My Top 12 Favorite Skincare Products of 2013

I thought I'd squeeze this post in before 2013 slipped by me - seriously, where did the time go?! Tomorrow is already Christmas Eve and as per usual, I'm doing the last minute mad scramble to get everyone's gifts made/bought, wrapped/bagged, etc. One of these years, I won't wait until the last minute!

But anyway...this year has been such an amazing one as far as all of the wonderful products I've tried goes, and I wanted to make a compilation of some of the ones I liked best (I'll try and do one of my favorite make up products before the new year rings in!). This was really difficult since I have so many favorites, but I chose the ones that I use(d) the most and noticed the greatest difference in my skin.


My Top 12 Favorite Skincare Products of 2013

1) Elaa Skincare Cleansing Fairy Dust - The best cleansing grains that I have tried thus far, as well as the most versatile. See my review here!

2) Osmia Spot Treatment - Give stubborn blemishes the boot with this super healing and potent spot treatment. There is a reason why this product is so popular - it works!

3) Eminence Eight Greens Youth Serum & Moisturizer - Two anti-aging powerhouses! These are two of my skin's best friends! See full review here.

4) Elaa Skincare Gingko Hibiscus Pomegranate Skin Lifting Mist - The name says it all! This lovely face mist is a treat to the skin as well as the senses. See review here.

5) Suntegrity Face Sunscreen and Primer - I always wear sunscreen, no matter the weather or if I am in or outdoors. It's been really challenging to find one that works well with my skin, but this one does. And I love that it is a moisturizer, sunscreen and primer all in one!

6) Sequoia Beauty Sun Damage Repair Serum - I love everything about this serum! I love everything about this brand! You can read just how much here!

7) Sequoia Beauty Honey Berry Enzyme Mask - I love to use this beautiful product as both a cleanser and a mask. It makes my skin so soft and helps to heal any break outs I may have. See review here.

8) BFree Organics Daily Moisturizer with SPF20 - Even though this has an spf, I love to use this as my nightly moisturizer and I wake up to super smooth and hydrated skin! Love! See review here!

9) May Lindstrom Youth Dew - I was so lucky to have won this beauty in a contest and I am over the moon happy that I did! I have been using this as my nightly serum/moisturizer and my skin is just in heaven. With ingredients like Avocado, Tamanu, Sea Buckthorn and Rose Hips oils, what's not to love!

10) Annmarie Gianni Skincare Anti-aging Facial Oil - Honestly, I love all of Annmarie Gianni's products, but I picked this gorgeous oil for a few reasons - the ingredients (hibiscus, broccoli seed oil, pumpkin seed oil, acai berry oil, to name a few), the scent (ahhhh..sandalwood!), and how my skin looked and felt when I used it.

11) Vapour Organic Beauty Stratus Instant Skin Perfector - I don't think I could ever live without this product! Hands down the best primer I have found to date! I like to use this over my serums/moisturizers, but it can be used on bare skin as well.

12) SkinNutritious Plant Based Oil Cleanser - This water soluble cleanser is great for those of us who love to use oils to cleanse our skin, but prefer to have them rinse completely off. This removes every trace of my make up, rinses off clean and leaves my skin super soft.



That's it for my favorite skincare products as of right this moment (I have several brands I will be testing soon, so the list will grow, I'm sure!). I will add that I honestly love everything I've tried from Elaa (new review will be coming soon!), Annmarie Gianni, Bfree Organics, Vapour Organic and Sequoia Beauty..but this list would have been waaaay too long! LOL

What are your favorite products from 2013? 

Peace & Love,
