Best Of Beauty 2015 | Skincare





Face Masks:
1. Tony Moly Aloe Sheet Mask - Cutest packaging ever, and it keeps my skin feeling hydrated, without leaving a sticky residue.
2. Origins Clear Improvements Charcoal Mask - One of my favorite detoxifying masks. It's very affordable, and keeps my skin from breaking out. Even though it's detoxifying, I don't find that it drys out my skin.
3. Origins Out of Trouble Mask - Great as both a mask and a spot treatment. I like to use this when my skin is feeling in need of some TLC or I'm breaking out. It clears my skin right up.
4. Aztec Secret Indian Healing Mask - This mask is intense, and seriously keeps your skin free of blemishes. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin, because again, it's very strong. 
5. Glamglow Thirstymud Hydrating Treatment - My favorite hydrating mask. It smells like a piña colada and leaves my skin feeling like a baby's bottom. 

Toners:
6. Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner - I've always used the Clinique clarifying lotion as my toner, and I still do, but this year, I was super impressed by this toner. It has glycolic acid in it which helps prevent breakouts and I've found that it even works a little better than the Clinique one.

Exfoliators: 
7. Glam Glow Flashmud Brightening Treatment  - Such an amazing exfoliator. I use this to exfoliate my dry flakes so that they don't disturb my makeup. Totally worth the splurge.

Moisturizers:
8. Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins - I've mentioned this in a favorites before and it's truly amazing. It hydrates and softens, without clogging pores. I can'y recommend it enough. 
9. True Moringa Lavender Face Oil - This oil is magic in a bottle. It's the best I've ever used, and I've completely replaced my Josie Maran Argan Oil. It smells so good, and really has transformed my dry skin.
10. First Aid Beauty Triple Remedy Overnight Balm - Such a great nighttime eye cream. It's really thick which helps with dehydrated under eyes, which cause concealer to crease. Another home run by First Aid Beauty.

Treatments:
11. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion - This is the best spot treatment for blemishes. It completely dries the out, which can be a bit intense, but is the fastest way to clear skin.

Tools:
12. Clarisonic Mia II - This isn't necessarily a yearly favorite, but I thought I should include it in this post because I do use this every day. I've had it for almost three years and it has completely changed the way my skin looks. It's the best investment you can make when it comes to skincare. 

Cleansers:
13. Philosophy Purity Cleanser - This is a holy grail cleanser, and I recommend it to everyone. It's great for all skin types, perfect to use with the clarisonic, and gets off all of my makeup.
14. Clinique Foaming Sonic Facial Soap - I tried this at the end of the year and was pleasantly surprised. I love the way it foams up and I've noticed it does a great job and getting my skin very clean.

Makeup Removers:
15. Simple Makeup Wipes - I'm really picky when it comes to makeup wipes and these are by far the best I've tried. They're so moist, and get off all of my makeup. I'll never use another brand again!
