I have a huge collection of skincare, haircare, body care and devices so it's nice to take an inventory of the things that I reach for over and over. This helps me determine what to repurchase and even what to have on backup :)
The products listed below are 12 things that I have used religiously over the last month (and honestly do not see myself stopping anytime soon). A few of these products are newer to me but have been in my routine daily since I got them. One is a cult favorite, another is one that I have had in my arsenal forever but recently picked back up and fell in love with it all over again. Be sure to read the “fun facts” with each product…the more you know, you know?
Every month I am going to evaluate my skincare choices and try my best to pull old faves from my collection and USE them. What have you been reaching for most?
I hope you have the best day!

Dermelect Revitalite Professional Eyelid & Dark Circle Corrector
Code PENN20 saves 20%
What I love about this product: I have had this in my arsenal for a few years now and I strayed as I tried other things… After using it again I realized how much I have missed it. This product is packed full of great ingredients (two peptide complexes that are perfect in an eye cream: haloxyl and eyeseryl) and the cooling tip applicator is amazing in the morning!
Fun Facts:
Haloxyl is known for its ability to target the enzymes responsible for dark pigmentation under the eyes, effectively reducing the appearance of dark circles. Additionally, it aids in reinforcing the skin's structure, which may result in a more rejuvenated eye area.

What I love about this product:
I just shared this in a recent New Discoveries video and I am telling you that it is SO GOOD! I have not stopped picking this up since I got it! 10/10 on this sunscreen! All mineral, tinted, layers great with all of my other products & has DNA REPAIR ENZYMES!!!! Plus Iron Oxides that add an extra form of protection from visible light. I am absolutely in love with this one!
Fun Fact:
DNA repair enzymes in sunscreen help to mitigate the harmful effects of UV radiation by repairing damaged DNA within the skin cells, reducing the risk of mutations and premature aging. By enhancing the skin's natural defense mechanisms, they contribute to maintaining skin health and minimizing the risk of sun-induced skin damage.

What I love about this product: I have been working on collagen content for a few years now and this has led me to use so many different collagens on the market… you name it, I have tried it! This one contains 2 different types of collagen- one that is essential for our bone health and the other one is essential for our skin health. I mix this in with water and it actually TASTES GOOD which is a major plus in my book!

Fortibone (in Skin & Bone) is specifically designed to support bone health by promoting bone density and strength. Its unique peptide composition has been shown to stimulate the production of collagen in bone tissue, aiding in the maintenance of skeletal integrity and reducing the risk of fractures.

Fun Fact:
Omega-3s provide essential fatty acids that support heart health by reducing inflammation and lowering triglyceride levels. Additionally, omega-3s are beneficial for brain function and may help improve mood and cognitive function.
Cymbiotika B12 & B6
What I love about this product: I recently read that vitamin b12 deficiency may contribute to hyperpigmentation and dark circles under the eyes (among other issues). So I started using this supplement and I love it because it is so easy to take, just 12 pumps and you’re done. It also contains fulvic minerals-major plus!
Fun Fact:
B-12 plays a crucial role in energy production, nerve function, and the synthesis of DNA. Supplementing with vitamin B-12 can help prevent deficiency-related symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and cognitive impairment.
