My favorite face sunscreen: Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47
This stuff goes on silky smooth, absorbs quickly, does not have the greasy sunscreen feel, and is seriously perfect underneath makeup. Can't get enough.
What it is formulated to do:
This all-natural, chemical-free, lightweight sunscreen moisturizes the skin with a non-greasy texture. It features skin-loving ingredients such as green tea, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and innovative SunBoost ATB, resulting in powerful sun protection. This product includes all the benefits you'd expect from an Argan Oil-infused daily moisturizer: skin-nourishing, texture-smoothing, and radiance-boosting. Ultimate protection plus beautifying benefits—true bliss.

My favorite cleanser: Beauty Counter's Charcoal Cleansing Bar
This cleansing bar uses charcoal to draw out impurities in your skin and leaves it feeling soft, smooth, and glowing. I'm not kidding when I say after just two uses, every single pore on my face was clear.
Did you know the United States legally allows skin care products to contain over 1,500 harmful and questionable ingredients, some of which are KNOWN CANCER CAUSING SUBSTANCES and are banned or restricted by the European Union? Beauty Counter is committed to a health and safety standard that goes well beyond what is legally required in the United States and uses safe ingredients in all of their products.
What it's formulated to do: Detoxifies and absorbs impurities in your skin without drying it out, resulting in a smoother, brighter complexion. Made with antioxidant-rich, organic green tea and hydrating organic coconut oil, the gentle formula can be used daily on your face and body.
