Don’t you just wish there was a line of skincare that could cover all of your skin’s concerns without having to buy a ton of different brands and their products? Goop skincare has you covered.

Academy Award winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow started the line in conjunction with Juice Beauty in 2016.

The skincare line is almost completely organic and features an instant facial, a night cream, an eye cream, a face oil, a day moisturizer and a cleanser.

I jumped on the opportunity to purchase a Goop discovery kit which included the facial oil, day moisturizer, instant facial and night cream. 

The facial oil is meant to be applied alone or in conjunction with moisturizer, and should be patted on the face first if used with the moisturizer. I used it alone and thought it was moisturizing enough for my combination skin. It smells soft and pleasant, and soaked into my skin well.

The instant facial. The holy grail. The fire within my loins. I’ll be honest – I pulled a Gwyneth and have been using it every day (it’s only recommended for use 2 – 3 times a week but Queen G smears it on daily). For the most fresh, clean, glowing skin in the entire world, buy this product. It is to be applied post cleansing and left on for three minutes before massaging the face and loosening and removing the dead skin and leftover product. A quick splash of water and you’re glowing and ready to take on the world. Acids in the facial eat off dead skin and reveal the beautiful new skin underneath. Fabulous, darling.

The day moisturizer is nice and light and did an excellent job taking my newfound glow to the next level. The Revitalizing Day Moisturizer is a lightweight cream that reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, hydrates and softens and helps lighten dark marks. It is infused with linseed extract, Vitamins C & E and peptides.

The night cream is last but surely not least. Intoxicatingly rich, the cream is packed with different oils, acids and extracts that work to make your skin simply gorgeous. Sandalwood nut oil increases elasticity while linseed extract and hyaluronic acid hydrate, lift and firm the skin. The treatment works as you sleep, allowing it to penetrate deep into the skin and soak into your pores for hours and hours. Luxurious.

Honestly, who doesn’t want to be like Gwyneth Paltrow? Her entrepreneurship and strength are everyday inspirations. Who knows? Maybe that instant facial will give you her power.
