The clean beauty anti-aging products that I’m most excited about right now are CounterTime! It’s one of the first alternatives to retinol that’s cleaner and still works. Retinols are extremely popular because of their collagen pumping properties and has long been heralded as “youth in a bottle”. However, there are numerous risks linked to it’s usage since it’s unregulated by the FDA. After 3 years of research, BeautyCounter finally launched it’s own version of it.
Before I continue about the clean beauty anti-aging products, let me tell you about my lip color;BeautyCounter Red! It is one of my favorite lip colors of all time, especially in the summer! It’s got the perfect tint of warm orangey red, that’s flattering on most skin tones. I get so many compliments when I wear it. People will literally just ask what it is! I know reds are not for everyone but take a chance on this one if you’re feeling adventurous.
The timing for clean beauty anti-aging products couldn’t be more perfect as I just turned 40 and was tempted by retinol! As I’ve discussed before, I’ve never dabbled in Botox or fillers because I don’t have the right mindset for it. Haha! So I’m thrilled that I’m able to fight aging with a beauty line that I know and love, and trust! I will give you the 3 month report in late October but for now, I can’t recommend it enough. You can order it here!
The entire line can be seen below. There’s cleansing oils, hydrating mists and the serum. Cleansing oils are really gentle on your skin, are super effective at getting the gunk out and hydrating. To be honest, I’m not super familiar with hydrating mists even though I have them! I just can’t seem to take the extra second to spray and let it dry. So what did I get from this batch, see below!
4 Picks for Clean Beauty Anti-aging Products
The Must-Have Day Cream
This one is light enough for day but extremely active in anti-aging properties. If you can just get one thing, I would get this! I have oily skin and even though it’s so hot and humid right now, it’s perfect. I had been using my Countermatch Adaptive Moisturizer, which is a best seller but am excited to get my clean beauty anti-aging on!
The Heavy Lifter
This cream is the richest and most hydrating. Starting to use as night cream! For summer, I recommend that you use the lotion above since it’s lighter. However, in the winter you can probably get away with just this one, especially if you have drier skin.
If you wanna get fancy
Serums are next level and more of a time commitment but worth every second and every drop. If you want to dramatically change the hydration and suppleness/elasticity of your skin try this! You’ll see a big difference in about a week.
Protect Your Eyes
The only eye creams I’ve ever used are from BeautyCounter, I talk a bit more about it here! What I love about their eye creams is how easily they are absorbed. They don’t mess with your eye make-up or vision, but they still intensely hydrate. If you are over 30, I recommend that you get this! Call it preventative care, it’s half the battle of anti-aging.
My favorite thing about clean anti-aging beauty products is that I am not rubbing harmful chemicals on my loved ones! I was always really miopic about skincare safety and didn’t take it too seriously. I used to think “how bad can it be?”. Enter motherhood: it was a complete game changer about how I thought about my beauty products. If you don’t know where to begin I recommend that you just start with one product. There’s no need to just wipe out your old make-up at once. That way you can test the products, get comfortable with the concept of safer products and go from there.
How To Start a Clean Slate
One of the things that I love about BeautyCounter is that they have an awesome Band of Beauty membership where each time you buy something you get 10% back in product credit, as well as free shipping for order over $100! Along with a free gift, you can start building up your arsenal of clean beauty products. I think common misconceptions are:
- Clean Beauty doesn’t work.
- Clean Beauty is too expensive.
- Cleaner Products don’t have enough variety.
I have found that with BeautyCounter, all of these concerns are solved for! I started small with a Dew Skin CC type of cream, a lipstick, and the eye cream. It all grew from there! Please let me know if you have questions about clean beauty anti-aging products! XO, Z
