  3. Thank you for your research! You are very thorough in your recommendations. I am, however, 61 yrs. old and like to live a somewhat simple lifestyle. I definitely don’t like my aging skin and need to take excellent care of it to stop its declining condition. Looking at all these different products, from all these varied companies, somewhat boggles my mind. I live in the very dry climate of the CO mountains and my skin is very dry and prone to eczema. Could you please recommend the best single company from which I can purchase all my skin care products? Also, could you provide a start to finish list of absolutely essential products that will give me a simplified daily regimen to follow. Thank you so much!

    • Hi Anita 🙂 I am sure it can be overwhelming with the amount of choices that are available and yes, we have recommended a variety of brands on this page (which I understand can be a bit mind boggling). If I were to recommend one company, it would be Dr Alkaitis. Their line of skin care products are meant to bring balance to all skin types. “Dr. Alkaitis practices a comprehensive holistic approach to skin care. He treats the skin as the whole living organism it is, not as a collection of concerns.”

      For a dry skin regime I would recommend:
      Daytime
      Step 1: Purifying Facial Cleanser to remove impurities, dirt, oil and grime.
      Step 2: Herbal Toner to even skin tone and soften the skin.
      Step 3: Day Cream to moisturize and protect the skin.
      Step 4: Eye Cream to soften the delicate eye area.
      Nighttime
      Step 1: If you wear makeup, use the Mascara & Eye Make-up Remover
      Step 2: Purifying Facial Cleanser
      Step 3: Herbal Toner
      Step 4: Night Cream or the Nourishing Treatment Oil. The Nourishing Treatment Oil seals in moisture and balances oil production. The Night Cream restores your skin’s vitality and natural translucence.
      Step 5: Eye Cream
      Weekly
      Use the Beautifying Mask as a weekly nourishing mask. This mask deeply nourishes and helps to prevent signs of aging by supporting collagen production.

  4. Hii Andrea,
    I’m 27 yrs old. I have oily skin. Can you suggest what is the Best skincare for me

    • Hi Adelle, I like to use a tinted moisturizer with SPF on my face as a sunscreen. I like tinted creams because I like to use sunscreens with zinc oxide in them, and zinc oxide makes your face look white. The tinting helps conceal that. I really like ILIA’s Sheer Vivid Tinted Moisturizer. It has an SPF of 20.

    • The products on this page will work for all skin types. so you could use this list as a guide to finding products. If you want specific recommendations, I need to know more about your skin and the climate you live in, as well as your budget. When you say you want to get clean and clear skin, what do you mean? Do you have blemishes, or just flakiness and dryness?

    • Hi Christina, I have recently heard from my friends about a product that works to get rid of expression lines on the forehead. They are called Frownies. They are sticky strips that you use nightly to train your muscles to relax so that your lines disappear. They do need to be used consistently to see results. Another option is to use a hyaluronic acid serum to plump up your skin and prevent further wrinkles. I like Radha Beauty Hyaluroic Acid Serum.

  9. I have an extremely sensitive skin, and also have a lot of hyper pigmentation. My skin is also very sensitive to light and heat. I have not been able to find any moisturizer, make up and sunblock which my face can tolerate. Please give me some suggestions about what organic make up, etc I can use on my face.

    Thank you.

    • Hi Pratima, have you ever heard of Pai Skincare? They specialize in products for sensitive skin. They have moisturizers, not sure if they have a sunblock. They don’t make makeup. Have you tried plain mineral makeup? Alima Pure makes mineral makeup that I really like. I would stay away from drying ingredients such as alcohol. Look for products made for sensitive skin. Because you are sensitive to light and heat, you need a sunblock. I am not sure which sunblock to recommend to you, because I don’t know what your skin is sensitive to. I would suggest a sunscreen with zinc oxide in it, as it is an anti-inflammatory. A tinted moisturizer with sunblock might be good, as it will hydrate, protect, and conceal your skin. Suntegrity makes a highly rated tinted sunscreen.

  10. Based on what I read, I have combination/mature skin, though I sometimes feel it is becoming more dry (but didn’t really match the description of dry skin type). I live in Kansas where weather can change several times in one day! I am more on the budget end of the spectrum. Do you have any suggestions? I do like earthy scents more than floral! Thanks!

    • Hi Kathy, I would treat your aging skin with a potent serum and target your dryness with a good moisturizer. A toner might be a good addition to combat any oiliness from the combo skin. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, use a toner without alcohol (I like thayers), apply your serum (this one from TEVA Organic is a great product, but if you want something cheaper, this InstanNaturals serum is also good), then finish with your moisturizer. The Christina Moss moisturizer is good for all skin types and has a mild licorice scent.

      Let me know if you have any other questions!

      Reply

      • I did think of a few additional questions/comments. I also have so me pigmentation and would like to find something that would help even that out. Would you still suggest thayers for this? Also, is it better to stay in the same skin care line? I notice your suggestions are from different lines. Thanks again!!

        Reply

        • Hi Kathy, The rose in the thayers toner helps even out complexion, so it will be good at helping with your hyper-pigmentation. You can decide to stick to one brand of products, as the products will be made to work together, however it isn’t necessary. InstaNaturals has a serum meant for brightening the skin and dealing with spots, it also helps with aging, so you could use that one instead of the other I recommended.

  11. According to 100 percent pure’s website, their intensive nourishing moisture balm has recently been discontinued. Do you have an alternative suggestion for a budget buy moisturizing balm? Thank you!

      • I am trying to figure out something natural and pure that is on a budget buy but that will really clean well. I am sorry for being complicated I am just indecisive

        • Hi Veronica, the Christina Moss Naturals cleanser that we link to above is a great budget buy. Acure Organics has budget cleansers as well, and offer a variety of different ones.

    • No, that would be fine. Eventually you may want to move away from MAC makeup and use more natural makeup, but mixing an organic cleanser with regular makeup is not a bad thing. I have to use drugstore makeup at the moment because I cannot afford organic makeup, but I use organic cleansers, facial oils, and serums. You have to pick your battles 🙂

      • Thanks so much for your advice. Have you heard of mad hippe as well? I found an app called think dirty and it’s really cool because you can scan products and it tells you if it contains toxic products. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have all products but it’s helpful in case you ever wanna try it too!

        I don’t have any Mac makeup but my friend sometimes does my makeup with that so I figured I should ask 🙂

        Also, I’m confused on how to use the stuff for my face. Would it first be cleanser, toner, moisturizer and then the exfoliator or is the exfoliation only once a week?

        Reply

        • I have heard of Mad Hippie! They are a good brand as well 🙂 There are so many great brands making organic skin care 🙂 I have also heard of the Think Dirty app, I just recently got my first cell phone (a little late to the party, I know), so I could actually try out the app now!

          Yes, your skin care routine would be: cleanser first, then toner. After that you would moisturize. Exfoliation can be done 1-2 times a week (I recommend every 3 days).

          Reply

          • I really want to try them but they are not on the think dirty app and the product of theirs that is says it is not good :/ I also read the Derma-E ones since they claim to be really good but think dirty says otherwise 🙁

            Oh, that is awesome! 🙂

            I will try the exfoliator from acure I am just trying to get the perfect cleanser as well first. Would I need a serum?

          • I have used Derma-E products, and I know that they have some questionable ingredients. I try not to be too dogmatic about everything being completely pure. If you really want purity, you are going to be paying way more money. Brands like Laurel Whole Plant Organics, Kypris Beauty, Dr Alkaitis, those are going to be the best you can buy, but they are not affordable to everyone. If you really want to go clean and pure on a budget, then stick to very simple items and make some of your own skin care. A cleanser is not the most important part of your skin care routine, because it only stays on your face for about 6 seconds. You could look at buying some castile soap (like Dr Bronners) and use that on your face, that is super simple and affordable.

            A serum is a great addition to a skin care routine, because it can target any issues you may have with your skin. It can be hard to find a clean serum. Most of the high-end brands don’t even make water-based serums, they make oil blends and call them serums (because they are easier to make pure and don’t need preservatives).

            Sometimes we have to be willing to bend a little to fit into a budget. What is your skin type? What would you want a serum to do for you?

  15. So the reason I asked about the brand essance is because they are also an organic brand but they told me that the cleanser and toner is fine to use at night time without moustirizer but that it is not necessary to cleanse day and night.

    • Everyone has their own advice to give. Skin care is so individual, that you basically have to try things out for yourself and see how your skin reacts. Your skin care routine will depend on your skin type and climate. I know people who don’t cleanse twice a day, or use water to wash their face. I personally have to wash my face twice a day, because I have oily skin with acne. I never used to use a moisturizer, until I found one specifically for adult acne, and now I use it twice a day.

      With so much different advice, it can be hard to know what to do. I say just jump in and try things, see how your skin reacts, and go from there 🙂

        • It depends. A hydrating primer is great if you have flaking or dry skin. Your makeup will look much better with a primer underneath, it will also last longer. If you have oily skin, a mattifying primer can help control shine. If your skin texture is already good, a primer is not really necessary.

  16. i have deeper fine line /wrinkles on my skin. I had been using Eminence Bamboo Serum and Acai moisturizer since 2 year ago. They do not work and nothing to reduce wrinkle and fine lines. Which brand is best for reducing deeper fine lines and wrinkles.

    Reply

    • Hi Maka, it can be tough for a skin care product to have any effect on deep lines. Mainly, topical skin care products help nourish our skin to slow the aging process, but they cannot stop it. One topical ingredient that does have a more pronounced effect on wrinkles is glycolic acid. If you really want to see results, you have to take more drastic approaches. Have you tried radiofrequency devices? They can stimulate collagen production on a level that topical skin care can barely reach.

  18. Hi,

    I need help finding a way to care for my skin. I am 49, very active with boys, and a teacher. My skin is very sensitive and I think I have a slight case of rosacea. The cold and dry winter weather here in the northeast makes my skin very dry and red. Could you please recommend products, budget friendly would be best, to help me not just cover up the redness, but alleviate the problem skin I have. I would also love to find hair products for fine hair.
    Thanks
