure Hunter for the great unknown. Unknown skin care that will change my life forever and ever amen. That product hasn’t been found yet, but let me tell you, these 3 right here. OMG. They are definitely ones that have totally changed my skin for the better. I’m all about using and sharing with you all the best anti aging products I can find and I just had to share these. Let me break down why I love each of these new beauty favs.
Vinoperfect Glycolic Brightening Essence: Powered by glycolic acid (ideal for resurfacing skins tone and texture), this product not only smooths out rough skin but it gives my skin a fresh feeling and light glow. It’s unique because many products designed to resurface skin are in serum forms as with this one it has a more aqueous texture. Used with a cotton pad, this helps to strip away dead skin cells and it’s gentle enough to be used on all skin types twice a day. It does contain an AHA (glycolic acid) so it MAY increase your sensitivity to the sun so be sure to use sunscreen (which hellloooo you should all ready be doing)
Key ingredients in this product:
-Glycolic Acid: Exfoliates dead skin cells.
-Organic Grape Water: Soothes and moisturizes.
-White Peony Extracts: Enhance luminosity and radiance.
Prism Exfoliating Glow Potion: The moment I saw this product I knew I had to have it. 5% exfoliating fruit acid in a daily use product is like whoa! All the heart eyes for this one. Part essence (liquid) part serum (a more syrupy consistently) it’s a hybrid beauty product made in heaven. It not only has glycolic acid in it, but it also has Vitamin C and Malic Acid (this helps with skin texture, refining pore size and helps with collagen production) This is not just a product for improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but it is overall beneficial for restoring skin vitality suppleness and elasticity. I prefer use products with so many active ingredients at night when my skin is at rest and less susceptible to pollutants during the day. When you use at night, put it on before a moisturizer. If you use during the day, please use sunscreen.
Key ingredients in this product:
-Natural Fruit Acid 5% Blend: Apple (Malic), Bilberry (Lactic), Sugarcane (Glycolic), Orange (Citric) to gently exfoliate skin leaving it soft, smooth and glowing.
-Kakadu Plum: Extremely rich in vitamin C to brighten appearance of skin and fight signs of premature aging.
-Willow Bark: Natural beta hydroxy acid to fight blemishes and soothe skin.
-Trio of Natural Hydrators (Aloe Water, Rose Water, and Vegan Sodium Hyaluronate): Hydrate and soothe skin.
Byron 2-in-1 Mask + Scrub: Um yeah, this right here. AMAZING! Really, do I have to say anything about a product that is 2 in 1. Yeah genius. It’s a lightweight product that performs double duty as a scrub with tiny little sustainable jojoba beads and with clay to help purify the skin. I’ve loved using it on Sunday nights to give my skin a feeling of just having a facial. I put it on do something for 10 mins (usually at my desk) then wash it off. Dead skin cells gone means helping my other products penetrate deeper so they work better. It has a lovey light peppermint scent and it’s really easy to use and good for all skin types.
Key ingredients in this product:
-Sustainable Jojoba Beads: Provide a deep cleansing, purifying, and non-abrasive scrub.
-Grapefruit and Peppermint: Clean pores, reduce redness, and visibly tighten the skin.
-Kaolin: Clears away excess dirt and pollutants, regenerating skin during the cleansing process.
-White Tea Extract: Help to visibly reduce wrinkles, eliminate sun damage, and replenish firmness.
All of these I highly recommend that you add into your beauty routine. You will only have healthy skin to how for it.

Hi Julie, sorry just seeing this. I would use them on alternating days
