Happy October 1st! That’s a thing we do in the Norman family. My mother-in-law’s family started it, I’m pretty sure, and now every first day of the month, it’s a competition to say, “Happy ____ 1st!” first.
Anyway, not only is today the first day of a new month, it’s the first day of a new Beautycounter promotion. Starting today, if you purchase one of the six skincare collections Beautycounter has to offer, you will receive a free Overnight Resurfacing Peel which is a $63 value. And just to remind you how great this is, the peel has been called “magic in a bottle”, has 1,688 five-star reviews, evens skin tone, minimizes pores, reduces redness and sun spots, and much more. I finally got my hands on this product at the end of September and can’t wait to see my own results.
So, let me first explain what it means to purchase a collection. Beautycounter has developed six different skincare collections that each have a targeted skin type in mind. Each collection is made up of all of it’s products developed for that particular line. It is not just the basic products within the regimen, but rather all of the pieces to the skincare puzzle. For example: In the Countertime Collection you get everything from the regimen but you also get the eye cream.
But what if you don’t know which collection is for you? Beautycounter has actually thought of that, too. There’s a skincare quiz for you to take so that you can make sure you’re getting exactly what you and your skin needs.
Now let’s break down each collection so you know exactly what you’re getting and what it does.
Countertime Collection
Beautycounter’s newest collection is the Countertime Collection. It is the collection that’s designed to visibly firm, brighten, and plump skin by using the plant-derived Retinatural Complex of bakuchiol and Swiss Alpine rose. These ingredients make up the safest alternative to retinol that doesn’t sacrifice the results. In this collection you’ll get:
Countertime Lipid Defense Cleansing Oil: Inspired by Asian beauty rituals, this luxurious, lightweight cleansing oil gently yet effectively removes makeup and other impurities without stripping essential lipids from the skin.
Countertime Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence: Lightweight but deeply nourishing, this milky moisturizing essence delivers vital nutrients to the skin’s moisture barrier—instantly boosting hydration and radiance.
Countertime Tripeptide Radiance Serum: This transformative rejuvenating treatment visibly increases skin firmness and elasticity, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Countertime Antioxidant Soft Cream: This velvety revitalizing cream improves skin’s barrier function and boosts hydration, which helps protect it from daily environmental stressors. This will be your day cream.
Countertime Tetrapeptide Supreme Cream: Supremely rich and deeply hydrating, this cream supports elasticity and visibly firms while smoothing skin texture to minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles. This is your night cream.
Ultra Renewal Eye Cream: This high-performance eye cream revitalizes the eye area and reduces the appearance of under-eye shadows and crow’s feet for a smooth, firmed look.
Yes, this collection is a bit on the pricey side. However, I will say that most customers have reported that it’s lasting them about four months and even after all that time, they still are not needing to repurchase all of the products but only one or two. How fantastic is that?! I have recently purchased the eye cream and can honestly say that a little goes a long way. This one jar is going to last me quite a while.
Essential Nourishing Collection
I feel that this collection flies under the radar, but let me tell you that it is a fantastic collection. It is one of the first ones that I used, and if I weren’t using the Countercontrol collection, I’d still be using the Nourishing Cream Exfoliator. Paul even likes the Nourishing Cream Cleanser. And that Rosewater Mist smells divine and is so refreshing. In this collection you’ll find ingredients like coconut oil and aloe to keep your skin hydrated and conditioned. Here’s what you’ll get:
Nourishing Cream Cleanser: Soothes and nourishes skin as you wash away makeup and impurities, tones skin with witch hazel, and hydrates with coconut oil and aloe.
Nourishing Cream Exfoliator: Features non-abrasive jojoba beads to gently slough away dry, dull skin, sweep away impurities, and reveal smoother, more luminous-looking skin.
Nourishing Rosewater Mist: Tones and softens skin with organic rose essence, purified water, and moisturizing sodium hyaluronate.
Nourishing Eye Cream: Pampers the delicate skin around your eyes with aloe and organic coconut oil. Absorbs easily for an instant moisture boost.
Nourishing Day Cream: Contains a mix of organic coconut oil, safflower oil, and aloe to provide nourishing hydration, plus antioxidant-rich açai.
Nourishing Night Cream: Nourishes skin with organic coconut oil, hydrating aloe, and geranium and green tea, which protect against dryness.
Countermatch Collection
The Countermatch collection has a brilliant bio-mimic technology that allows each of this collections products to react to your skin’s specific needs. This collection will leave you feeling hydrated and works to prevent aging and boost vibrancy. I’ve used products from this collection and really enjoyed them. It’s sort of like a mood ring for your skin. It’s hard to explain, but it really does give your skin what it needs. Here’s what you’ll get:
Pure Calm Cleansing Milk: Featuring breakthrough Bio-Mimic Technology, this ultra-gentle cleanser removes makeup and impurities without surfactants that can strip away natural oils. Its conditioning formula respects skin’s balance, replenishing essential hydration so skin feels soft and nourished, never dry or tight.
Intense Moisture Serum: Delivers a concentrated boost of moisture for immediate and lasting hydration, while vitamins C (ascorbic acid) and E (tocopherol) provide antioxidant protection.
Eye Rescue Cream: Formulated for the delicate eye area, this nourishing cream awakens eyes by helping to reduce the appearance of shadows for brighter-looking eyes.
Adaptive Moisture Lotion: Helps skin adapt to the ever-changing aggressors of modern life by adjusting hydration and oxygenation levels throughout the day. This lightweight lotion hydrates skin throughout the day to provide up to 24 hours of hydration.
Recovery Sleeping Cream: With an advanced blend of hyaluronic acid, plum oil (Prunus Domestica Seed Extract), and tara gum (Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum), this rich cream creates a protective layer to shield skin from moisture loss, replenishing hydration and revitalizing skin while you sleep.
Countercontrol Collection
I’m a little biased about this one. It has been the collection of products that have made the biggest difference in my skin. When I started using Beautycounter this collection didn’t exist. When I heard they were creating and releasing a collection of products that were made with oily and acne prone skin like mine in mind, I was excited. I knew that this was what was missing in the lineup of collections, and I’m thrilled that they’ve brought it to us. I’m also thrilled that it actually works. It has made a huge difference in my pores and has significantly reduced the amount of blackheads I have. I love it all and highly recommend it. Here’s a breakdown of the products:
Clear Pore Cleanser: This daily exfoliating cleanser effectively removes oil, makeup, and other impurities without harsh surfactants that can strip skin of moisture.
Instant Matte Toner: This alcohol-free mattifying toner removes residual impurities, reduces excess oil, and minimizes the appearance of pores.
All Over Acne Treatment: This daily all over treatment helps clear blemishes and prevents future breakouts from forming.
SOS Acne Spot Treatment: This fast-acting formula with maximum strength salicylic acid penetrates pores to reduce blemishes and clear skin.
Matte Effect Gel Cream: With an innovative cream-to-gel formula, this non-greasy hydrator maintains healthy moisture levels while controlling oil for up to eight hours
Counterman Collection
We absolutely cannot leave out the guys. They need safer skincare, too, and good for Beautycounter for making that an option. This collection is not only for a man’s skin but also for facial hair. Here’s what you’ll get:
Daily Exfoliating Cleanser: Scrubs away dead skin cells, helps unclog pores, and calms skin, too.
Clarifying Toner Pads: Designed to quickly remove residual dirt and excess oil, help tighten pores, and improve the appearance of the skin.
Oil-Free Face Lotion: Lightweight and non-greasy, this daily moisturizer absorbs quickly and helps boosts hydration.
Smoothing Shave Cream: A conditioning cream that softens facial hair for a close, comfortable shave.
Cooling Aftershave Tonic: Helps calm post-shave discomfort and boosts skin resiliency.
Conditioning Beard Oil: A lightweight oil created to nourish facial hair and help relieve dry skin.
Energizing Charcoal Body Wash: Made without harsh sulfates that strip away moisture, it helps detoxify skin and wash away impurities.
Charcoal Body Bar: An invigorating body bar that produces a creamy lather to wash away impurities.
Rejuvenating Collection
Beautycounter’s original anti-aging collection. Once these are gone, they’re gone. They are in a phase-out period now that Countertime has come onto the scene. I know lots of you who are my clients are users of this line, and I would recommend if you aren’t ready for a change to Countertime, then you should scoop this up now! Here’s what you get:
Rejuvenating Face Cleanser: Features fruit and berry seed oils that gently-yet-thoroughly cleanse and moisturize skin, purifying cleansing agents that help remove makeup and clear pores, and antioxidant-rich plant extracts—like those from green tea—to help soothe and calm skin for an overall fresh, comforted feeling.
Rejuvenating Toner Pads: These purifying and refining toner pads feature mixed fruit acid complex and vitamin C that provide antioxidants and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as lentil seed extract to tighten and refine the appearance of pores. Algae extract brightens and jambu extract gives skin a firmer, more youthful look. Swipe them on after cleansing to remove any residual makeup and impurities and prep skin for the next steps of your regimen.
Rejuvenating Radiance Serum: Helps even the look of skin tone, improve hydration, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Lightweight and easily absorbed, the formula layers effortlessly and invisibly under moisturizer.
Rejuvenating Day Cream: Softens and soothes skin while boosting elasticity with a combination of omega-rich natural oils and vitamin-rich fruit extracts.
Rejuvenating Night Cream: Locks in moisture as you sleep for skin that looks and feels smoother, firmer, and more hydrated by morning.
Rejuvenating Eye Cream: Soothes and enlivens under-eyes with skin-conditioning wild algae and caffeine, while reducing puffiness and diminishing the appearance of fine lines.
Whew, that was a lot of info, but I also wanted you to have it all in one place without clicking around the website. I know that can get tedious. I do encourage you to take the skincare quiz if you’re unsure which collection is right for you. And don’t forget that really awesome gift of the Overnight Resurfacing Peel. Also, I’d like to reiterate that these products truly do last a long time. You will not need to repurchase every single month. Yes, the initial purchase is an investment, but skincare is where you should be spending your hard earned dollars anyway.
I hope you get to take advantage of this very generous offer from Beautycounter and invest in yourself by choosing #betterbeauty. Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. You can comment here, email me, or comment on my social media platforms. I will be more than happy to help you!
Happy October 1st! Have a great week.
