Best Vegan Beauty Products to Try This Veganuary

Switching your staple skin care products to vegan formulas doesn't mean that you have to compromise on quality. In fact, this cleansing balm from skin care giant REN works overtime to ensure that your complexion is left squeaky clean and healthy.

The rose-infused balm melts into a luxurious creamy milk when applied with water, which then removes dirt, oil and stubborn makeup, including waterproof mascara, leaving you fresh-faced.

Just because you’re cutting out the animal by-products doesn’t mean you have to compromise on the luxury. The INKEY List Rosehip Oil is every bit as gorgeous as you’d expect. A wonderful blend of rosehip fruit and seed oils works deep into the skin to restore balance and texture. Renowned for its antioxidants and skin-healing properties, this vegan bottle of wonder is all you need to bring back your glow.
