3 New Skincare Products I’m Loving Right Now

I’ve never been someone to have flawless, beautiful skin. I’ve definitely had my fair share of acne, and I’ve tried lots of different products over the last few years especially. I noticed that after having a baby, my skin texture seemed to change a little bit. I’m not positive if it was that (likely due to hormones) or if it’s just a natural aging process, but my skin started to look a little dull, felt dry and was a little red and patchy in some spots. I was also still struggling with large pores, blackheads and the occasional breakout. 

A few weeks ago, I finally pulled the trigger on a popular skincare brand I have seen all over social media for a few years now. They had a sale, and I thought, “You know what, why not? At this point it can’t hurt anything!” I purchased three of the best-sellers and have already seen quite a difference.

I wish I had a better before picture, but this is the best one I could find. Here’s a few months ago without any make-up versus this afternoon (also without make-up and in natural sunlight). I can see and feel a difference in skin texture, notice fewer breakouts, my skin looks more hydrated and is less patchy and red. I would say that the #1 difference I notice though, is that my skin just looks more vibrant and brighter (something I really wanted and could never seem to achieve).

I’ll definitely stick with it and see what other changes I notice, but so far, so good! I felt like I’ve seen enough of a difference that I could share and recommend these products already.

What I’m using now:

I went with just the basic items that I thought would give me the biggest bang for my buck and least chance of irritation (in the event that my skin didn’t seem to like it). I have not noticed any irritation or a purging phase (this can sometimes happen when you start using new products and is normal, but I did not experience that with these). Even just after about 5 days, I started to see and feel a significant improvement in the hydration and appearance of my skin. 

These items are by no means cheap though, so do your own research and determine what’s worth it for you! I would repurchase these again, but if I had to pick just one item, I think I would go with the Liquid Gold- it’s just so hydrating and I feel like it’s given me a glow that I didn’t have before. You can also take a skin quiz on their website, and this is how I was recommended these specific products for my skin type.

Liquid Gold Vitamin C Serum

2. Liquid Gold
3. Tinted SPF
