For April’s Monthly Beauty Buys, I’m sharing three products I purchased over a month ago. I was looking for a new sunscreen and serum for my everyday use. After reading reviews on Skinceuticals I popped into a local store and bought these two products. Along with the TruMarine Collagen powder sticks, I find that all three have made a difference to my skin.

April’s Monthly Beauty Buys

Skinceuticals Serum 10
I apply this serum only in the morning. I gentle pat it into my skin and give it a minute to absorb. Since using it I’ve noticed my skin has cleared up, become smoother and some of my dark spots have lightened up. A little goes a long way and it should last me about 4 months. It’s an antioxidant serum that combines ferulic acid with 10% pure vitamin C to enhance antioxidant performance. Once this serum is absorbed, it can’t be washed or rubbed off. It remains effective for a minimum of 72 hours!

Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defence SPF 50 Tinted
This tinted sunscreen absorbs into my skin and gives me a nice tint for everyday wear. All I have to do is maybe apply some concealer and bronzer and I’m good to go. The product is a weightless fluid with 100% physical filters that effectively provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and is water resistant up to 40 minutes. It also contains artemia salina, a plankton extract that increases skin’s resistance to UV- and heat-induced stress, and translucent color spheres that adapt to every skin tone for a radiant finish.

withinUs TruMarine Collagen
I put this into my smoothie every morning. I can’t taste it and apparently you can dissolve it in water, soups, sauces etc. It’s an easy way to get more collagen into our diet. Great for skin, hair, nails and joints. I’ve also noticed a difference in my skin and hair since having this everyday. It also comes in a loose powder form. Collagen is the most important structural protein in the body, representing 75% of our skin & 7% of our total body weight. For women, since we turn 25, we lose 1% of our collagen each year; this causes skin to wrinkle, joints to stiffen, and bones to weaken.

  3. The Collagen sounds great, I definitely need something to help with my nails! My daily is a CC cream with SPF already included, gives me a nice glow and a little extra color!
