5 Skincare Products Worth Trying
I've been asked why I don't talk a lot about skincare on the blog, and the answer is simple: I'm not a skincare junkie, and I like what I like.
Of course, I'm always open to trying something new, but ultimately, new skincare products and crazes are something I've always treaded lightly around because, well - it's my skin.
Call me crazy, but I've never even had a facial! I love the idea behind cleaning out my skin and giving it a refresh but to be honest, all of the products - masks, peels, toners - sound like overkill (on the contrary, I know several people who swear by once-a-month facials, and I'm all for it if it's something you love!)
I have my core products that I've been using for years, and some newer ones that have made their way into my skincare routine through recommendations + reviews. Today, I'm sharing 5 skincare products worth trying that have become staples in my beauty routine.

No1: Good Genes by Sunday Riley
Notoriously one of the highest-reviewed lactic acid treatments out there, I added Good Genes to my skincare regimen this past Spring after a glowing recommendation from a friend. I hadn't quite found that one product yet that tackled both moisturizing (without excess oil) and fine lines, and figured I'd give it a try because she absolutely swore by it.
Before using this product I had no idea what lactic acid was and to be honest, a little skeptical about the "acid" part. I learned that in short, lactic acid stimulates cell turnover on the surface of the skin...aka, it exfoliates dull, pore-clogging dead skin cells, revealing smoother, fresher, younger-looking skin.
The first time I put it on, I was hooked before it even had a chance to do its job. My skin felt immediately supple and hydrated, without feeling oily. After continued use for about a week and a half to two weeks, I saw a noticeable difference in the fine lines on my forehead (which are the bane of my existence). After a few months now, my skin feels and looks noticeably brighter, more even and smoother. It's not cheap by any means ($105 for 1 oz.), but you can take advantage of SephoraVIB sales and promo and buy it that way. Seriously give this one a 10/10 guys!
