You could probably guess that our team at The Skinny Confidential KNOWS skin.
From our day to day jobs of shooting and creating content, writing about beauty and skin, hearing podcast guests in the beauty industry and helping Lauryn create her own products, we’ve picked up a thing or two along the way.
We thought it was about time to update you on the latest and greatest in skincare that we’re LOVING.
So for glowing skin from head to toe, and inside out, let’s get into our team favorites: SKINCARE EDITION
The Skinny Confidential Team Favorites: SKINCARE EDITION
Mimi Evarts, Director of Branding:
My Korean skincare clinic in LA introduced me to EGF and now its the #1 ingredient I look for. Retinol was too harsh for my skin so I use exclusively EGF instead now. Retinol promotes skin to shed old layers to even out texture, where as EGF helps to strengthen and rebuild skin layers. “This ingredient signals cells to boost collagen and elastin production, diminishing signs of aging and improving skin density and elasticity.”
This is my holy grail oil, I used to use pure Tamanu oil when I first started getting adult acne because it is antimicrobial, and can help heal scarring. But then I discovered The Best Oil Ever on TikTok, it combines Tamanu oil & Seabuckthorn which sends its lipids deep into the skin, diminishing imbalances from the inside out. It is an excellent addition to cleansers for acne.
This has changed my life. My experience with mouth tape is similar to my experience with skincare. Once I tried it, and got into a routine, now I can’t go to sleep without it. When we were developing our mouth tape, I tried a ton of different options to compare. The Skinny Confidential’s stands out for its size and adhesive. I slather on so much oil at night getting into bed is like riding down a slip n’ slide. But the mouth tape stays on all night long. It’s not an addition to my routine, it’s a necessity.
Hilary, Head Editor:
Very into this new collagen I got. It’s in liquid form not powder and comes in these little packets that are perfect for travel. I like it best mixed in water with ice, but it’s amazing in warm water too. If you love lemon like me (and Lauryn) this is one to try. It contains tons of Vitamin C which I’ve recently learned is helpful for helping you actually absorb the collagen (this one is marine collagen). And the branding?! ::chef’s kiss:: Since taking collagen I’ve noticed a big difference in my hair, nails and joints.
This is something I use every single day. Like Lauryn, I used to buy cheap ice rollers on Amazon, so I was so happy when she created The Skinny Confidential’s. It instantly soothes irritation and redness which is so good for my sensitive skin, and it stays super cold, even if you store it in the fridge.
I’ve been holding a lot of tension in my jaw lately so I use this every single night to help me relax. Afterwards I roll it all over forearms and hands, which has been a dream after typing all day, every day.
Parker, Project & Operations Manager:
Obsessed with the Mouth Tape because it helps me breathe through my nose – not only when I have it on at night, but I’ve noticed I breathe through my mouth less throughout the day as well.
Vichy Vitamin C Brightening Serum
I love this Vitamin C serum because it truly brightens my skin, is affordable/can be found at any drugstore, and doesn’t have a sticky finish like many Vitamin C products do.
Victoria, Community Manager:
This is my forever favorite product. They release tension from my face and neck (where I hold stress), they are so soothing, and they also snatch my face. I use them at night when I want to relax and in the morning/daytime before applying makeup.Here are mine: I am loving
It has transformed my skin and is one of the few Vitamin C serums that works and doesn’t stink. If a skincare product stinks I cannot handle it because I’m so sensitive to smells. I love the whole Vitamin C line.
Genabelle PDRN Rejuvinating Cream
Really into this moisturizer right now. Lauryn loves salmon semen so I was intrigued to find out that PDRN (which is salmon semen) is in a lot of korean skincare.
Also loving Tower 28 spray because I work out a lot and it helps me not breakout / soothes my skin.
Katie Hobson, Lauryn’s Sr. Executive Assistant:
The dry brush is my favorite product BY FAR. The wind down it gives my nervous system is much needed after a long day at work. I hop in a nice hot shower and sleep like a baby every single night. My skin also stays glowing and buttery soft because of the bristles.
I live for this. I use it in the morning before the gym as hydration because I wake up with SUCH dry skin, especially during the summer. When I come home after my workout, I do my facial massage, then hop in the shower and cleanse it all off. It is non-toxic and smells amazing too. It keeps me hydrated all throughout my workout then really helps my fingers glide through my facial massage routine that Lauryn taught me.
Kolbie, Retention Manager:
I love that I can throw it in my purse and do my lymphatic drainage anywhere at any time- it really has taken my habit-stack routine to the next level.
Beautycounter Reflect Effect AHA Smoothing
Obsessed with this facial mask. It’s one of the best masks I’ve ever used and it visibly improves my complexion and gives the best glow instantly.
This is literally magic in a bottle. It has helped so much with healing my eczema and acne and it feels so refreshing to spray on.
Sophia Del Sole, Social Media Director:
I’m loving Le Spoon right now for at home lymphatic drainage – it’s the best on Sundays to feel refreshed for the week and detox after the weekend. I use it with my Osea Malibu body oil after a shower and it leaves my skin so hydrated before bed.
I throw these on every morning to wake up my eyes and love to ice roll over them as a habit stack for some extra depuffing. It’s also so quick, like 10 mins while I’m making my coffee before work.
I mix this with the Saie sunglow. It has been my go-to daily makeup. It’s so easy and light weight so it’s perfect for work, plus it gives a natural, sunkissed glow to my skin. Layer it with some blush, and Brow Peptide and it’s like the perfect, 2 minute, no makeup, makeup look.
We hope you love our recommendations. What skincare are you loving right now? Tell us in the comments because we love trying new things (Lauryn has trained us well).
