I organized the links in the order that I do my routine :)

Double Cleanse, Double Cleanse, Double Cleanse!!!! Only using a foam cleanser won't do much in terms of unclogging pores. The oil cleanser is going to lift all of that stuff up first!

I stand by these wipes, very gentle and convenient. Sometimes after a long day, all I want to do is climb into bed without washing my face, but some skincare is better than none!

I find this to be less stripping than most micellar water.

I have personal beef with CeraVe.

I like to keep this on as a mask and then rinse when dry. It helps with brightening your skin as well as targets hyperpigmentation.
Hudorganics Qasil Powder 150g

Post-Wash!

You would typically go from thinnest product to thinnest but I find this order to work the best for my skin type

I've tried a few of Mediheal's toner pads, but this one works the best for me. My main target is skin texture as this is an exfoliant.

Aloe is really good for the skin barrier, I use this when I need a bit more moisture.

Always leave the house with sunscreen! UV protection is super important! Better to prevent wrinkles rather than treat them.

I've also used this sunscreen and love how it doesn't leave a white cast. It gives my skin a nice little glow but it does sting around the eyes sometimes so I'd be careful with that if you have a sensitivity.

I end my skincare with Aquaphor, because dry lips are a no. I noticed that Aquaphor tends to be more nourishing than Vaseline.
