Skincare Favorites
Best Face Wash
First Aid Beauty face cleanser – I love this cleanser! It’s gentle enough to use in the morning, yet it also removes ALL my makeup. It’s fragrance free, and leaves no residue on the face. My skin feels so clean after, but not to the point where it feels stripped.
Best Exfoliant
Murad exfoliant – Usually I prefer chemical exfoliants over physical exfoliants (like scrubs), because scrubbing tends to irritate my skin and only exfoliate the top layer. While this product has jojoba beads, it’s so fine that it doesn’t bother my skin. Plus, there are three exfoliating acids to really rid dead skin. I only use this at night once every other day after cleansing.
Best Toner
First Aid Beauty toner pads – These pads are so convenient. They’re soaked in the toner, and alcohol and fragrance free. The pads have a textured side, which gives me more control in targeting my t-zone area.
Best Skin Oil
Josie Maran argan oil – My ultimate favorite is the Sunday Riley “Juno” skin oil, but that is rather pricey. This one is pure argan oil, which is nice that there’s no fillers. I layer it under moisturizer at night, especially during cold and dry wintertimes.
Best Night Cream
Murad night cream – The texture of this night cream is so luxurious! It’s creamy and thick, but just airy enough and not greasy. When I apply this, it feel like my skin is drinking in the moisture, and it keeps skin hydrated and supple all night.
Best Lip Balm
C.O. Bigelow lip balm – Let’s not forget the lips! When it comes to products, I’m big on packaging, not only for aesthetics, but mostly for utility. I don’t like dipping my fingers into products for sanitary reasons, and this applies to chapsticks as well. That being said, I like the easy and clean applicator for this lip balm, and the light mint scent is pleasant.

I LOVE First Aid Beauty, but I haven't tried either of these. It works so great for my skin though, and I'll be needing a new face wash soon. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Ohhh! I'm so disappointed that Murad is still using microbeads: 1. There are so many great alternatives and 2. A bunch of states and countries have already banned them. The other products look great though. 🙂
I totally agree about banning microbeads! However, Murad uses jojoba beads, which are natural and not plastic/harmful to the environment. 🙂
I've been looking for a great toner and I love that these are pads!

I don't like dipping into products, too, so you make me want to try C.O. Bigelow lip balm. Does it moisturize well?

Hi Seyra! Yes, it keeps the lips moisturized overnight.
Murad has such great products!
Wish I had more luck with FAB products because they really seem to work like charms for every one else. I tried the cleanser a while ago and didn't love it, maybe I should give it another go?
