A skincare routine is ideally something you do every day, which means it’s basically as mundane as brushing your teeth. It’s easy to fall into a rut of using the same products day after day and month after month, to the point where those 10 minutes you take at the end or start of each day start to feel tiresome and forced instead of relaxing and indulgent.
Shake up your current skincare routine and elevate the experience with a few of these game-changing skincare products. Beyond the obvious benefits to your skin, these products will also inject a little bit of luxury into your everyday life.

1. Bioderma Sensibio H2O Biodegradable Facial Cleansing and Makeup Remover Wipes

These aren’t your average drugstore makeup wipes. Specifically designed for sensitive skin, these makeup wipes remove waterproof mascara and full-coverage foundation with just a few swipes and leave the rest of your skin in peace, instead of raw and red like other wipes.

2. La Roche-Posay Micellar Cleansing Water for Sensitive Skin

If you’re a contact lens wearer, you know the struggle of trying to find a cleanser that doesn’t irritate your eyes. Made with some of the same ingredients that are in contact solution, micellar cleansing water is super gentle yet effective in removing dirt, oil, makeup, and even pollution from the skin.

6. First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser

Cleansing is probably the least extravagant part of your skincare routine, which is why you need this product on your top shelf.

As one of the first steps in your skincare routine, this cleanser sets the stage for other treatment products and leaves skin soft, supple, and bright.

7. Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist

Nothing makes you feel quite as pampered as a facial mist.

Your skin will drink this stuff up.

9. DERMA E Radiance Toner With Glycolic Acid and Rosehip Extract

Infused with glycolic acid and rosehip extract, this alcohol-free toner hydrates and treats the skin after cleansing. Similar to a makeup primer, this toner preps your pores for the rest of your skincare routine by essentially wiping the slate clean. This fast-penetrating liquid exfoliates and deep cleans pores while also nourishing the skin, leaving it plump and glowy.

10. Clarins Toning Lotion With Chamomile

Like a warm cup of tea, this toning lotion with chamomile is the perfect bedtime lullaby to gently sing your skin to sleep. It’s alcohol-free, and with purifying chamomile and linden extracts, this product soothes irritated skin and leaves normal-to-dry skin types perfectly refreshed and soft to the touch.

11. Yu-Be Foaming Skin Polish

Physical exfoliators that don’t feel like sandpaper against your skin are hard to come by, which is what makes this next product so special. Rice bran and bamboo combine with green tea, geranium oil, and camphor to create a luxuriously foaming scrub that feels rich and soft.

12. Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment

Extravagant prices on skincare aren’t always an indicator for truly effective products, but in this case, the product is worth every penny. This all-in-one lactic acid treatment does it all and more. It exfoliates, brightens, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, and hyperpigmentation. If you have any skincare-related problem at all, this product will help, but it’s going to cost you.

13. CANE + AUSTIN Retexture Pad

Nothing is more relaxing and luxurious than a really good facial. When you can’t make it to the spa, have an at-home spa day with these treatment pads. These facial peels storm your skin with the power of a 20 percent glycolic acid clinical treatment to exfoliate, renew your skin’s texture, and enhance skin luminosity to reveal brighter, healthy-looking skin, while also helping to rebuild collagen.

14. Vichy Minéral 89 Daily Skin Booster Serum and Moisturizer

This serum is a real superhero of skincare. It fights and protects your skin from internal and external aggressors such as cold weather, pollution, stress, and fatigue, which can make your skin appear dull and dehydrated.

15. Cellex-C Advanced-C Serum

Vitamin C isn’t just important for your immune system. When added to your daily routine, vitamin C can help even out skin tone, protect skin from the harmful effects of pollution, and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also firming the skin.

16. Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S. Thirst-Quenching Serum

Unless you are one of the rare people who actually drinks more than the recommended eight glasses of water per day, your skin is probably thirsty and calling out for some relief. This serum delivers a shot of hydration straight to the source. It helps re-activate skin’s hydration mechanisms and replenish its water reserves, so your skin is prepared the next time you go too long without water.

17. ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Super Serum Elixir

Collagen is a major skincare buzzword right now, and for good reason. It’s the skin’s building block that provides strength and structure to the cells in your body. As you age, your body naturally stops producing collagen, which is why you see it in so many skincare products touting anti-aging benefits.

18. Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer

When it comes to skincare, fruit stem cells are the future. This moisturizer contains a proprietary blend of fruit stem cells and vitamin C to reduce wrinkles, improve hydration, and boost radiance.

19. skyn ICELAND Pure Cloud Cream

Light as air and smooth as silk, this moisturizer packs quite a punch for being so soft. By using a combination of aloe, almond oil, and oat extract to soothe irritation and inflammation, this product works overtime to hydrate, soothe, pamper, and protect severely dry, sensitive skin.

20. Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream

Water cream just sounds mega-hydrating, doesn’t it? It’s no surprise that this moisturizer delivers luxurious hydration with the help of one major skin-saving ingredient: hyaluronic acid. Famous for its capacity to hold vast amounts of water, thus replenishing skin and helping it appear more plump and supple, hyaluronic acid isn’t the only star of this show.

21. L’Occitane Luxurious Divine Star

Made with seven plant-derived active ingredients, this moisturizer heals from the inside out and leaves a fantastic glow to the skin.

22. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Skin Protectant Cream

A longtime favorite of makeup artists, this legendary moisturizer has achieved cult status among the fashion and beauty elite since its creation more than 80 years ago in 1930. This product is like the Swiss army knife of the beauty world. It calms, protects, and hydrates skin for up to eight hours and can be used on nails, lips, eyebrows, and more.

23. ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream

Seaweed in skincare might sound fishy, but it works. This powerful anti-wrinkle day cream features a unique Mediterranean algae, padina pavonica, blended with ginkgo biloba, chlorella, and rose to deliver near-oceanic levels of moisture that dive deep into the skin while also visibly improving the appearance of fine lines.

24. StriVectin-TL Tightening Neck Cream

Skincare shouldn’t just stop at the chin. Your neck and décolleté deserve equal attention, and with this product, the spotlight is finally on them. Specifically formulated to fight “tech neck,” which is a fun name for the horizontal lines and sagging lines you get from repeatedly staring down at a phone or keyboard, this product contains protein tighteners and a proprietary form of vitamin B3.

25. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Soothing Eye Cream

The skin around the eyes is very thin, which makes it all the more important to treat and moisturize. Formulated with shea butter and glycerin, this eye cream has a unique gel-like texture that feels cooling and soothing to the delicate eye area.

26. Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Eye Treatment

If you’re looking for an eye cream that works harder and smarter, look no further. This treatment contains a blend of certified organic, antioxidant-rich juices that work to improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines around the eyes.

27. skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels

Puffy eyes can be caused by too much fun or too little sleep the night before, but either way, they’re about the worst thing to wake up to. These cooling gel patches target the eye area with powerful firming ingredients to de-puff, tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

28. Sunday Riley U.F.O. Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil

This oil is straight up out of this world. Luxurious oil teams up with other ingredients to stop breakouts in their tracks, clarify and clear congested skin, and clean out your pores. With 1.5 percent salicylic acid, this powerful medicated oil challenges acne and blackheads to a duel and takes them down time and time again.

29. ELEMIS Superfood Facial Oil

You mom told you eat your fruit and vegetables, but I bet she never told you to put them on your face. This face oil is the cosmetic version of green juice, harnessing the power of superfoods like broccoli seed, poppy seed, cucumber, macadamia, rice bran, daikon radish, rosehip seed, flaxseed, and meadowfoam seed to feed your skin its own version of greens.

30. Supergoop! Everyday Sunscreen

Suncreens are an essential, yet often forgotten and overlooked, part of every skincare routine. This sunscreen doesn’t have any crazy superpowers, but it does have a feel-good formula that makes you want to wear it, and at the end of the day, isn’t that what’s most important?

31. AHAVA Purifying Dead Sea Mud Mask

This deep-cleansing mask contains energizing mud and minerals straight from the Dead Sea, the most mineral-rich mud on Earth. Dead Sea mud, kaolin, vitamin B, and chamomile work in perfect harmony to detoxify and hydrate your skin. This mask is as natural as the raw earth it comes from, and unlike traditional masks, it doesn’t need time to dry.

32. Herbivore Botanicals Organic Blue Tansy Resurfacing Mask

This mask is a winning combination of alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids (AHA and BHA) that gently and naturally exfoliate the skin. This product gets its name from the powerful element of blue tansy oil, which gives the oil its beautiful blue color and works to reduce redness and soothe irritated skin.

33. Sand & Sky Australian Pink Clay Face Mask

Made with Australian botanical-infused pink clay, this 4-in-1 mask detoxes, invigorates, refines, and brightens skin texture in 10 minutes or less. The clay tightens pores while also boosting radiance, leaving skin bright and soft after just one use. 

34. Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask

Congested skin is no match for this active charcoal mask. Best used after a hot shower when your pores are open, this mask annihilates problematic pores, blackheads, and breakouts. Bamboo charcoal helps remove excess oil, while white China clay absorbs toxins and lecithin dissolves impurities.

35. Forever Glow Anti Aging Face Mask

This sheet mask touts itself as the “one night stand of skincare,” but instead of leaving you sad and alone the next morning, it promises to leave your skin looking plump and amazing, and it has the receipts to back up that claim.

36. Karuna Brightening + Face Mask

Glowing skin is just 10 to 20 minutes away with this brightening face mask. Let grapefruit seed extract, rare Asian plant extracts, and salicylic acid soak into your skin while you lie back and let gravity do the work to push the powerful serum deeper into the skin for maximum effectiveness.

Dry, flaky lips need not suffer any longer. This soft balm coats your lips in a silky sleeve of vitamin C, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture and repair ultra dry, cracking lips. It’s meant to work overnight, but it’s also great in the daytime if your lips the extra attention.

39. 2 in 1 Rose Quartz Roller and Gua Sha

This cousin of the jade roller is made up of rose quartz, which is a symbol of love—and more importantly, it’s pink. It looks gorgeous displayed on a vanity, and it can also help improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. The best way to use it is to go against gravity and roll in an upward and outward motion.

40. Nurse Jamie Uplift Massaging Beauty Roller

This unique beauty roller is made with 24 massaging stones to firm and lift your skin. It’s designed by skincare expert and registered nurse Jamie Sherrill, who is famous for her collagen-boosting facials. This product is said to promote anti-aging techniques used in those very facials.

When it comes to beauty and personal care products, we’re more conscious than ever of what we put on our faces and bodies. We want to know what impact questionable ingredients have on our health, and there’s a lot we need to educate ourselves about—from parabens and aluminum to phthalates and silicone. Then there are environmental issues. And let’s not forget about animal testing!
These are all valid concerns, so HealthyWay has done the legwork to help you make informed choices when it comes to finding the best and safest products.

1. This clay mask is no longer a secret.

Women have been using clay masks since the time of Cleopatra. Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay is a naturally effective way to help draw out oil and impurities in acne-prone and oily skin. It’s made with just a single ingredient—100% natural calcium bentonite clay—that’s harvested in Death Valley, California.

2. Skip double cleansing with this genius product.

Double cleansing has become popular because the results are a completely clean face. But who has time to wash twice? That’s where Algenist Genius Ultimate Anti-Aging Melting Cleanser comes in. This product is like having two cleansers in one, making the second cleanse an unnecessary step.

3. Get fresher looking eyes naturally.

If you think a typical cream feels too heavy around the delicate eye area, Odacité Ba+S Eye Contour Serum Concentrate could be a better choice. The formula is packed with powerful natural ingredients including vitamins E, F, and A as well as plant sterols and a quartet of natural oils.

4. Skip the can and get smoother legs.

When we’re trying to shave seconds off of our shower routine, sometimes we skip the shaving cream. But that can lead to cuts, nicks, or even worse. So, it’s important that we treat ourselves to a better shave. Avalon Organics Moisturizing Shave Cream in lavender makes this really easy to do.

5. Go coconuts for this shampoo and conditioner.

If you like piña coladas, you will love this shampoo and conditioner duo. Love Beauty and Planet Volume and Bounty Shampoo and Conditioner with Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower might be tropically scented, but that doesn’t mean the ingredients are on vacation.

6. A solution for a less-than-glamorous beauty problem.

We hate to talk about it, but thigh chafing can be a serious problem for many women. This issue isn’t simply inconvenient or annoying—it can be incredibly uncomfortable, making it hard for us to exercise or even walk. Luckily, an easy and convenient solution exists. MegaBabe Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafe Stick is our she-ro!

7. Say “oui” to this classic French skincare product.

Ever wonder how French women keep their skin looking so perfect? There’s a good chance their secret is Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water. There are many micellar waters out there, but Bioderma is the original.

8. Take everything off your face with the least amount of effort.

Whether it’s a late night or just lack of time, we all have moments when we need to wash our faces but don’t want to. Fortunately, the solution to the problem is simple: Simple Kind to Skin Facial Wipes.

9. Bring the spa home with this scrub.

Who doesn’t love a deeply exfoliating body scrub? It feels just like a trip to a fancy spa. But the easier, less expensive option is using Tree Hut Coconut Lime Shea Sugar Scrub. Quite simply, this product smells like paradise.

10. This appealing product can change your skin.

Exfoliating and removing skin cells is vital to the health of your skin. Many of us get chemical peels or deep exfoliation treatments. But that can be irritating and costly. MyChelle Pumpkin Enzyme Peel is nature’s gentler version of a chemical peel.

11. This oil is nature’s secret to better brows and lashes.

Thick brows and long lashes aren’t simply a trend. Both looks are here to stay. But that doesn’t mean using dangerous chemicals near your eyes or getting painful and pricey microblading is necessary.

12. This product is so Coola.

The number one way to prevent the signs of aging is to use sunscreen every single day. But most sunscreens can feel too greasy under a face of makeup, which is why so many of us end up skipping it.

13. This is the one product you must never forget to put on.

For those of us with a fair complexion or skin that is really sensitive to the sun, a daily sunscreen with a high SPF is a must. But that can be a nuisance when it doesn’t feel good on the skin. With Supergoop! Everyday Sunscreen with Cellular Response Technology SPF 50, that’s simply not a problem.

14. Give your face a refreshing drink.

We all have those hot, sweaty, or busy days when we just need to take a moment (even a brief one) for ourselves and cool down. That’s why Coco Ensoleille Face Aperitif Facial Mist in Orange Blossom feels like a dream.

15. Note this BB cream.

Not all occasions call for a full-on face of foundation. That’s why NOTE Cosmetics BB Cream can make an excellent alternative to using regular makeup. This paraben-free SPF 15 formula is available in three different shades, and it’s packed with a variety of good-for-your-skin ingredients.

16. Help your body stay youthful with this necessity.

Sure, we’re vigilant about protecting our faces from the sun. But whether we are going out for a run or will be in direct contact with the rays at the beach or pool, we should be applying and reapplying sunscreen all day long. A wrinkle-free face won’t distract from a sun-damaged body.

17. This lotion is perfect for everyone in your home.

The skin is the body’s largest organ, and it absorbs everything we apply to it. So if we use a large amount of a particular product regularly, it’s important to choose one with safe ingredients. That’s why EveryOne Lotion with Lavender and Aloe is such a find. It is not just budget friendly, it’s also safely formulated.

18. This cleansing oil won’t leave anything behind.

The best way to remove makeup is with cleansing oil. Kopari Coconut Cleansing Oil is a natural way to remove every single trace of makeup, from layers of foundation to stubborn waterproof mascara.

19. Purify your face in luxury.

With luxurious products in distinctive bright green packaging, Tata Harper has truly made a name in clean beauty. Great for all skin types, this purifying mask helps deeply cleanse the skin while fighting the effects of aging. It can help remove buildup from environmental stressors and pollution.

20. This skin food isn’t edible.

Weleda has been making beauty products since 1926, so it seems they’re doing something right. The hero product of the line is Skin Food, which is formulated with natural ingredients your skin will eat right up.

21. Everything’s coming up roses with this body scrub.

Herbivore Botanicals makes simple products that feel extra luxurious. The Coco Rose Body Polish/Sugar Scrub is unlike any other body exfoliator out there. It has a unique texture that feels light and almost whipped.

22. C why this serum should be in your beauty routine.

We all know that vitamin C is good for our health, but not everyone is aware that it’s also useful to prevent wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. Reduction of discoloration and brightening are two more ways that vitamin C improves the look of the skin. And a serum is one of the best ways to deliver this ingredient.

23. These pads will “bee” a staple in your makeup bag.

We all make mistakes, particularly when it comes to applying eye makeup. A slight slip of the hand or a sneeze can lead to disaster. But cleaning up those messes doesn’t have to be an ordeal. That’s why keeping a jar of Burt’s Bees Eye Makeup Remover Pads is always a good idea.
 

24. You will be TOTALEE obsessed with this hair product.

TOTALEE is a new line from Beverly Hills hairstylist Lee Rittiner, who has created five products that are useful for all hair types and made without harsh chemicals like sodium laureth sulfate, parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, and artificial fragrances.

25. Say goodbye to blemishes with this super serum.

While most of us think of serums as something we use to prevent aging, they can also be used to fight acne. Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Serum will kick zits to the curb with ingredients like organic fruit acids, willow bark (which contains natural salicylic acid), CoQ10, vitamin C, aloe, and green and white tea.

26. The secret to perfect beach waves.

Why do we always come back from the beach with mermaid-like hair? The secret to that texture is sea salt. But a trip to the shore or a dip in the ocean isn’t necessary to achieve this look.

27. For better hair days, dry this.

Dry shampoo has become a staple of our beauty routines, but it can be problematic for so many reasons. Most dry shampoos contain harsh chemicals. Furthermore, the aerosol cans they’re often packaged in are not just bad for the environment; we risk inhaling a bit every time we use them.

28. Smell cleaner without the chemicals.

Most of us use deodorant every day. But the sad reality is that some popular deodorants contain ingredients that are harsh and possibly toxic or carcinogenic. While many natural deodorants are ineffective or feel sticky, milk + honey Cream Deodorant stands out from the pack.

29. Scrub your way to brighter skin.

ACURE Brightening Facial Scrub is a cure for dull skin at a great price for any budget. Every skin type needs to exfoliate, and this gentle but effective scrub has organic sea kelp and lemon peel to lift and remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells.

30. Make your lips more naturally kissable with this balm.

Of all the places on our body where using the safest products really counts, the lips are one of the most important. After all, there’s a good chance we are going to lick that balm off.

31. Don’t rinse this out of your hair.

Carol’s Daughter Monoi Repairing Leave-In Conditioner is made with ingredients that repair hair the natural way with monoi, tiare gardenia flower, and coprah coconut oils. While this formula is powerful, it can still be used every day because it doesn’t have ingredients like petroleum, mineral oil, or silicone.

32. You won’t say “oh sheet” to this mask.

Sheet masks are an easy way to treat the skin without the mess. Just use once and throw it out. Andalou Naturals Instant Brighten & Tighten Hydro Serum Facial Mask has lots of benefits packed into one tiny sheet.

33. You’ll love all of the uses for this natural staple that’s been around for years.

When we think of natural and non-toxic products, one of the first things that comes to mind for many of us is Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Soap. It’s vegan and certified 100 percent USDA organic—and the bottle is even biodegradable.

34. Smell good naturally.

Fragrances can contain lots of artificial ingredients, but that isn’t necessary. Pacifica Perfume Roll-On bottles are changing the perfume game by creating a cleaner product. 100% vegan and cruelty-free, they are formulated without parabens, phthalates and other harmful chemicals.

35. Stick to this honey cream for more youthful eyes.

Made in New Zealand, Manuka Lane Skin Firming Eye Cream does it all naturally. It helps with every under-eye need, from fine lines to dark circles and puffiness. Cruelty-free, this product contains no parabens, artificial colors, or petrocarbons.

36. This oil does everything.

Tea tree oil is naturally antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal. And there are some indications that it can help treat ailments such as acne, nail and foot fungus, lice, dandruff, itching, earaches, psoriasis, and eczema.

37. You’ve got to hand it to this cream.

Our hands are always at work. There are endless ways the skin on our hands can become dry or cracked—from cleaning them with harsh soaps to washing the dishes.

38. The results are all the proof you need to love this hair oil.

Drybar 100 Proof Treatment Oil is an absolutely game-changing product for dry, over-processed, and damaged hair. But it is really useful for all hair types for many different purposes.
