Cleanser

Especially if you double cleanse, the first step in your skincare routine starts with cleanser. From Oil-based to Micellar water, I have favorites that I have found to work for all types of skincare concerns.

Even with combo skin this cream cleanser makes my face feel so clean and soft after using. It does have an exfoliater in it so if you have sensitive skin I wouldn't use ut daily but it's an affordable alternative to some other cleansers out there.

Toners

Toner is not always a necessary step in skincare, but it can help a lot for so many skin concerns. From delivering more moisture to fading dark spots and eliminating texture, I have tried something for everything.

Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner

I think this product is wonderful. It seems to have a burn to it. It takes some getting used to for your skin. Other than that. That's a kiss from the chef. I will place another order. This time, only the larger bottle. This brand is incredible!
