It is our belief that a good skincare regimen will help us achieve and keep our most healthy, glowing complexion. But as we age, it just so happens that our skin doesn’t always cooperate like we’d prefer. So while we treat the dark spots, freckles and redness, we are happy to use products that help us fake perfect skin. With Redpoint Noc-Out Cover-Up Compact— a trio of different colored concealers that each work in its own way to cover up redness, eliminate the appearance of dark spots and freckles, or help disguise the look of dark circles around the eyes— we can give our skin the fabulous, flawless finish we desire. Use it alone on bare skin or after applying your foundation. $38, redpointbeauty.com

 

Wearing long-wearing makeup or waterproof mascara can be a chore to take off at the end of the day. We want to make sure to get it all off, and we certainly don’t want to wake up with raccoon eyes the next morning. Then there are occasions that we are just too tired to go through the steps to remove our makeup at all. But we know better, so we turn to Estee Lauder’s Take It Away Cleanser. This amazing water-based, creme-gel wonder removes all of our makeup— and we mean all of it— from our face. Our skin gets clean in one step, and is left feeling soft and fresh. We love it so much we find ourselves even using it to remove our regular makeup as well. Suitable for all skin types. $22, dillards.com

Ahava Purifying Mud Mask allows us to give ourselves a skin-pampering treatment at home without spending a ton of money.

It also doubles as a body mask if you want to give yourself an inexpensive body treatment: Slather this on after exfoliating, let it sit and rinse when almost dry (you will need to enlist the help of a friend to apply to your back). Whether you use this on your face or on your body, you’ll be thrilled with how your skin looks— and your wallet will be too. Also available for normal to dry skin. $30, spalook.com
