I feel like my skin is coming out of a long battle with winter this year. It’s dry, it’s dull, and oh-yeah, I’m not getting any younger, either.
In an attempt to remedy my achy skin, I’ve been trying out a handful of products from Annemarie Börlind.
Shop Annemarie Börlind Skincare
If you’re new to the brand, Annemarie Börlind is a skincare company that uses zero silicones, microplastics, petroleum derivatives, and even formulated without animal extracts. The products focus on high-quality plant oils, sourcing from organic farming and wild harvesting as much as possible.
After reading about the products, I was full-send on trying out this skincare for myself with high hopes for bringing my face back to life for spring. My favorite pick is probably the Natucollagen line…but there are truthfully many products I’ve been overjoyed with.
The best part of it all?! I’ve had zero hives, red marks, or acne breakouts on my super-sensitive skin – a real notable aspect for me.
Moisture, Firmness, And Radiant Youthful Skin: My Favorites From Annemarie Börlind’s Natural Skincare Line
I, admittedly, got a little lazy with taking care of my skin when living in San Diego. I usually just slopped on some daily SPF lotion and called it good, thanks to the year-round temperate conditions making my skin feel somewhat normal. But now that I’ve moved to a place where winter (aka: cold, snow, & bitter dryness) is more of a reality, I quickly came to find that I needed to step up my skincare game again.
I’m always hesitant when it comes to using new products on my face. As I mentioned above, my skin is wildly sensitive. I’ve dealt with extremely dry skin and acne my whole life, and I’m not unfamiliar with hives (my body’s go-to move when it doesn’t like something). And now that I’m in my mid-30’s, I’ve noticed an actual dull-ness begin to creep across my face.
That whole “youthful supple glow” thing? I guess it’s real, dammit.
Start Here: Annemarie Börlind Natucollagen
Annemarie Börlind’s Natucollagen line focuses on 100% plant-based collagen to support the skin’s natural protective barrier while enhancing skin elasticity. Meaning, this line fully revamps that whole magical-supple-glow-thing (GLORY).

The Neck & Décolletage Serum is a little bit magical. It’s also really fun to use.
The bottle has a roller head that glides the velvety serum easily over your neck and chest, and honestly, it feels so good it can be hard to stop using it. I’ve been told that the neck, chest, and hands are some of the quickest areas to show aging, so this has been a top step I’ve loved adding into my routine to help support my skin’s tissue.

I also really love the Natucollagen Boost Facial Fluid Moisturizer and Plumping Lip Serum (sidenote: you can get the facial fluid + the line’s eye serum in a set, too!).
Natucollagen Boost Plumping Lip Serum
Both of these leave the same velvety, soft feeling as the neck roller. The moisture that is delivered is incredibly long-lasting (if your skin isn’t naturally dry, you could probably skip a lotion all together).

I will use these after washing my face and, especially with the lip serum, can go so much longer without the need to reach for an extra hydrating product (like a lip balm). The lip serum uses wakapamp (a product derived from seaweed) and szechuan pepper to visibly fill in lines and give a plump contour to my lips. It’s awesome and doesn’t at all feel prickly or numbing.
Don’t Skip Annemarie Börlind’s 2-Phase Hyaluronic Shake Treatment + Eye Pads
Coming in as a close second for my top fave Annemarie Börlind picks are their hyaluronic products.
2-Phase Hyaluronic Shake Treatment
As a dry skin girlie, you know I love hydration boosting effects of hyaluronic acid and the 2-Phase Hyaluronic Shake Treatment might just be the best product of its kind. Instead of simply hyaluronic acid alone, it’s combined with aloe vera, and gives the equivalent feeling of jumping into a cool pool on the hottest day of the year. It’s soothing, hydrating, and yet so rejuvenating.
2-Phase Hyaluronic Shake Treatment
I’ve been combining the use of the 2-Phase Hyaluronic Shake Treatment with Annemarie Börlind’s Hyaluron Augenpads for a double whammy effect. Moisture goes a looong way for the undereyes. I always notice the most immediate results with eye patches and for that reason I think they’re my favorite skincare item of all time. The spa-like feeling of using them doesn’t hurt, either.
These eye pads, specifically, have a really refreshing cooling effect that makes you want to keep wearing them a lot longer than the recommended 10 minutes (and I usually do). I actually feel more awake when using them.

Pro tip: eye patches can be used either direction. Position the wide side on the outside of your eye if wanting to plump up your smile lines, or flip the wide side under the eyes, closest to the nose, if dealing with puffy or worn-out skin under the eyes.
Saved The Best For Last?? Annemarie Börlind’s Get Glowing Set: Rose Blossom Serum + Exfoliating Peel
Funny enough, as I round out this article with my last two favorite Annemarie Börlind picks, I’m realizing it feels completely unfair to list them at the bottom or in “third place.” Because the Rose Blossom Serum paired with the Exfoliating Peel? Holy COW has the combo done wonders on my winter skin.
Rose Blossom Vital Care Serum | Annemarie Börlind Exfoliating Peel
Raise your hand if you’re a fellow millennial who used a fruit-named scrub growing up because we were told we had to basically rip our skin off when washing it?! While I actually love exfoliating my skin (it feels so good to scrub off dead, dry skin), as I’ve gotten older I’ve been on the lookout for something, uhh, softer. Yet still effective.
Annemarie Börlind Exfoliating Peel
The satisfaction of using Annemarie Börlind’s Exfoliating Peel is exactly what I wanted. Don’t be afraid of the word peel, product or skin isn’t actually peeling off your face. Jojoba wax balls are the heroes of the actual exfoliating process (no microplastics tearing our face off! hooray!), which are gentle yet incredibly effective. After using it, my face feels impeccably clean and soft. Like, it says to only use twice a week, but I’ve been using it a little more than that (shhhh, my skin needs it). The cherry on top is that my skin doesn’t feel stripped after using, unlike pretty much every other scrub I’ve ever used. It’s everything I would want in this kind of product.

To top off a fresh scrub, I apply the Rose Blossom Vital Care Serum (based on the brand’s suggestion, because we’ve learned by now that they’re brilliant).
Annemarie Börlind has the magical ability of creating oil based serums that don’t break me out. I do use them gingerly because I’m acne prone, but I SO RARELY can even use an oil product even once. Cue the hallelujah chorus (and tell me my skin is gorgeous next time you see me – because I know it is).
Xx,
Amy
