Natural Luxury Skincare line for Dry, Mature and Sensitive Skin: Ayr Skin Care

I am so excited to have discovered Ayr Skin Care, a new clean line for dry, mature and sensitive skin with proven results for deep hydration and wrinkle reduction. These effective products were specially formulated in Southern California by a mother-daughter team who use the highest quality products that are non-toxic, cruelty-free and sourced from small family and woman owned co-ops from around the world. All of the products are made in small batches and housed in beautiful eco-friendly packaging.

These products have been game-changing for me, especially the Pure Moisture Nourishing Face Cream in terms of achieving a flawless, youthful glow. I have super dry skin and after using this cream for the past month, my skin feels deeply hydrated and looks and feels its best! I’ve noticed a brighter, more luminous appearance in my complexion. Rich in allantoin, primrose extract, Vitamin C, phenylalanine, argan oil, and honeysuckle hydrosol, this day cream is luxury to the max. The ingredients contain powerful peptides that combat wrinkles and probiotics that feed the skin. You only need to use a small amount of product and the cream absorbs easily leaving skin with a gorgeous matte finish.

Another favorite of mine from the line is the Calm Facial Bar. This unique and beautifully swirled facial bar clarifies and illuminates the skin. It also revitalizes the skins elasticity, increases circulation, and stimulates collagen production. Ingredients include organic avocado butter, castor oil and ginger grass—all incredibly soothing.

Their luxury skin care formulas are free of toxic ingredients, parabens, silicones, paraffin, gluten, soy, dairy, synthetic dyes and artificial perfumes. Taking care of your skin by using the safest and most effective products should be a priority, especially if you want to look and feel your best.

Clean Beauty Makeup: Top 10 Picks for a Gorgeous, Natural Look + IGTV Tutorial

Over the past year, I’ve been making an effort to find and test the best products in clean beauty including my every day makeup. With so many incredible brands popping up these days that are safe, non-toxic and effective, why use anything else on our skin? I never thought it would be so easy to switch out my favorite department store makeup but what motivated me the most was being able to find health-conscious, ethically packaged products without having to sacrifice quality. I’m also super excited to announce that I have dropped my very first IGTV how-to video on exactly how I create my everyday makeup look with these clean beauty products!

Below are my top 10 picks for a gorgeous natural makeup look.

Click on the direct links to shop the products!

1. Coola BB Cream - The farm to face tinted moisturizer is my everyday go-to product as it provides the perfect amount of light coverage and leaves my skin hydrated and glowing! It’s formulated with rose stem cells, which helps improve signs of aging and promote a youthful, dewy look to the skin. This triple-duty product also contains SPF 30 that protects the skin from the sun’s harmful rays throughout the day!

2. Ere Perez Under Eye Concealer - This particular natural under eye concealer offers incredible coverage for dark circles and is available in several blendable shades! It contains arnica, an anti-inflammatory herb that promotes healing for spots that may be darker or discolored. The texture is velvety and smooth due to the candelilla wax and cocoa butter base, two ingredients that are great for sensitive skin.

3. Lune+Aster Bronze & Blush Palette - This palette is the ideal two-in-one.  I use the bronzer all over my face for a natural, sun-kissed look and finish it off with the blush on the apples of my cheeks up to my cheekbone line.  The two together help me achieve the “just got back from vacation” glow!

4. Au Naturale Highlight Stick - This handcrafted highlighter is made with absolutely zero dyes or synthetics. I am obsessed with the Rose Gold shade and think it looks great on all skin tones. I usually apply it directly to my upper cheekbones after applying my blush for a gorgeous sheer shimmer effect.

5. Ere Perez Avocado Waterproof Mascara - This fantastic mascara is made with avocado and mamey oils which help to stimulate lash growth-yes please! The shape and size of this brush are perfect, making application super easy!  It’s all natural, waterproof, clump-free, completely unscented and perfect to use on the most sensitive eyes.

6. Ere Perez Jojoba Eye Pencil - This bronze liner is simply gorgeous and looks beautiful on all eye colors and skin tones. It’s made with a soothing formulation of oils, including jojoba, which encourages lash growth. The metallic shade goes on smooth and really makes your eyes pop in an elegant and understated way. I wear it from day to night!

7. Saint Naturally Nude Eye Palette - This natural eyeshadow palette enhances the eyes with the perfect amount of pigment that blend effortlessly to build depth, contour, shading or highlighting while defining any eye shape. There are six well-chosen colors in the compact that range from total matte to high-shimmer so it’s perfect to wear every day from lunch to cocktails.

8. Ere Perez Almond Brow Pencil - This “one-size-fits-all” brow pencil works for all brow colors and allows for easy shaping of any brow silhouette. There’s a little brush at the opposite end of the pencil which can be used to help distribute the color evenly and tame brow hairs.

9. Ilia Tinted Lip Conditioner - This award-winning lip conditioner is packed with natural ingredients including cocoa butter, olive oil, sesame oil, and vitamin E. The smooth texture feels super hydrating on the lips and can be layered with gloss or simply worn alone. I like the pink-neutral shade “O Baby” that nourishes and builds on each swipe. Perfect for girls on-the-go!

10. Lune+Aster Vitamin C+E Lipgloss - To finish off my natural makeup look, I use this natural gloss either by itself or on top of any neutral lipstick as it is the perfect shade of sheer, milky pink. I am very picky about the texture, smell and taste of my lipgloss and this one is perfect! It’s also fragrance-free and contains Vitamin E that is super hydrating.

Vegan makeup brushes by Jenny Patinkin, $150 for the set.
