Just as your favorite black pumps and a great pair of jeans will never go out of style, the same can be said for certain beauty products. SkinCareBeautyZone.com recently voted in the top 10 must-have classics for any woman's vanity. Take a look and see how many of these you have!

1. Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly
From Hollywood celebs to stay-at-home-moms, everyone has found a use for Vaseline. What else can remove makeup, moisturize and protect skin, care for chapped lips, prevent lipstick stains on your teeth and stave off chaffing from your new jog bra? Suffice to say, this is something you just cannot live without. Oh, and it's great for diaper rash too!

2. Clinique's 3-Step Skin Care System
Every woman knows the importance of the cleanse-exfoliate-moisturize routine, right? Perhaps starting this trend was Clinique's 3-Step Skin Care System, which according to its manufacturers, ships 41 units every minute! This all-in-one facial care system is used by women all over the world, and why wouldn't it be? It has everything you need.

3. Nivea Crème
If you thought Clinique's sales were impressive, how about Nivea's? They reportedly sell one pot of their infamous cream every second throughout 170 countries. This beauty classic is an all-purpose skin moisturizer which can be used on the face, hands and other dry areas to instantly soften.

4. Crème de la Mer
Crème de la Mer is the must-have moisturizing cream for any women who wants to combine necessity with luxury. Year after year, women keep coming back to this product because it leaves your face and neck virtually crease-free. No forever-young woman is going to turn that down!

5. La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream
This classic cream has retained its original formula since it was first manufactured in 1993. Women around the world loyally use it for its rich, floral scent and unmistakably luxurious feel.

6. Bourjois Blush
Available in a variety of perfect shades, some consider Bourjois Blush to be among the best of all time. First developed in 1863, this product has become a staple for many women partly because of its specially baked powdery feel.

7. Chanel No. 5 Eau de Parfum
What woman hasn't at least tried Chanel No. 5 Eau de Parfum? It's considered to be the top-selling fragrance around the world and is known for its secret garden scent that has remained unchanged over the years.

8. Guerlain Issima Midnight Secret
Dubbed as "sleep in a jar", this cream is the closest you'll get to having a good night's sleep. It is adored by celebrities and non-celebs alike as a must-have if you want to retain that young, fresh and alive look on your face -- even after a burning the midnight oil.

9. Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream Skin Protectant
Used by Sir Edmund Hilary to combat windburn when he climbed Mount Everest in 1953, this cream has history. And why wouldn't it? It's one of the best beauty products for your skin.

10. Oil of Olay
For any woman who wants to "Love the skin you're in", Oil of Olay is a must-have. Many of us remember our mothers using this product, and now we are too. First developed in 1949, it has become a classic beauty staple for any woman of any age.
Now that you know the must-have beauty products, take a look at what some consider to be must-have supplements.
