Beauty Brief: Ole Henriksen

Beauty is more than full coverage foundation, smudge-proof eyeliner, and long-lasting lipstick. It’s about healthy skin. That’s why for my latest mission I’m excited to report that I’ve found a skincare collection that really works for my oily summer and partially dry winter, skin.

For more than a year, I’ve been using Ole Henriksen products to clean, moisturize, and protect my skin. The skin care line is free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates—the harmful ingredients often found in beauty products. I’m so excited to share this intel with you because I get many quandaries about makeup products to help mask damaged skin. Well, it’s time to ditch the camouflage routine for a maintenance regime for a healthy face. Here’s what I do:

Step One

I wash my face with Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser. It’s a foam cleanser to combat the grit and grime that may accumulate throughout the day when I’m on a mission. The dirt is easily washed away without the harsh effects of some cleansers. It gives me that squeaky clean feeling I love and prevents shine.

Step Two

To keep my skin supple I use Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Vitamin C Collagen Booster. Formulated with vitamin C, this skincare treat helps my face stay firm against elements that reek havoc on my skin such as wearing makeup and exposure to the sun.

Step Three Daytime

With oily skin, I’m very selective when choosing a moisturizer, but I love the Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation. It is a light-weight cream and feels as if I have nothing on my face, which is perfect when layering products. I’ve even seen more consistency in my skin texture and complexion over time.

Step Three Evening

Sometimes my skin looks dull, especially in the fall and winter. When that occurs, I turn to the Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Treatment. The gel formula nourishes the delicate skin of my face and results in a luminosity that makes my skin look like it is glowing.

Step Four

We’ve heard about the skin surrounding the eye being the most sensitive skin on our face. That’s why I pay special attention to the area and avoid using heavy or harsh products. The Ole Henriksen Ultimate Lift Eye Gel keeps the delicate skin beneath my eyes soft. On the occasion when I’m experiencing dark circles and puffiness, it’s just the remedy I need.
