The non negotiables
Â
I admit I don't use this one EVERY day but it's so important to have! It has skin balancing and brightening ingredients like lavender, rice bran, and citrus oils and cleans up any excess oil my skin produces while I sleep on those.... sweatier nights...
precleanse cleansing oil
Â
I've used a lot of cleansers in my life and this is the only one that doesn't strip my dry spots but keeps my oily spots balanced and clear. And it rinses CLEANN
The Cult Classic
Â
I cannot hype this product up enough. One container lasts me for MONTHS and it's just the right amount of scrubbiness for a recovering over exfoliator like myself (if you grew up using St. Ives Apricot scrub then you know what I'm talking about). It...
daily microfoliant exfoliator
Â
This is my newest edition and idk how I lived without it. A lot of my dark spots are from deep, cystic acne. I try not to over do the salicylic acid but a swipe of this is the perfect amount to prevent my breakouts in the first place and unearths ing...
Acne Clearing Pads with 2% Salicylic Acid
Â
It feels like every time I find a good toner or tonic it gets discontinued but Tula came in clutch with this clarifying tonic after Burt's Bees discontinued the one I was using prior. My breakouts are under control and my skin is BALANCED and that's ...
Clarifying Tonic
Â
Such a simple product to over come having one dry lip and one soft one. And as a life long picker (if you know you know) my lips are often angry and peeling. Well. Not anymore. I can't hype this stuff enough.
Aquaphor® Lip Repair Soothing Relief for Dry Lips
Â
FAT. WATER. There is nothing like it. Niacinamide and Barbados Cherry with a lil witch hazel slowly fades dark spots and keeps my pores toit. And it's not sticky?! It's a great carrier to add drops of whatever booster fits your skin. Plus it dries pr...
Fat Water Niacinamide Pore-Refining Toner Serum with Barbados Cherry
Â
I understand not wanting a thick eye cream.... BUT I DO and this one is perfect for me. Once I noticed that I was developing lines the hunt for the perfect daytime eye cream was on. This one moisturizes and plumps, and with the rest of my routine it ...
MOON DEW 1% Bakuchiol + Peptides Retinol Alternative Eye Cream
Â
This is easily one of the best moisturizers I have ever used. As someone who was shiny through her childhood I don't aim for a dewy finish. I will always aim for a mattified glow and this lotion delivers. Not heavy, very smooth to layer with, and not...
Gentle Clear Mattifying Acne Moisturizer
Â
This sunscreen is the unsung hero of my skincare regimen. Great protection helps with keeping dark spots and acne scars from getting worse, isn't too thick, and also leaves your face powdery soft to the touch. Takes a second to get it worked all the ...
Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50: Mattifying Oil + Pore Control
Non-Daily boosters
Â
WHEN YOU NEED THAT DEEP SCRUB??? This is my absolute favorite. I only use this when I need it but once or twice a week this is my go to buff my skin. It's also an amazing carrier to add any boosters you might need.
Brightening Facial Scrub
Â
When I turned 30 my under eye got DRY. Especially after a sad girl movie night.... but in the morning? After tonic/toner and before my serum this SAVES me from the tight, flaky nonsense.
24K Gold Firming Hydra-Gel Eye Patches|30 pairs
Â
Add one pump to the Fat Water. Mix in your hands well and slap it on if/when period acne hits. It changed the game for me and I hope it does for you too.
I don't always use a face oil. But when I do? It's this one. Blue tansy is such a winner for balancing combo skin. Just a drop or two as a layer after a long day as a post serum layer will undo the skin disarray from even the saltiest and sandiest of...
LAPIS Blue Tansy + Squalane Balancing Facial Oil
Â
This is what booster power looks like to me. I add a couple drops to any or every step in my routine. It's not so strong that it increases your skin's sensitivity yet in conjunction with other products it really does boost radiance and helps even out...
