Cleansers

These two are my tried and true. They both are so gentle, while also making sure your face is clean without disrupting my skin barrier. These both are under $20 so a very good price point in my opinion. They both have Niacinamides in them which are a...

Vitamin C

After cleansing my skin, I apply about 4 drops and PRESS it into my skin. I do not rub this in, I gently press it onto my skin. When you press in your products it helps with absorption.

This is made with mica which is supposed to help with a natural hydrating glow. Make sure to shake it up before use.

Eye Cream

Eye Cream is a MUST for me. I need something that is going to depuff, hydrate, brighten and keep wrinkles far away.

I love this eye cream because 1) the metal tip helps massage in the cream and 2) because it layers under makeup flawlessly! We are not here for creepy under eyes once we apply our concealer and makeup. 3) it has pro-retinol, vitamin c, and hyaluronic...

Moisturizer

Finding a lightweight, non-oily moisturizer that won't peel under makeup is not as easy as you would think. If you notice a trend almost everything I have in my skincare has some form of retinol (yes even for my daytime items)!

This also has Broad Specturm 25 which helps since there is retinol in it, and anytime you use a retinol you need to be protecting your skins from both UVA & UVB by using a broad spectrum sunscreen. Also this is made with a herb that is used in tr...

SPF

Sun protection is non-negotiable, I do not care if it's raining outside or if the sun isn't fully out. I do not go without some form of SPF on my face!

This is a multi-use product. I wear it under my makeup, or when I don't want to wear makeup but want a little more of a glow. This also is a dupe to the Super Goop sunscreen

This is AMAZING if you have super sensitive skin and can only use mineral sunscreens. The only active ingredient is Zinc Oxide.

I have also used this as a primer under my makeup when I feel a little red, since this has a light green tint to it, so it balances out that redness.
