3 Skin Care Products I Can't Live Without

By , About.com Guide

As a skin care/beauty editor, I get new products sent to me on a very regular basis. Some I review, others never make it to the website. (And some I pass on to Mary-Ellen Kramer so she can review them.)

After 4 years on this site, it's hard for a product to really "wow" me anymore, but these three products have done just that. Even though these are not new products to the market, I love them, recommend them, and continue to purchase them myself, even though my closet it full of possible replacements.

1. Clarins UV Dayscreen

UV Dayscreen from Clarins is my all-time, absolute favorite sunscreen for my face. It has a great SPF level and feels almost invisible on your skin. It's easy to keep in your handbag and reapply before lunch, too! Yes, it's a splurge, but I have tried so many facial suncreens that promise to be lightweight and oil-free, but this one blows them all out of the water.

2. Argan Oil

It took me all of a few days to fall head over heels for Argan Oil. (Argan Oil Benefits for Hair, Skin and Nails) It doesn't matter the brand as long as it's 100% pure argan oil, but if you are curious, we use ACTIVAROMA's Argan Oil. (Read review)

I use it as a straight facial moisturizer and my combo to normal, sometimes acne-prone skin drinks it in! No breakouts, no issues, in fact, my skin is so much better since I started using it. But I have to use the above Clarins to keep protected against the sun.

3. Beautisol: Go Slough Yourself

I have pretty much given up on wimpy exfoliators. I want one that will do the trick in one use, not over the week. I love mixing up sugar and almond oil, but when I don't want to bother a DIY recipe, I go for Beautisol's Go Slough Yourself.(read review) It is one of those exfoliators that after you use it, you immediately can tell. It's like getting a professional exfoliation done. Perfect to use to get your skin ready for a self-tanning lotion.
