People often ask me how I keep my skin so radiant and firm in my 30s. The secret? A mix of healthy lifestyle choices, clean and conscious eating habits, and a skincare routine I’ve perfected over the years. But just like the seasons change, so does my regimen. To combat fall and winter dryness, as a New Yorker who ironically hates the cold, I rely on moisture-rich products that keep my skin soft and hydrated. Lately, I’ve also been more intentional about where I spend my money, prioritizing clean, inclusive brands — especially Latina-owned beauty products that meet all my skincare needs.
Latinas are powerhouse consumers, driving significant growth in the beauty industry and making a major impact on the US economy. Last year, the industry experienced a 12% growth in Latina-owned brands, highlighting the need for more inclusive and WOC-owned beauty lines. From nourishing face oils to ultra-hydrating serums and moisturizers, these are my go-to products for a radiant, baby-soft complexion that will keep your skin thriving through the colder seasons.
