Hustlers need to look good too because entrepreneurs need to put their best face forward — quite literally. These busy women need ‘hero’ products — the ones that deliver visibly effective skincare with minimum effort.
It’s keeping them in mind that the biggest skincare brands have come up with multiple ranges of “low-maintenance but high-impact” products.
Best beauty skincare brands for the hustlers
Here’s a round-up of a few brands that women across the world swear by:
1. Glossier
The brand bases its products on its philosophy of ‘Skin First. Makeup Second’. Their range of skincare, haircare, makeup, bodycare, fragrance, and merch is not built in boardrooms but driven by the needs of real people. The brand is suited for women in the age group of 16–25 who appreciate high-quality products.
They started with an all-purpose balm, a facial mist, a sheer skin tint, and a moisturizer. This community-driven brand is much hyped and sought after on account of its approach to product development and marketing.
Glossier Stretch Concealer, Glossier Balm Dotcom, Glossier Boy Brow, its Milky Jelly Cleanser, Lash Slick, deodorant, and Body Hero Daily Perfecting Cream are just a few of the most popular products it sells. In 2022, they announced Grammy Award–winning musician Olivia Rodrigo as its brand ambassador.
2. The Ordinary
Affordable, science-backed formulas — or in other words, democratizing skin care through science, transparency, and accessibility at affordable prices — is the ideology at work here at The Ordinary. They share all information about their formulations with their customers on the promise of delivering real results.
Vegan, cruelty-free, and clinically tested, they keep it simple right down to the fuss-free packaging and branding. A few of their hero products that suit the needs of women hustlers are the Squalane Cleanser, AHA and BHA Peeling Solutions duo, Matrixyl, and Salicylic Acid, to list a few.
3. Drunk Elephant
The focus of this brand is on clean, non-toxic formulations containing as few ingredients as possible, and only those that will not cause irritation. The brand makes no claims to be 100% natural. They reason that even natural ingredients can be harmful to skin. They urge you to take, with their products, an ingredient elimination philosophy for a total skin reset — returning skin to its most balanced state, glowing with health.
This US brand also has travel-friendly kits and is easily available on popular channels such as Amazon. Khloé Kardashian, Drew Barrymore, and Hailey Bieber are a few of the many celebrities who swear by some of their products like ‘Lala Retro Whipped Cream’ and ‘F-Balm Electrolyte Water Facial Mask’.
4. CeraVe
The aim of its skincare range is to restore the skin’s natural barrier to get that healthy, hydrated skin. Their range is known for being effective and affordable. Developed by dermatologists, CeraVe’s patented MultiVesicular Emulsion Technology allows ingredients to be released in a time-delayed manner, providing lasting hydration.
For the women on the go, this is one of the best things that skincare brands can promise to offer. Celebrities like Blake Lively, Olivia Wilde, and Poppy Delevingne vouch for the goodness this brand has to offer.
5. Tatcha
This Japanese skincare brand is expensive. It uses proprietary technology or rare ingredients that are expensive to manufacture/source. Vicky Tsai, founder of Tatcha, created this brand based on Japanese beauty rituals. Their range is a coming together of superfoods, amino acids, and AHAs called Hadasei-3™. This is a proprietary complex of twice-fermented rice, green tea, and algae.
The products are available at Sephora stores, Mecca, and Ulta stores, to name a few. Many celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Kim Kardashian, Meghan Markle, Camila Mendes, and Selena Gomez have said a lot of good things about Tatcha’s line-up of skincare products.
6. La Roche-Posay
This French skincare brand is a very well-known one under the umbrella of parent company L’Oréal. The products are made working in close partnership with dermatologists.
The brand has a good celebrity fan club with members like Heidi Klum, Anne Hathaway, Kelly Ripa, Leighton Meester, and more. Their formulations are mild and have proven results in treating conditions like eczema, dryness, and acne.
7. Summer Fridays
They work on the principle of powerful yet gentle skincare products, and hybrid makeup to take the effort out of routines. They boast of perfect levels of active ingredients that give quick results, without the downtime, to build the elusive everyday glow. They can be used alone or layered easily, fuss-free.
The brand’s products are favourites amongst A-list celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jessica Alba. Inspired by superfoods and a mindset of fun and youthfulness, this California-based, pro-grade vegan skincare brand has a growing fanbase.
8. Youth to the People
This California-based brand is about creating skincare products as whole, clean, and nutrient-rich as what people put in their bodies. They have a range of high-performing, plant-based skincare formulas inspired by superfoods.
With 100% vegan ingredients, cold-pressed extracts, gentle preservatives, and earth-friendly packaging, their range of products includes cleansers, serums, moisturizers, and masks.
9. Pixi Beauty
Pixi offers high-quality, natural, and effective skincare, as well as makeup infused with its skin-loving ingredients. Pixi is about offering multi-tasking products. They do flaw-fixing and deliver youth-enhancing products to ‘make you look like you, only better’.
Their products are popular for their versatility and interesting packaging that fits the needs of the forever-on-the-move entrepreneurs. The products are easily available on multiple platforms and most makeup-selling stores like Sephora, worldwide.
10. Biossance
The brand uses biotechnology to create effective, sustainable, and safe skincare products. The focus is on using sustainable squalane derived from bio-fermenting 100% plant-based sugarcane.
Squalane is an emollient that mimics your skin’s natural oils to keep the skin hydrated. Their products are available on their website (biossance.com) and at Sephora.
