Tips

The Monthly Edit: May Skin Care

Take a peek at which skincare products we’re using this month.

 

Mario Badescu Skin Care Spring Favorites

Last month was all about fixing winter skin—and now that it finally feels like spring here in NYC, we can fully commit to the Glow-with-a-capital-G. (For our colder-climate peeps who are still feeling the effects of winter weather, check out our guide on how to recuperate your skin and revive your complexion here!) These are the skincare products we’re using to achieve that effervescent, spring-has-sprung glow:

ACNE FACIAL CLEANSER

Before you keep scrolling, this face wash isn’t only for acne skin. Combination skin—especially come spring and summer—can benefit from this too. During this time of the year your skin can get a little temperamental. As it adjusts to the warmer weather, combo skin tends to experience increased oiliness, T-zone congestion, and the occasional pimple or two. So, rather than sit and wait for all that to happen, get ahead of the game. Take preventative measures by incorporating the Acne Facial Cleanser into your daily regimen. Its Salicylic Acid content is what helps keep skin in check. Exfoliating properties of Salicylic Acid enable it to deep clean and help dissolve pore-clogging impurities known to lead to breakouts or blackheads. And though this cleanser is incredibly effective at promoting clarity, it’s gentle—which means skin won’t feel dry or tight.

 

CUCUMBER CLEANSING LOTION

It’s cooling, it’s clarifying, it’s Cucumber. And before we make you sick with alliteration, two things:
  1. Cucumber boasts natural astringent and tightening properties that make it a must-have for clarifying combination, oily skin.
  2. Those mysterious things floating around in your bottle aren’t so mysterious. They’re slices of real Cucumber. J

 

A.H.A. & CERAMIDE MOISTURIZER

This lightweight, multi-tasking moisturizer hydrates and boosts brightness. Ceramides soften and smooth as Lemon and Lemongrass work to rejuvenate dull skin while diminishing the look of discoloration.

 

HERBAL HYDRATING SERUM

Think of the A.H.A. & Ceramide Moisturizer as your brightening base and the Herbal Hydrating Serum as your glow-getting topper. Apply this water-light gel wherever you need extra hydration or want to give your complexion a dewy finish—like around the nose and apples of your cheeks.

 

FACIAL SPRAY WITH ALOE, HERBS AND ROSEWATER

Mist on clean skin before moisturizer, then mist again after makeup for even more radiance. Like I said earlier: We’re going full throttle with this glow-getting theme. All. Or. Nothing. And it doesn’t stop here.

 

ENZYME REVITALIZING MASK

Let this be your mid-week pick-me-up and weekend spa treat. Perfect for dull, tired skin in need of a major boost, this mask does exactly what its name says it does: revitalize. For those who like instant gratification, this is a must for your glowing skin regimen.

 

SUMMER SHINE BODY LOTION

Sometimes you just want that extra oomph. This is it: It’s pure, tropical deliciousness that’s been infused with a fine shimmer…which means it lives up to its name and then some. With a subtle golden glimmer and a hint of summer vacations to come, Summer Shine Body Lotion is exactly what you need to achieve that glow (or when you need a pick-me-up). We love applying it wherever the sun would naturally hit our skin: the front of our legs, top of the shoulders, down the arm, and décolletage.
