fter months of testing hundreds of beauty products,
our beauty editor and panel selected the winners of Art
Bodega’s 2014 Beauty Awards. They include classic antiaging favorites to innovative and hot new product that
caught our eye! We also took into account that there is not
always only “one best product”, but that it depends on
many things such as skin type and specific skin concerns.
So here they are, the 2014 skincare Beauty Award winners!
And stay tuned; in the next issue we will present the 2014
makeup Beauty Award winners!
