I love skincare. When skin looks great, you need less makeup and also keeps you looking youthful (who doesn’t love that). When it comes to skincare, I don’t spend a ton on face wash but I splurge on anti aging products like serums and eye creams. I’m all about preservation -no shame in my game! I like the high powered stuff that gives results.
Lauryn Evarts-Bosstick of The Skinny Confidential is a skincare guru and always recommends applying skincare on the face, neck and chest (she says “take it to the tits” -HA!)! This method of application is also known as “The French Face”. It makes sense to take the most care of the face, neck and chest because it’s the most visible on a daily basis -and the most exposed area of skin (hands too).
Anyway, here are a few potions and lotions that I am really loving.
Vitabrid C12 Dual Drop Serum
I’ve been using this on my face, neck, and chest and have noticed fewer sun spots on my chest since I added it to my skincare routine. It absorbs really quickly too which I love. Here is the product description from the Barney’s website:
Vitabrid C¹²’s Dual Drop Serum delivers a powerful proprietary blend of Vitabrid CG and peptides to help reduce signs of aging, brighten the skin, and provide deep hydration. The skin is left looking more youthful with a radiant, healthy glow.
*Vitabrid CG (active and stable vitamin C): removes dead skin cells, brightens the skin, improves elasticity, and helps to improve skin condition.
*Peptibrid ®: provides skin regeneration and heals damaged skin.
*Peptide complex: promotes proliferation of fibroblasts to relieve wrinkles.
*Plant stem cell complex: helps the skin regenerate, maintain elasticity and firmness, and hold moisture.
*Glutathione and resveratrol: suppresses skin aging caused by active oxygen and promotes skin activation.
*Hyaluronic acid triple complex: delivers a high moisture content that fills dry skin from the inside out to keep it moisturized.

Clarins Plant Gold
I have always love Clarins skincare. I’ve been wearing this every other night on my face. I LOVE the way it smells (blue orchid & patchouli -in the best way possible ). I don’t really love the way oil feels on my face but this is a perfect “gateway” oil for me. It’s an emulsion -two chamber pump on side with a lotion and the other with an oil making it super easy and comfy to wear. It sinks into the skin rather than sitting on top of it. Here’s an excerpt from Clarins.com
- Leaves skin hydrated, nourished, and radiant
- Formulated with ingredients that are of 100% natural origin
- Aromatic essential oils and plant extracts uplift the senses
- Silky, non-greasy texture
- Free of synthetic fragrance, chemical preservative, and coloring agents
Perricone Growth Factor
This serum can be used night and day. It works very well under makeup because my skin completely drinks this product up in seconds. I have been using this for about two weeks and my complexion is more even and plump. Of 199 reviews on Sephora, 90% said they’d recommend. Here’s what one of the reviews said:
I have been using this daily for the past couple of weeks. I can’t believe the results that I’m having. It has minimized my under eye wrinkles along with my crows feet. I also have been losing weight so I have lines in my neck and it has softened the look of those also. Once I run out of this I’m definitely buying another bottle.

Sunday Riley Luna
First of all, let me say this product is beautiful. It’s a deep turquoise liquid encased in a glass and gold toned dropper. It’s just fun to look at. Magical if you will.
I love an oil for night. I feel like a product that works while I sleep is the best! Do I want to wake up with better skin? Um, yes. Yes I do. Sunday Riley has a cult following because their products work. Here is the product description from their website:
Luna works throughout the night to deliver visibly youthful, luminous, even-toned skin in the morning. Trans-retinoic acid ester complex reduces the appearance of pores and wrinkles, while visibly improving the signs of premature aging: fine lines, uneven texture, age spots, dryness, and dullness. Balanced with blue tansy and German chamomile essential oils, both rich in soothing, blue azulene, visible redness and the signs of sensitivity are neutralized, for a calm, even-toned complexion.
