Everyone knows that skincare can be tricky, no matter what you're born with—too rich, and it'll clog your pores; too lightweight, and your skin can feel dry and under-nourished. So women, when we find the routine that just hits right—that not-too-much-not-too-little fit that makes everything click—we have the urge to share it. Ladies helping ladies, amirite?

I'm here to do just that.

After years of buying ultra-expensive, designer-brand skincare that worked(ish) but never felt like my perfect match, I have discovered the anti-aging, healthy-and-youthful-looking-skin-inducing, yummy-smelling products of my dreams—all from ELEMIS. And to make it even sweeter, (relatively) reasonable pricing means it doesn't hurt every time I need a refill.

At an eyebrow appointment the other day, I had not one but two women ask me how I kept my skin so "buttery soft." The gospel of women I’ve never met who have no need to compliment me but chose to do so anyway has spoken, and I'm here for it.

Most of the products I've found are from the pro-collagen line, including a serum each morning to prep the skin and help minimize fine lines; an eye cream to care for the delicate under-eye skin; and a medium-weight moisturizer that has SPF built right in, because this is critical as we inch onward into adulthood.

At night, the pro-collagen-fest continues with the gentlest and least abrasive face wash I have used in my memory (tip: Apply it to dry skin, then wash it off with a wet washcloth or by adding water to create suds and rinsing). Next is another eye cream that feels as powerful as a serum, and it all culminates with an overnight moisturizer that more than fulfills its promise to act as a "midnight facial."

But I didn't, of course, dive in all at once. I started with the cleanser and slowly added more and more things ELEMIS into my routines—so I can say with assuredness that, yes, they work great on their own—and they work even better when applied together.

TL;DR: Buy ELEMIS from Amazon, get it with ultra-fast shipping, and prepare to look great, feel even better, and have strangers remind you of it constantly. Get it, gang.
