It’s high time for some serious self-love. Leaving behind toxicity, feeling good in your skin and taking care of your health are essential to living your best life. And we’re here to show you how.
Skincare is a good place to start off. When exposed to UV light and cold weather, or if you’re dealing with hormonal changes, problems tend to arise. This can vary from acne and excessive oil production to dryness, age spots and wrinkles. Tailoring your skincare routine accordingly is the only key to managing any skin care issue.
To make it that much easier for you to do, we met up with dermatologists and cosmetic doctors to reveal this season’s must-have products that they actually buy from Sephora.
Here’s their selection and what to use them for.

Sephora AHA Firming Sleeping Cream
This cream contains Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), one of the most important anti-aging compounds. It primarily exfoliates the skin and stimulates new cell formation which helps with underlying skin issues like wrinkles, age spots, discolouration and acne. Looking to have a smoother and brighter skin complexion, this one is your go-to.
