The five best Beautycounter products for aging skin and fine lines

September 15, 2020 By Ashley 2 Comments

We’re talking about the best Beautycounter products for aging skin and fine lines today. Because you know, we’re all just trying to take care of our skin to feel good and look good. In fact, I wish I had placed more importance on caring for my skin before I did. For a very long time, I used cheap drug-store lotions and cleansers that not only didn’t do my skin any favors, but were also full of toxins that were being absorbed into my body. Ick.

Right around the time I was fixing my hormones and trying to get pregnant, I finally began to understand the importance of finding cleaner products. I started out using coconut oil for just about everything, and then realized I needed to find some more active products for my skin’s needs, especially after I had Brady and my postpartum skin was sad, dry, dull, aging and worn out. Enter Beautycounter!

I’ve now been using Beautycounter skincare and makeup exclusively for two years. It’s amazing. The products are nontoxic, ethically sourced, high-performing and super safe, which is not the case for a lot of popular skincare lines out there.

And if you’ve never tried the brand before and are ready to start, I’d love to help you. Here are a few ways to get going:

  • Feel free to reach out to me via email to ask questions.
  • You can fill out my skincare survey, and I’ll get back to you with recommendations.
  • You can sign up for my Beautycounter email list to learn more and hear about deals.
  • And you can also use the promo code CHANGEBEAUTY10 when you check out for 10 percent off your very first order, as long you register with your email address when you check out.

Now, on to the products: All of these links below lead directly to a product page where you can shop, and they are attributed to me. If you check-out and choose me as your consultant, I’ll follow up with you, make sure your products work well, help you with anything you need, and you’ll officially be one of my clients. I truly appreciate your support!

The five best Beautycounter products for aging skin and fine lines

The five best Beautycounter products for aging skin and fine lines by A Lady Goes West

#1 Overnight Resurfacing Peel

Use: Every other night, after cleansing and before moisturizing.

This peel is probably the number-one product that I recommend to people from Beautycounter to try because it has so many powerful benefits. First of all, it reduces pore size, smooths the texture of skin, and of course, works on fine lines too. It’s an exfoliator, as well as a resurfacer.

This peel can be used every other night, and it gives a nice tingle when you apply it. To use it: You wash your face, dry your face, apply the peel, wait for five minutes, then put on a moisturizer and go to sleep. In the morning, you have a fresh, smooth glow and improved skin. It’s like magic.

If you want to try anything from Beautycounter (and you don’t have super-sensitive skin), I’d go with this peel. It also works on acne scars, by the way.

#2 Countertime Tripeptide Radiance Serum

Use: Every morning and night, after cleansing and before moisturizing.

This serum has a bunch of active ingredients, including Beautycounter’s original plant-based alternative to retinol. With only one pump in the morning and one pump at night after cleansing and before moisturizing, this little serum has a lot of bang for the buck. It firms skin to make it seem tighter, and it reduces fine lines.

Serums like this go deep into the skin to work. You can barely tell after you’ve applied it, but after a few days and weeks of regular use, you’ll notice a major improvement. 

I actually recommend the entire Countertime line for a full skincare routine to help with fine lines, but this serum is the real hero of the bunch.

3. All Bright Vitamin C Serum

Use: Every other day in the morning, after cleansing and before moisturizing.

This vitamin C serum is the newest product on the list. And it has become one of the most popular products that we have.

The problem with aging skin is that it’s often dull and drab, but the All Bright Vitamin C Serum gets rid of all the drabness and replaces it with glow.

This serum is for daytime use only, and it smells so good. It has my favorite smell of all our products, and much of that comes from the turmeric. It’s got two different kinds of vitamin C that work deep into the skin, but it also instantly gives you a little glow when you apply it. You can also use this product to remove dark spots and skin discolorations that happen with aging.

This serum is good to use every other day under your moisturizer and makeup. It’s the best.

Find the All Bright Vitamin C Serum here.

#4 No. 2 Plumping Facial Oil

Use: Mix a drop in with moisturizer, or apply as a moisturizer both day and night.

This plumping facial oil is so good, and you can put it all over your face, neck, chest and even in your hair if you want. I know many of us are scared to put oil on our faces (especially if you are oily), but putting this type of oil on your face is super hydrating, and it can regulate your oiliness as well.

The key to improving fine lines and improving aging skin is hydration, and this particular oil provides a ton of moisture. It also fills in lines and helps with skin elasticity. I love the Beautycounter oils and use them all the time. 

Find the No. 2 Plumping Facial Oil here.

#5 Countertime Antioxidant Soft Cream

Use: Every day, after cleansing and serum, before makeup.

This moisturizer is the daytime lotion from the Countertime line. Even though it’s designed for use during the day, you can also use it at night. This lotion has antioxidant protection, which means it is helping to shield your skin from environmental stressors, which can cause aging.

The soft cream is also quite hydrating, and it makes your skin feel well taken care of, whether you are putting makeup on over it or not. To apply it to your skin, put a pump or two onto your fingertips and massage it in upward strokes on your face, neck and chest. Big fan.

And those are my top five!

Side note: The health of your skin isn’t all about the products you use. Sleep, hydration, eating veggies full of micronutrients and protecting your skin from the sun all matter as well. I wrote a whole post about improving your skin with lifestyle, so check that out here if you need additional help.

Thanks for reading, my friends. I’m wishing you a great day and great skin! 🙂

    Hi Ashley!
    I’m definitely into a non-toxic lifestyle and using non-toxic products whenever I can…including the products I use on my skin. As a mom now with a little one toddling around and touching EVERYTHING, including my skin, it’s more important to me now than ever! The overnight resurfacing peel sounds amazing! As I get older, i’m definitely trying to learn more about my skin and am focusing on protecting it. There’s a children’s book called Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers that I recently read to my son and there’s a page that teaches the little ones to care for their bodies, it says “Look after it, as most bits don’t grow back.” My mom has kept her youthful look over the years, so here’s to hoping! But, if those genes don’t pass along to me, at least i’m doing my part now to help protect the skin i’m in!

      Hi lady! I love the sound of that Oliver Jeffers book — what a good thing to share with kids at a young age. Because it truly applies to us too. And props to you for knowing the importance of using nontoxic products on your skin too. Happy Tuesday, friend!

Exactly twelve years ago today, I spotted Dave acr Exactly twelve years ago today, I spotted Dave across the bar in Orlando and decided to chat him up. And really, the rest is history, and boy am I glad I made that decision that day. We celebrated today by retrieving our cars that finally made it across the country and returning our rental car. Here’s to making the first move, because sometimes it totally pays off! ❤️
Hi, I'm Ashley Pitt, formerly Ashley Pinder, or AP Hi, I'm Ashley Pitt, formerly Ashley Pinder, or APin or APinder, as my friends used to call me. It's been a long time since I introduced myself here on IG. And even though most of you know a lot about me, some of you don't. So here's a quick download (paired with a sequence of photos that took place yesterday):

-I was born and raised in Florida, I spent the last eight years in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, and I just moved with my little family to Charlotte, North Carolina one week ago.
-I've been a fitness instructor for 11 years, and I started out teaching Les Mills BODYPUMP as a side hobby while I held down a job at a public relations agency in Orlando. By the way, I never imagined I'd leave the corporate world behind, but I'm so glad I did. And now I work for myself with fitness, blogging and Beautycounter as my full-time gigs, in addition to momming, of course.
-I haven't taught an in-person fitness class in 10 months, but I teach virtual classes every week, and I absolutely love it. Send me a DM if you want to work out with me!
-Yes, I'm a mom. But I had a hard time getting pregnant while struggling with hypothalamic amenorrhea. With a few lifestyle changes, I was able to recover, and because of that experience, I've adopted a "no extremes" motto when it comes to food and exercise. Now I have one 3-year-old curly-haired son named Brady, and I have a small fluffy dog named Rudy, and they are the cutest.
-I started my blog, A Lady Goes West, more than 8 years ago, and I write new blog posts every Tuesday and Friday. If you've never read it yet, I'd love to have you come on over.
-Here on my IG profile, you can expect some real talk about wellness, mom life, moving to Charlotte, fitness and all of that good stuff. I don't track macros, I don't create fancy recipes, and I don't do anything D-I-Y, but I still hope to connect with you and add some positive value to your feed. Thanks for being here!
Greetings from Charlotte, North Carolina! We’re Greetings from Charlotte, North Carolina! We’re just finishing up day four of our moving-back-east adventure, and so far so good. Although the planner in me does look forward to some more certainty, we’re enjoying the fun of this transitional time as we look for a house and find our way in a new city. It definitely feels like we are just temporary visitors right now, which is a feeling I felt when we first landed in San Francisco. But that’s just part of the beauty of moving. And by the way, you’ll see me repeating clothes for a bit until our stuff makes its cross-country arrival, so let me introduce you to this outfit:
-Jacket is @fabletics
-Scarf is @ragandbone
-Leggings are @caliabycarrie
-Shoes are @drschollsshoes
-Shades are @vincecamuto
-Brady’s wearing all @oldnavy with some @hunterboots.
Here’s to starting our first full week in the Queen City! Have a good one, friends.
Peace out, California. This lady who went west is Peace out, California. This lady who went west is officially heading back east. Today, we closed on the sale of our home, the movers drove off with our stuff, and we ended an 8-year-and-3-month adventure in the San Francisco Bay Area. What a ride it has been, full of amazing moments, great memories, tough situations, so much learning and even more growing into who we are today. We’re heading to North Carolina with clear eyes and full hearts — so you know what that means.
.
By the way, I wrote a post about my best memories from the last eight years, which is on A Lady Goes West right now, if you want to check it out! See you soon from the Eastern time zone!
So many things were tough for us in 2020, but boy So many things were tough for us in 2020, but boy am I glad we went through it all together. The highlight of the year was - by far - time spent with my little family. And we’re looking ahead to the big changes we have in store, with one-way tickets booked out of California next week. Happy New Year, friends! Here’s to change in 2021! 🎉🥂😍
Hands up in the air if you’re ready for a new ye Hands up in the air if you’re ready for a new year? While we know things don’t drastically change just because the date says 2021 instead of 2020, there is some power in possessing a more positive mindset and having your eyes wide open for more good ahead so you can accept it as it comes. Let’s be honest: This year has had some major ups and downs, and I’m definitely ready to embrace change, but I also know that change takes time and I’ve got to keep pushing for it, even if it doesn’t happen instantly.

Speaking of 2020, today I published the final post of the year on A Lady Goes West with a raw look at a year in review both personal and professional, so head on over if you’re interested in that.

And finally, this detailed-back bra is from @caliabycarrie and I’m loving it. It’s the Made to Move Strappy Back, and I have it in a ton of colors. #caliabycarrie #ad
