Begin the new year with simple skin care (Photos)

Many of us like to use beauty products that are good to our bodies and the environment. Many commercial products are made with fillers and chemicals that make for bigger profits, but not necessarily better skin for you. Here a few products in that “natural” category for handling skin issues and aging.

Serums are a great boost for the skin. The Supreme Serum by Forward Skin Care can be used twice a day, under makeup and moisturizers. Tri-Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid work to smooth wrinkles, fight discoloration and help rebuild collagen. Because it doesn’t contain preservatives, it isn’t like a traditional serum/gel. Supreme comes out in a fine stream through an airless bottle. This serum helps to fight aging symptoms during the day, even your under makeup. I noticed my skin looked clearer and smoother after a few days of use. Forward Skincare is also cruelty free! Get it at ForwardSkincare.com.

Baudelaire 2 in 1 Oil Absorbing Primer + Mask is a simple, versatile product that can be used to cut down oil production or as a treatment mask. It is made in Australia from simple ingredients including purified water and Magnesium Hydroxide. The mask eliminates surface oil making your skin nice and smooth. Ever get those weird sweat patches on your face? I have one on my eyebrow that pops up here and there. lt washes away my makeup and is just annoying. I put a couple of drops of Bau Del Aire on it and it kept it at bay all day. Just $18 from www. baudelaire.com.au.

Arbonne is known as a leader in chemical free and vegan products. Their newest line of skincare, RE9 has products that contain nine major age-defying products. Protecting the skin from the sun is key to having good skin, but I always feel like my skin is too dry. Arbonne RE9 Advanced Extra Moisture Restorative Day Creme with Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen left my skin feeling like I doused it with a night cream. It smells a little like suntan oil mixed with orange to kind of pull you out of the winter doldrums. It is available alone or as part of other RE9 skincare sets through Arbonne.com.
