So, anyone that knows me knows that I am obsessed with skincare. I love trying new products, seeing what works and what does not, and generally just discovering what works best for our biggest organ: our skin! Now while I do like to experiment, there is one brand that is always in my rotation, and that is ARCONA.
I discovered ARCONA quite a while ago. They first appeared on my radar when I had read an article that my idol, Tori Amos, had listed their Eye Dew as a desert island product. At the time, ARCONA’s products were not sold here in San Antonio. I don’t know about you, but I like to touch and feel things in person before purchasing, for the most part. So, I was not going to order on their website or off Nordstrom’s online store. Well, a year after discovering them, Nordstrom La Cantera here in San Antonio started carrying their products!
Now, about ARCONA. First off, ARCONA products contain no: petrochemicals, binders or fillers, chemical stabilizers, parabens, sodium lauryl sulphates, perfumes, dyes, or any other toxic ingredients. This is something I usually look for in products myself. They are known for their luxury, high quality formulas, with a belief that whatever goes onto your skin, goes into your body. Their products are pure and powerful.
To quote from their website:
We infuse ARCONA products with enzymatic-based ingredients such as high concentrations of antioxidants, plant lipids and extracts, sea vegetables, essential oils, vitamins and minerals. Active ingredients are processed and our products are manufactured according to scientifically tested, state-of-the-art, chirally correct technology, to produce products that link up effectively with skin cell receptors for better absorption and more visible results.
The first product I tried was the Raspberry Clarifying Bar. From the berry scent, to how efficiently it cleansed, I was hooked!! From there I just started trying new things here and there. I will say I have pretty much used their entire line, and have been a devotee for about 7 years now! Yes, s-e-v-e-n!!
If I was to recommend 4 products, I would say any of their cleansers (like the Toner Tea bar or Raspberry Clarifying Bar), the Hydrating Serum is a recent discovery and it’s been life changing, or the Eye Dew Plus. The Eye Dew Plus is great at hydrating and protecting the eye, while also double as a really great lip balm! Now my top product is their Raspberry Resurfacing Peel. That product is my skin crack! It truly transforms your skin, all in your own bathroom!
I cannot rave enough about the ARCONA, I am always recommending. I know it has done wonders for my own skin. I know that anybody can find something out of their product lineup to use and become addicted to as well.
