People always beg for my glowy skincare secrets – I swear by three Trader Joe’s buys that cost less than $12 each
A BEAUTY guru has revealed the secret to her youthful glow is a skincare routine that includes three affordable Trader Joe’s products.
She shared her full skincare regimen after being bombarded with questions about how she maintains her appearance.
Alyssa Rose (@beautyalyssarose) has garnered over 50,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares her favorite beauty buys.
“A few people have asked for my skincare routine so here it is,” she said.
“First up is Bio-Oil, it’s really good for acne scarring and uneven skin tone. I put it on with a cotton pad in my T-zone and undereye.
“Step two, hyaluronic moisture boost serum. I got this from Trader Joe’s for less than $10.
“I rub that all over my face.”
Bio-Oil has a 4.6-star rating on Amazon, where it costs around $22.
Alyssa revealed her choice of eye cream is pricey in comparison to the products mentioned as she applied a generous amount.
Ole Henriksen’s Banana Bright eye cream costs a whopping $44.
Each morning, she also uses the brand’s C-Rush Brightening Gel Creme for $52.
“For nighttime or after I’m out in the sun, I use Trader Joe’s Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer with aloe and green tea extract,” she said.
“Also less than $10 and I apply a generous amount of that all over my face.”
Alyssa revealed her favorite chapsticks are from Everone and Purol, which can be found in drugstores.
She finished by recommending Trader Joe’s blueberry and acai facial scrub.
“And then once a week I’ll use this in the shower, this is also like $12,” she said.
“Enjoy your natural glow.”
“NGL (not gonna lie) Trader Joe’s skincare is [fire],” she added.
The video racked up hundreds of likes after going viral and many viewers saved it to watch again.
Trader Joe’s Nourish Moisture Boost serum features in the brand’s Glow-up guide, where it’s recommended to apply to damp skin and then followed with moisturizer for best results.
The $8.99 serum contains hyaluronic acid, which researchers say can increase the moisture content in the skin.
According to Healthline, it may also aid with reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improving wound healing.
Trader Joe’s Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer also costs $8.99 and has been formulated with keeping skin hydrated in mind.
The product description says, “The water-based gel formula is packed with skin-soothing ingredients, like aloe leaf juice and green tea, birch leaf, & milk thistle extracts.
“It also contains the holy grail of modern moisturizing ingredients: sodium hyaluronate, or the salt form of hyaluronic acid.”
The ingredient is “prized for its ability to both ‘lock in’ skin’s natural moisture and add to it, without leaving an oily residue.”
Trader Joe’s blueberry and acai facial scrub has proven popular with many beauty enthusiasts.
The recommendation comes after another TikToker said her skin was as smooth as glass after using a scrub from the store.
