In a market saturated with empty promises and pretty packaging, Latinas in the U.S. face a challenge: finding skin care products that truly understand our needs, skin tones and lifestyles. From dryness due to weather changes to hyperpigmentation spots to sensitivity to alcohol products, our face has a different story to tell.
Here I bring you a reliable selection of skin care for latinas, based on real reviews, Latin dermatologists and what works for those who know what it’s like to live between two cultures, two languages and a thousand demands.
1. CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser
Life is a give and take – so why should your face cleanser be any different? With CeraVe, cleansing can be about giving, not just taking. #GetCeraVeClean while helping skin maintain its moisture balance with hyaluronic acid and 3 essential ceramides. pic.twitter.com/wtcec3vRUu

Why do we love it? Because it cleanses without drying.
Ideal for dry, combination or sensitive skin (yes, the one that even reacts to the wind).
ONNDA Tip: Use it in your nighttime routine after makeup removal, especially if you use medium or high coverage foundation.
2. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% + Zinc 1% 2.
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% ($9.80):
– diminishes enlarged pores
– anti-inflammatory
– wrinkle prevention (anti-aging)
– hydrates, brightens your skin
– hyper-pigmentation, reduces acne scars pic.twitter.com/RIy2Br36Yp– MAKEUP (@glowkit) January 21, 2018
Visible results for spots and blemishes.
This wonder fights hyperpigmentation -very common in Latin skin- and excess oiliness, without costing you a fortune.
ONNDA Tip: Apply after cleansing your face, before moisturizer. It may sting a little at first, but this is normal.
3. Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40

Sun protection without the white trace. Because yes, darker skin also needs daily sunscreen.
This one feels like a primer and goes perfect under makeup.
ONNDA Tip: Wear it even on cloudy days – the sun doesn’t rest!
4. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer

Moisturization that stays with you all day long. With ceramides and niacinamide, it helps restore the skin barrier and keep skin fresh without feeling greasy.
ONNDA Tip: Ideal if you live in states like Texas, Florida or California, where the weather can change in the blink of an eye.
5. Herbivore Botanicals Bakuchiol Serum
Sensitive skin and retinol don’t always mix. Luckily, Herbivore has a new plant-based retinol alternative that is great for sensitive skin. Read my full and honest review of the clean beauty product here >> https://t.co/awDoOzmBuP pic.twitter.com/uGMm8z8Sws

A natural alternative to retinol. If you want anti-aging results without irritation, this serum with bakuchiol (plant-derived) is for you.
ONNDA Tip: Perfect to use at night and wake up with skin as soft as freshly baked sweet bread.
Because taking care of yourself is not a luxury, it is an act of self-love.
Being a Latina in the U.S. means being in constant movement: between work, family, children, nostalgia for your homeland.
But it also means knowing that you deserve the best for yourself. These products don’t just take care of you, they understand you.
Share it with your sister, your mom or your best friend.
Because we all know a woman who deserves to feel beautiful, inside and out.
