Hi beauties! This post has been a long time coming for me. And if I am being honest, I never thought I would see the day that I would be sharing my skincare routine with anyone because my skin has NEVER looked and felt this healthy. “This is not a drill, you are literally doing this right now” is all my brain keeps telling itself 😂!
I feel like there is SO much to share but I am going to do my best to keep it simple. 🤞 If you want to skip ahead to my routine, go ahead! I am also providing a little background into my decision to try Beauty Counter and how I am ultimately now working with them to revolutionize the beauty and skin care industry with safer and cleaner products!
Skin Story
A few days ago I opened up about my deeply painful skin story. If you missed that, you can catch it here on my insta stories. My history of skin issues including cystic acne, deep tissue scarring, redness, dehydration, dullness, and more had left me desperate for the help that my skin needed but sadly would never get. I felt betrayed by my skin and more than that I felt like a guinea pig, constantly being prescribed medications with TOXIC ingredients (in which I didn’t know at the time).
Into my Own Hands
I quite literally PRAYED to God to fix my skin. And although I had no idea which way to go, I felt the nudge to try holistic healing methods such as changing my diet, getting facials more frequently, and really examining what I was putting on my skin. I said NO MORE to the terribly damaging (and toxic) chemicals that were being used to quote “treat” my skin. *Later, I would come to find out, they were the cause of my issues altogether!
If you are wondering some of the medications I was prescribed I am going to save that for another post, as it’s a really big topic and feel it deserves it’s own post!
My Skin Care Routine
Here is my entire skin care routine that has not only transformed my skin but also my life in ways that I am still figuring out! I will leave my consultant links highlighted under each photo for easy shopping.
The Dream Team
Here is the travel set I purchased from Beauty Counter’s “Countermatch” line. Please note: this set has recently been rebranded and can now be found in a white and gold package and not the blue you see here.
“What are the 4 products that I see and how do they all work together to give me my dream skin?!”
I love this set! It includes a cleanser, serum, day cream, and a night cream. I also purchased an eye cream, a trio of oils, and a weekly peel! I created a video for how I use these on my Instagram stories so head there if you want to see my morning routine in action.
I will list out my am and pm routine, then share what makes each product so luxurious and unique!
AM Routine:
Cleanse
Serum
Eye cream
Am cream
…
PM Routine

(twice a week I use the peel during this step)
Serum
Facial Oil
Night Cream
Product Spotlight
Now that I’ve shared which products I am using and in which order, I can now get onto my favorite part..! Sharing each item individually and what makes them beyond AMAZING 🙌!
First up in the Countermatch set is the cleanser “Pure Calm Cleansing Milk”.
Made with plum oil, jojoba seed oil, coconut oil, and Vitamin E this gentle yet luxurious cleanser removes dirt and makeup without stripping away your skin’s natural barrier. Never feel tight or dry after cleansing again and say hello to your most hydrated and nourished skin!
Next up is the prized serum that deserves all the praise hands for putting in WORK to protect and hydrate our skin like nothing else ever has 🙌 Friends, say hello to THE Intense Moisture Serum.
Packed with antioxidants C & E to AND Hyaluronic Acid (which our bodies produce naturally but lose as we age) this bottle will easily become your new BFF and will deliver that beautiful tone we all hope and dream about!
Let’s talk about the Women’s Health Beauty award AKA the Adaptive Moisture Lotion that I layer on every morning.
Made with Plum Oil, Shea Butter, and natural derivatives of rice and olives in the form of Squalane and Phytic Acid… I am calling this moisturizer the smartest I know because it ADAPTS to you skin’s unique hydration needs throughout the day. Glow on girl , GLOWWW!
Now onto the last in this set, the Recovery Sleeping Cream.
This cream features the same ingredients as the Adaptive Moisture cream but with an added BOOST to replenish the moisture we naturally lose as we sleep. Wake up Sleeping Beauty, your skin has never felt this good!
*PS- excuse my very real “mom nails” 😜
Other Items
I will now share the other items I use in conjugation with the items above including the oil I am obsessed with, weekly peel, and eye cream!
I received this trio of oils as a promotional gift, but find myself using one over all of them! I also NEVER thought I would be using oil on my face, so I am ready to dish on why they are SO GOOD for your skin.
This beautiful blend of oils works to create true RADIANCE in your skin by providing hydration and antioxidants that work to even skin tone for the softest and healthiest look. This is an ALLURE Best in Beauty Award Winner!!
I decided to add on an eye cream because a good eye cream is absolutely essential. I find that as I age, my under eyes are the first to show any signs of neglect! This cream takes away my puffy under eye look in exchange for well rested and hydrated eyes… it’s like magic.
The ultimate anti-aging cream, this one packs a mighty punch with wild algae and caffeine to condition the sensitive area as well as jambu extract that works to protect an otherwise compromised part of our face. Pack your eye bags, they aren’t welcome here anymore!
Lastly, I must share the miracle in a bottle that is changing my life TWICE a week. Welcome to your skin therapist in a bottle aka the Overnight Resurfacing Peel.
Made with botanically derived lactic acid and essential fatty acids, this is the treatment your esthetician doesn’t want you to know about! This leave in treatment will work all night to remove dead skin cells so you can wake up to new skin and a crystal clear complexion.
Two Tools
If you watched me using these products on my Instagram video, then you may have noticed the other tools I used. One is a silicone brush used to clean my face and the other is a high frequency wand that I have found helpful in treating random breakouts! I will link them here.
The brush is a bit more pricey but never needs replacing and the wand is only $40 on amazon prime.
I’m Your New Skin BFF
Yes you read that right. Because I am SO thankful to my girlfriend for sharing these amazing products with me that changed my skin and life like I never thought it could, I want to be that friend for ALL of my friends too. Now, we don’t have to settle with our skin care routines. We can have real CONFIDENCE again and I just KNOW that it all starts here!
Are you ready to say yes to your best skin? Drop me a comment, DM on Instagram or email and let me help you. It is going to be our greatest adventure yet and I can’t wait to get started with YOU. And remember, never settle for anything less than your best self because the world deserves that sparkle that only you can give!!
Ending this with big hugs 💕💕
