A Few of My Beautycounter Faves
Me and little Cal Pal back in the day in the New York City Beautycounter flagship in SOHO.
Hey there, friendies!
Let’s talk skin care for a moment. Even though Beautycounter suddenly and somewhat unexpectedly paused their operations back in April, my passion for using safer and highly effective products was never put on pause! In fact, the past couple of months has given me a chance to test out some new “clean” beauty products that had been on my radar and popping up in my Instagram feed! But, despite the experimenting, a few Beautycounter products have stood the test of time and earned a permanent spot in my routine. Here are the tried-and-true Beautycounter essentials that I keep coming back to—and why they’re still my favorites!
all bright c serum
I have not tried another vitamin c serum that gives you both an instant glow up and sustained results over time.
1. All Bright Vitamin C Serum
If you’re not on the vitamin C train, allow me to change your life! Beautycounter's All Bright Vitamin C Serum has been my go-to for bringing a bright, refreshed look to my skin. It’s my skin’s morning coffee (minus the caffeine jitters), packed with two powerful types of vitamin C that help even out my tone and keep my complexion radiant. I love that it’s formulated without harmful chemicals but still gives that immediate, “I just got a facial” glow.
cleansing balm
This has been my favorite cleanser for 10 years! It’s the ultimate multitasker and great for all skin types. Cleanses, removes makeup, and moisturizes
2. The Cleansing Balm
This multi-purpose Cleansing Balm is my answer to makeup removal, hydration, and a little bit of skin pampering all in one. It’s super gentle but effective, and I use it as both a cleanser and an overnight mask when my skin needs extra love. The best part? No greasy residue! Just fresh, clean, and nourished skin. If you're looking for something to elevate your cleansing routine, this balm’s where it’s at.
The Cleansing Balm is currently listed on the website as “Out of Stock” but I heard a rumor that it would be back before the sale ends. Join my waitlist and I will send you an update when I hear anything!
reflect effect aha mask
This is my go to before a big night out or if I want my skin to be extra soft, glowing and primed for make up application.
3. Reflect & Effect AHA Mask
Every now and then, I like to give my skin a little extra glow boost, and that’s when the Reflect & Effect AHA Mask comes out. It’s got a blend of alpha hydroxy acids that gently exfoliate and brighten, leaving my skin smoother and softer. With ingredients like glycolic and lactic acids, it delivers spa-like results without the redness or harshness of traditional peels. It’s a must-have for anyone who loves an at-home spa night.
countersun facial sunscreen
It’s completely clear, lightweight and does not leave any residue. Also bonus…will not clog the pore or make you breakout!
4. Countersun Face Sunscreen
We all know sun protection is non-negotiable, right? The Countersun Face Sunscreen is my everyday shield against those rays. This sunscreen is mineral-based, lightweight, and leaves no chalky residue, which is a huge win in my book. Plus, it’s reef-friendly, so you can enjoy beach days without worry. It’s not just protection—it’s peace of mind in a bottle.
cheeky clean cream blush
When your friend who’s a make up artist tells you that this is your perfect shade, you don’t use anything else!
5. Cheeky Clean Cream Blush
I am all about a multi-tasking product, and the Cheeky Clean Cream Blush is a gem. It’s got the right amount of pigment for a natural flush and is super blendable. I love how it melts into the skin, making my cheeks look dewy without being shiny. It’s also in a cute, reusable compact (just another reason to love Beautycounter!).
mighty plum ceramide water cream
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
6. Mighty Plump Water Cream
Hydration is everything, and Beautycounter's Mighty Plump Water Cream is that tall drink of water my skin craves. It’s ultra light and doesn’t clog pores, making it perfect for layering under makeup or using alone. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid and squalane, and ceramide it locks in moisture, keeping my skin looking plump and bouncy all day long. It’s one of those “if you know, you know” products that I can’t do without!
sugarbuff body polish
Make every shower feel like a spa treatment.
7. Sugar Scrub
Every once in a while, you need a little self-care that feels like pure indulgence. The Sugar Scrub is my body care treat that leaves my skin feeling smooth and pampered. It gently exfoliates with natural sugar crystals, and the scent? Divine! It’s the perfect addition to any bath routine and leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized. Don’t worry friendie, I won’t tell if you use this everyday. This is my go to hostess gift over the holidays too.
These Beautycounter products have been staples in my routine, not only because they work wonders on my skin, but because they align with my values for clean, safe beauty. Let me know if you’ve tried any of these, or if you have other Beautycounter favorites—sharing is caring!
Happy pampering, friendies!
Be Well!
