Top 10 Must-Have Beauty Products of 2024: Your Ultimate Guide to Glowing Skin

Many women (and men) are on a constant mission to get the perfect look for their skin. This is easier said than done. Nowadays, there are more products than ever that ‘claim’ to improve how the skin looks but, honestly, some of these are not as great as they claim. You can easily spend hundreds of dollars on products and see very little improvement in your skin. So, we figured we’d give you a little help. We’ll give you the ten best skin care products in 2024 to give you glowing skin.

1. Rose Quartz Face Roller

Right at the top of the list, we’ve got to put a Rose Quartz face roller. A decent face roller will help your skin absorb skincare products a lot better. It’ll also help to distribute the creams/oils/and serums properly. Use a Rose Quartz face roller, and those products will penetrate your skin deeper, helping you get closer to that ultimate shine.

2. Anti-Acne LED Face Mask

Ok. So, the face mask might look a little creepy when you’re wearing it. However, skincare is currently trending toward anti-acne LED face masks, so they’re here to stay. An anti-acne LED face mask uses blue and red lights to help tackle acne breakouts. It can deal with inflammation, limit flare-ups, and help get your skin looking nice and fresh. If acne has been a problem for you, this is a ‘must buy’.

3. Vitamin C Moisturizer

Everybody knows that Vitamin C is essential when it comes to skin care. Vitamin C helps to give your skin that youthful glow. We suggest that you find a decent Vitamin C moisturizer (Necessaire do a brilliant one). This will penetrate nice and deeply, providing the skin the resources it needs to get rejuvenated.

4. Allies of Skin Peptides & Antioxidants Advanced Firming Daily Treatment

This is a product that all the women’s health magazines are raving about. Sure, the name is a bit of a mouthful, and it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like some of the other top beauty product names out there. However, it is at least descriptive. This is a moisturizer/serum blend designed for daily use. It is loaded with antioxidants that can fight free radicals deep in your skin. Use this daily, and you’ll enjoy smoother skin (it is great for combatting fine lines), and your skin will end up with a little bit of a bounce too.

5. Snail Mucin Serum

2024 is the year of snail mucin serum. Yes. It’s exactly what it sounds like. You’ll be slathering snail mucus over your skin. However, don’t worry, it is not as bad as you think. Snail mucin (which normally comes mixed with a few other ingredients) helps to reduce wrinkles and the signs of age. It can also help the skin look, and feel, a little bit more youthful. Snail mucin is used daily, often alongside a good moisturizer.

6. Estee Lauder Double Wear Smooth & Blur Primer

We don’t think there’s a single good makeup technician out there not using this product right now. Your skin can’t look great unless you’ve got a brilliant foundation to build upon, and the Estee Lauder Double Wear Smooth & Blur Primer is that foundation. It helps to smooth out imperfections in the skin, while also providing a base that all the other makeup can be added without it slipping and sliding all over the place. This product is especially good if you’ve got oily skin.

7. Biossance Squalane + Probiotic Gel Moisturizer

It seems like all the best skincare products for giving you glowing skin have hefty names but, hey, naming doesn’t matter when the product works well, right? Biossance Squalane is perfect for those that suffer from redness in the skin. It is probably one of the most effective products on the market for that right now. The moisturizing qualities also mean that you can save money not needing to buy a separate moisturizer.

8. Liquid Exfoliant

We’ve got no brand recommendations for you here, as it is one of the ‘newer’ products on the market. Lots of major companies are having a go. Look for liquid exfoliant that has salicylic acid in it. It should also say 2% BHA somewhere. The exfoliant is perfect for an evening out your skin before you add the moisturizer into the mix. Salicylic acid can also combat inflammation, reduce redness, and even out some imperfections that are the result of age.

9. Garnier Micellar Hyaluronic Aloe Water

If you want smooth skin, you need a way to get rid of your makeup quickly at the end of the day. Traditional makeup wipes don’t quite cut it. So, we suggest a micellar hyaluronic aloe water, preferably the one from Garnier (it is what we use). It soothes the skin, while also ensuring that all the makeup is quickly removed, ensuring that when you wake up (or move into the next stage of the skincare routine), you’re not locking in anything that can ruin your look.

10. Cetaphil Skin Cleanser

Finally, we’ve got the Cetaphil Skin Cleanser. This product is the best for smoothing out blemishes in the skin. It isn’t even that expensive. Use this just before a good moisturizer, and you’ll be positively glowing!

Of course, this is just a small smattering of the skincare products available on the market in 2024. You’ll probably need a few more to round out your collection (a good moisturizer, sun protection lotion, etc.) but each and every product on this list is regularly used by us, and you’ll probably use it a lot too! Add these 10, rather affordable, products to your collection and you’ll be one step closer to the perfect look.
