We love products that can serve us in more ways than their intended function. Multiple functions for the price of one? You just can’t beat it. We have found three great hacks using Aloette products that you have to try as soon as possible! 

Correction Code +  Be Picture Perfect Foundation For A DIY CC Cream: 

Some days your skin needs a break from the routine or maybe you just don’t want a full coverage look. That doesn’t mean you should have to spend the extra money on a different foundation product when you’ve already found what you love. We have the perfect solution with a combination that you already have on your counter: our Be Picture Foundation and our Correction Code Daytime Moisturizer. Correction Code works to firm the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and moisturize the skin throughout the day. It also contains SPF 25 for the daily protection from harmful UV rays that you should give your skin every day. Mix a small pump of your shade of Be Picture Perfect Foundation into your moisturizer in the morning and work it into your face as you normally would. 

Restorative Enzyme Peel Doubles As An Exfoliating Foot Treatment 

Who doesn’t love a great pedicure? With everything going on in the world, visiting the nail salon or the spa might not be an option for you or maybe you just want to save money. Either way, we found the perfect hack to add into an at home pedicure treatment. Our Restorative Enzyme Peel is a fan-favorite for removing dead skin from the face, so we put it to the test on our feet as well. Of course, it was no surprise that it left our feet feeling brand new! After you try this, you’ll be shocked you hadn’t thought of it before! 

Lush + Luxe As An Eyebrow Gel 

The perfect way to complement great lashes is with great brows. You already know and love this serum for the boost it brings to your eyelashes, but have you tried applying it to your eyebrows as well? Lush + Luxe is formulated with nutrient rich ingredients that strengthen fine hairs just like your lashes and brows. Add this quick step into your routine and you’ll be amazed!

Create an Effortless Beauty Look with the No Makeup, Makeup Routine

Posted on by Kaitlyn Cook
Share this:

Bare it all this fall with a radiant-looking glow! The no makeup, makeup look is a highly sought-after beauty routine that helps define features and even the appearance of skin… without looking like you tried. While the ‘less is more’ makeup approach can take both time and effort, the end result is well worth your patience. And, if you’re feeling a little lost on where to begin or which makeup or skin care product to use, Aloette has you covered with this easy step-by step beauty guide:

Skin First

A no makeup, makeup look starts with a smooth canvas. Prep your complexion with the Aloepure Maximum Moisture Complex daily moisturizer to help deeply hydrate the skin and achieve a glowy-looking base. To help even the look of imperfections and discoloration, apply the 2-in-1 Flawless HP Prime and Perfect Primer to the entire face to illuminate the look skin.

Define the Eyes

Make eyes pop with Aloette Beauty. To add subtle dimension, apply a thin line of the Aloette Eye Definer Pencil to the upper lash line—extend eyeliner with a subtle wing to help enhance the shape of eyes. Use the smudge tool at the end of the eyeliner pencil to gently diffuse the eye color for a soft-focus makeup look. Complete the eye look with a swipe of the Top Shelf Volume + Curl Mascara for bold lashes with a long-wear curl.

 

Rosy Cheeks

Fake the flush with a touch of rosy cheeks. Apply a small amount of Face Paint Lip and Cheek Tint to the apple of the cheeks, blending upwards and outwards. This hybrid lip and cheek product features a formula that is infused with Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E and essential oils to help plump the look of skin and hydrate the complexion while adding a subtle pop of color.

Gloss the Lips

Tie together the no makeup, makeup look with a glossy pout. Enhanced with vitamins, antioxidants and hydrating oils, Aloette Liquid Lip Shine is a lip gloss that will add a swipe of luscious color to the lips for a high-shine finish that is soft and subtle.

4 Winter Skincare Changes We Recommend You Make, Now!

Posted on by Kaitlyn Cook

Oh, it’s almost time to walk in a winter wonderland! As you relish in the joy of lighting candles and hanging wreaths, remember that the cold weather is bound to blow in a little more than holiday cheer. Chilly temps definitely know how to shake things up for our complexion, and with dryness and chapped lips quickly making their yearly appearance, it’s time to show your skin who is in control. Help keep skin jolly and hydrated all season long with Aloette’s tips and tricks for your winter skincare routine.

Get Rich

As winter rolls in, swap out your lightweight moisturizer for a rich and thick formula. With lower moisture levels and cooler air, skin can quickly become dry and flakey in the winter months. Help balance out a drier complexion with an extra boost of hydration that helps lock in moisture using an overnight treatment. Overnight skin care products are a fuss-free way to quench the skin with nourishing ingredients while you sleep, without having to pile on a thick moisturizer during the day.

Try: Beauty Sleep Overnight Cooling Treatment

Soothe and help replenish skin overnight with this cooling treatment. Beauty Sleep is infused with Hyaluronic Acid and Squalene to help nourish skin with vital moisture while helping to retain hydration for an overall softer and firmer-looking complexion.

Exfoliate. Exfoliate. Exfoliate

Cold air outside and dry heat indoors can be an unfortunate combination for your complexion. Dead skin cells tend to pile up quicker in the winter weather, making exfoliation a vital step in your winter skin care routine. Depending on your skin type, you should use an exfoliant 2-3 times a week to help slough away dry skin and encourage healthy skin renewal.

Try: City Detox Environmental Defense Powder Cleanser

This innovative powder-to-lather cleanser combines exfoliating papaya enzyme with soothing Aloe Vera to help gently lift away dry skin and impurities. Use this cleanser a few times a week to help protect skin from environmental stressors and reveal a brighter, smoother-looking complexion—without stripping the skin of its natural oils.

Don’t Forget About the Body

With all the attention we give to our face, the body can feel a little neglected. Extend TLC to your arms, legs and hands with skincare that was made to go beyond your complexion. During the winter months, your body craves vitamins and nutrients. Help revitalize the look of skin and replenish hydration from head to toe with a body cleanser and moisturizer that will wrap your body in a velvety smooth texture.

Try: Re/Charge Clarifying Body Cleanser and Re/Vive Moisture Binding Body Lotion

This body power couple is a part of Aloette’s Re/New Body Collection! Gently wash away impurities while helping to hydrate and revitalize the look of your skin with the Re/Charge Clarifying Body Cleanser. Next, lather your body with the Moisture Binding Body Lotion to help lock in long-lasting moisture using farm to jar™ ingredients, like Aloe Vera and Ginger Root Extract.

Brighten Up

C the light—even with a chill in the air—by incorporating a Vitamin C serum into your winter skincare routine. It’s true that Vitamin C is important year-round, but the cold winter blues make this brightening ingredient a must-have for lackluster skin. Don’t let the cool air dull your glow this holiday season. Reach for a Vitamin C serum to help even the look of skin tone and texture while helping to restore radiance to the complexion.

Try: C the Light Vitamin C Serum

Discover a complexion that is both merry and bright with the Aloette C the Light Vitamin C Serum. Infused with five forms of Vitamin C—including orange peel, lemon peel, citrus essential oils, mandarin orange and citric acid—this multi-tasking serum is proven to help skin appear smoother and more even-toned.

Give Your Sensitive Skin the Special Treatment It Deserves

Posted on by Kaitlyn Cook
Share this:

All our products are already formulated with the best and cleanest ingredients for every skin type. However, we know that having sensitive skin means that you must be even more cautious about the ingredients in your skincare. We know that it can be exhausting trying to sort through products to find the very best. We made a comprehensive list of our products that are the very best for sensitive skin so that you don’t have to!

Cleanser: Gentle Foaming Cleanser ‘

This cleanser was created with every skin type in mind! Our Gentle Foaming Cleanser can be used day and night to gently remove impurities without damaging your skin’s natural moisture balance. It, of course, contains our key ingredient Aloe Vera to hydrate and relieve dry and irritated skin. It is also packed with Vitamin A, C, & E to renew the skin and protect it from daily environmental stressors while Green Tea Extracts provide an extra boost of antioxidants. After using this cleanser, you will find that it cleans the skin without stripping it or leaving behind any redness like other harsh cleansers can do. This truly is a staple product for sensitive skin.

Toner: Sensitive Skin Toner 

Let’s dive into the incredibly soothing and hydrating ingredients that this toner is packed with, cucumber, chamomile, and Aloe Vera. Cucumber is like Aloe Vera in that it is incredibly hydrating and has a cooling effect on the skin. It is also filled with antioxidants that your skin just cannot get enough of. After cleansing, you can use this toner to provide extra nourishment while also gently removing any excess oils, pore clogging impurities, or irritants.

Mask: Beauty Parfait 

A common issue that those with sensitive skin can run into is dryness and inflammation. Sometimes, we suggest one to two times a week, you need to show your skin some extra love and use a face mask. Our Beauty Parfait is a blend of natural yogurt and papaya extracts that leave the skin looking calm, hydrated, and firm. Papaya Extracts also serve as a natural exfoliant to brighten the skin and remove dead cells. This mask is like a superfood smoothie for your skin, you’ll be glowing in no time! 

Moisturizers:  Nutri-Moisture Lotion   

Nutri-Moisture Lotion is the perfect complement to the Gentle Foaming Cleanser. It contains the same nutrient rich, calming ingredients like Aloe Vera, Green Tea Extract, and Vitamin A, C, & E. No matter what your skincare routine is, you need to have a moisturizer and we promise this is the perfect one! Always remember, hydrated skin is happy skin!

Spot Treatment: Stay Pure Acne Treatment Lotion

Pesky zits and small breakouts get the best of us all! Just because you have sensitive skin doesn’t mean that you should have to sacrifice your spot treatment. This treatment includes the typical treatment ingredient of skin-clarifying Salicylic Acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its powerful acne-fighting effects, but it also contains Aloe Vera to help soothing. Salicylic Acid when overused can sometimes cause irritation to the skin. While this formula is created to benefit even the most sensitive of skin, we recommend only applying to those pesky blemishes one to two times a day.

Get shopping and start treating that sensitive skin, ASAP!

Here at Aloette, we love getting to hear feedback on what products you’re loving and buying. It’s important to know that the team behind the products you shop also love them just as much as you do. We decided it was time to share some of our very favorites:

Stay Pure Acne Treatment Lotion

 

“My FAVORITE product by far is the Stay Pure Acne Treatment Lotion! This acne treatment works better than anything I have ever tried on pesky zits and blemishes, and it is also non-drying thanks to the Aloe Vera! Zits disappear overnight without any flaking or redness. I keep one in my makeup bag at all times!”

Stick Shift

“This is my go-to facial exfoliator that I use several times a week. I love how the formula lathers on wet skin. There are small physical exfoliators (diatomaceous earth) that polish effectively and never feel abrasive or irritating. My skin texture is noticeably smoother after every use. It’s also great for travel or for the gym!”

Ageless Science System

“My current favorite is the Ageless Science System. I keep both pieces in my skincare fridge and they are so cooling and soothing plus super hydrating without feeling heavy. I’ve really noticed a difference in the skin around my eyes and on my cheekbones. It appears a lot firmer and smoother after just a few weeks. I love to use this product with my jade roller as well.”

A-List Lash Mascara

 

“One of my favorite products that I am using a lot right now is the A-List Lash Mascara! It is such a great formula and it makes my lashes look amazing. I love that it doesn’t go on clumpy or stick together on my lashes. I also notice that my eyelashes look healthier when I am regularly using A-List as opposed to other mascaras that I own. It’s quickly become one of my favorite mascaras that I’ve ever tried. It is a must have!”

Beat Oily Skin With Aloette

Posted on by Bianca Bailey
Share this:

An oily skin type can be one of the most difficult to work with when it comes to skincare routines. It’s important to treat your skin with extra love and use products that keep pores from clogging so that you can avoid pesky breakouts. These are just three of our holy grail products to help you keep oily skin at bay.

 

Toner: Oil Control Toner

Our key ingredients in this toner are Aloe Vera, Rosemary Extract, and Witch Hazel. The Aloe and Rosemary add a special level of soothing and nourishing antioxidants. For some skin types Witch Hazel can be an ingredient to avoid. However, for oily and breakout prone skin types it can be a game changer. Witch Hazel is a natural astringent that has been used for decades to fight against excessive oil production and keep skin hydrated while doing so.

Moisturizer: Aloeclear Get Hydrated Oil-Free Moisturizer 

Moisturizers can be extra tricky when it comes to oily skin. Keeping skin hydrated is still just as important, but you might feel like it’s a step that makes your skin even more oily. This moisturizer was formulated to be oil-free, specifically for acne prone and oily skin. Get Hydrated moisturizer soothes the skin and helps reduce the appearance of redness while diminishing breakthrough shine from excess oil. A blend of Red Clover Extract and Niacinamide help improve skin barrier function and reduce the appearance of shine and pores. Your skin will thank you later! 

Spot Treatment: Made Matte Anti-Shine Stick: 

This is a must-have product for dealing with oily skin on the go. Made Matte is a versatile blotting stick that instantly mattifies and perfects without over drying skin, leaving you with a comfortable shine free look. You can use it as a mattifying primer before you apply your makeup or for on-the-go touch-ups as you start to get oily throughout the day. Breakthrough shine and excess oil doesn’t stand a chance against this formula!

Ingredient Highlight: Aloe Vera

Posted on by Bianca Bailey
Share this:

Aloette has always been committed to creating skincare and makeup products that are best for you and the environment. We prioritize overall skincare by formulating our products with nourishing botanical ingredients. Our very favorite and our most prominent ingredient is, of course, Aloe Vera. Today we are discussing several common questions about our leading ingredient. 

What is it? 

Aloe Vera is a succulent that is often described as a “wonder plant” because of its many calming properties and antioxidant qualities. It is most commonly known for its ability to aid in the healing of burns and overall soothing power. For many years though, Aloe Vera has been used for various other medicinal purposes and now it is also found in skincare and cosmetics. 

Why is it good for my skin? 

We truly believe in the many benefits of Aloe Vera on the skin and we think that it is important that you know them too!

  • It is incredibly calming and soothing which makes it a perfect ingredient for all skin types, but especially sensitive skin.
  • Because the Aloe Vera plant contains mostly water, it is very hydrating. Hydrated skin is healthy skin!
  • Aloe Vera is great for aiding in the healing process of breakouts. Who doesn’t want to get rid of pesky blemishes and dark spots?

What is so special about Aloe Vera in Aloette? 

We are proud to curate our own Aloeganic® Aloe Vera to deliver superior product performance and potency. Aloeganic® is a super high-grade encapsulated Aloe Vera exclusive to Aloette that provides the same incredible skin benefits previously discussed in a unique delivery system. Due to the encapsulation and delivery of the material to the skin, Aloeganic® is three to ten times more effective than conventional Aloe Vera. Did we mention that it is also certified organic and paraben free?

If you don’t believe us yet, try it for yourself. Shop our skincare collections to find the perfect way to utilize Aloe.

Beginners Guide to Skincare: What Order Should I Apply My Products?

Posted on by Bianca Bailey
Share this:

Trying to find the right products for your skin can be a daunting task but what do you do once you have them? How do you know the right order to apply them in so that they work properly? It is important to take skincare one step at a time (literally.) We’re here to help you figure out where to start, beginning with a simple routine that you can follow in the morning or evening. 

                                                                                                                                                             

1. Makeup Removing and Cleansing: This is a step you absolutely can’t skip. You can’t apply your other products without a clean surface to allow them to absorb. We recommend double cleansing and removing your makeup with a cleansing oil or a makeup remover. Next, you can follow with your face wash of choice. 

2. Toner: Toners are often overlooked as an unnecessary step in skincare, but they can truly kick your routine up a notch. After your face is cleansed, you should apply your toner. Think of a toner as a primer to help absorb the rest of your skincare steps. They can also additionally help to remove any impurities or excess oils that your cleansing didn’t catch. 

3. Eye Cream: Many people use eye cream as their final step but it can actually be more effective if you apply it before your moisturizers. A good rule to remember is to apply your products from thinnest to thickest texture. When you apply your eye cream or eye serum last, it has a better chance at really absorbing into your skin since a layer of heavy creams can tend to keep lighter substances from making their way through. 

4. Serums and Treatments: Serums are such an important part of your skincare process and once you find the right one for your skin it can really make a difference. Again, following the rule of texture, apply your serums and treatments before you apply your moisturizing cream. 

5. Moisturizers: Finally, the last step is to apply your moisturizer. Whether it be AM or PM, moisturizing is key! Aside from hydrating the skin, moisturizer helps to seal in all of  your products that you have already applied and allows them to be as effective as possible.
