Black Friday Wishlist: Care to Beauty Team Edition!
From multipurpose moisturizers and soothing Korean ampoules to tried-and-tested lipsticks and iconic sunscreens, our team is looking to invest in all sorts of intriguing skincare and beauty products this Black Friday.
Babé Super Fluid Sunscreen SPF50
The ultra-lightweight sunscreen
Babé Super Fluid Sunscreen SPF50
As a pharmacy technician who’s also Head of Content here at Care to Beauty, Ana has tried everything the skincare world has to offer. This year, her Black Friday wishlist features the Babé Super Fluid Sunscreen SPF50, an ultra-lightweight sunscreen suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
Beyond offering broad-spectrum protection from UVA and UVB radiation, blue light, and infrared radiation, this sunscreen also features carnosine, a natural antioxidant, and hyaluronic acid, a gold-star hydrator. Together, these ingredients lend this sunscreen an anti-aging effect, making it ideal for daily use.
L’Oréal Paris Men Expert Invincible Sport 96h Anti-Perspirant
The best deodorant for men
L’Oréal Paris Men Expert Invincible Sport 96h Anti-Perspirant
As a long-time member of the Care to Beauty team, João has something of a reputation as a connoisseur of deodorants for men. This year, he is campaigning for the L’Oréal Paris Men Expert Invincible Sport 96h Anti-Perspirant as the best deodorant ever.
This practical roll-on owes its high-performance formula to magnesium, a mineral with a high absorption capacity used in extreme sports. The formula also features aluminum, of course, the primary antiperspirant ingredient that offers unparalleled control of perspiration. For busy days or high-impact sports, you can’t go wrong with this deodorant!
Revlon Professional Re/Start Curls Defining Caring Cream
The anti-frizz curl cream
Revlon Professional Re/Start Curls Defining Caring Cream
Known for her bouncy, shoulder-length curls, Karina is one of our main sources of intel on the best hair care products for curl definition. Her current favorite is the Revlon Professional Re/Start Curls Defining Caring Cream, a no-rinse cream that works wonders to define curls and smooth down frizz.
The formula combines jojoba oil, for a healthy dose of nutrition, and a blend of defining sugars, for greater bounciness and curl definition. The formula also offers heat protection and, as if that weren’t enough, matches all the requirements of the Curly Girl Method!
Erborian Centella SOS Patch
The liquid “pimple patch”
Erborian Centella SOS Patch
Struggling with a stubborn pimple? Then Francisco’s wishlist pick, the Erborian Centella SOS Patch, might work well for you. This is a clear, no-fuss gel that should be applied locally to pimples using the applicator brush. Once applied, the gel forms a transparent film over the area, protecting and soothing the skin.
Through a combination of key ingredients, such as soothing Centella asiatica and panthenol, exfoliating PHA, and rebalancing niacinamide, this gel works overtime to reduce the appearance and size of localized pimples, leaving the skin smoother and more uniform in just 24 hours.
Clarins Joli Rouge Satin Lipstick The Refill 757 Nude Brick
The classic lipstick (with a refill!)
Clarins Joli Rouge Satin Lipstick The Refill 757 Nude Brick
For makeup recommendations, follow our resident makeup artist, Sofia. On her Black Friday wishlist this year is the Clarins Joli Rouge Satin Lipstick The Refill 757 Nude Brick, an iconic lipstick that offers comfort, hydration, and protection to dry and dehydrated lips.
With a creamy texture and a satin finish, this lipstick is a pleasure to use–but the feature Sofia loves the most is the color, a beautiful dusty nude. She adores it so much that she’s about to buy it for a third time! As soon as she finishes her current Clarins Joli Rouge lipstick, she’ll simply remove the inner tube and replace it with this new refill, keeping the original lipstick case intact!
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule
The Korean ampoule for sensitive skin
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule
Diana, one of the newest members of our buying team, has her eye on the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule for this Black Friday. SKIN1004 is an award-winning skincare brand from South Korea, and this ampoule is one of the brand’s most popular products.
The star ingredient in the formula is, of course, Centella asiatica, a soothing ingredient that promotes skin regeneration. The lightweight, light-as-water texture of this ampoule is suitable for different skin types, whether sensitive or acne-prone. If you struggle with redness and irritation, or simply need to give your skin a calming spa moment, give this ampoule a try!
L’Occitane Cleansing & Softening Almond Shower Oil Eco-Refill
The luxe shower oil
L’Occitane Cleansing & Softening Almond Shower Oil Eco-Refill
Here’s Eliana, from our marketing team, with a product fit for the wishlists of all shower and/or bubble bath enthusiasts: the L’Occitane Cleansing & Softening Almond Shower Oil. This iconic body wash has a luxurious oil texture that changes when in contact with water: it turns into a milky foam, rivaling any foaming gel out there!
The formula combines sweet almond oil and grape seed oil in a nourishing, soothing, and protective blend, ideal for both quick showers and long soaks. The irresistible sweet almond scent will transport you straight to the Mediterranean, and the refill function will ensure you never run out of product!
Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel Hydrating Aqua Cream-In-Gel
The 24-hour moisturizer
Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel Hydrating Aqua Cream-In-Gel
French Pharmacy skincare: it’s for men too! When we asked Nuno, a practical man if there ever was one, for his Black Friday wishlist, he immediately mentioned the Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel Hydrating Aqua Cream-In-Gel, a multi-benefit moisturizer that hydrates and protects the skin for 24 hours straight.
With an extremely lightweight aqua-gel texture, this daily moisturizer offers long-lasting hydration thanks to a unique combination of moisturizing ingredients: Cohederm, a patented moisturizing complex that provides continuous hydration, and Avène Thermal Water, known for its refreshing and soothing properties.
