☀️Morning Must-Haves

As someone who’s tried dozens of skincare products, The Ordinary remains one of my go-to brands — especially in winter. Their formulas are effective, affordable, and perfect for layering. This is my full winter routine for keeping skin hydrated, prot...

My #1 hydration booster — I apply it to damp skin and it soaks right in. My skin feels like a sponge ready for the rest of the routine.

Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)

A no-fuss, reliable moisturizer. Lightweight but does the job, even in freezing weather.

Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA

"SPF in winter? Absolutely. This one’s great under makeup and doesn’t leave a white cast."

UV Filters SPF 45 Serum

Evening Routine Heroes🥰

“Nighttime is when your skin does most of its repair work — so I keep my evening routine focused on gentle cleansing, deep hydration, and barrier support. These are my go-to products that leave my skin feeling soft, calm, and nourished before bed.”

It melts makeup and sunscreen off without stripping. Plus, it doubles as a balm when rubbed between palms

Squalane Cleanser

My all-in-one anti-aging and hydration serum. It makes my skin feel firmer and more bouncy.

The Multi-Peptide Collection

This seals in all the goodness. I use it last to lock in moisture — especially helpful for dry patches or redness.

100% Plant-Derived Squalane

Weekly Boosters

“These are the products I rotate in a few times a week to keep my skin smooth, clear, and radiant. They're especially helpful in winter when dullness and sensitivity creep in. Think of them as my skin’s extra pick-me-up.”

Gentle exfoliation that won’t wreck your skin barrier. I use this 2x a week to keep my glow.

Lactic Acid 5% + HA

Reduces redness and evens tone — especially helpful if your skin is reactive in winter.

Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%

Goodbye puffy eyes. This helps me look more awake and keeps the under-eye area smooth and hydrated.

Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG

Lazy Day Essentials (When You Just Can’t Do a Full Routine)

“Let’s be real — some nights you just want to crawl into bed. When I’m too tired for the full skincare lineup, these are the 2–3 products I reach for to get the job done with minimal effort but maximum skin-saving impact.”

Super gentle, melts off makeup and grime. I’ll sometimes use just this and squalane oil — done in 60 seconds.

Squalane Cleanser

This multitasks as a moisturizer and sealant. If I do just one product before bed, it’s this.

The Ordinary | Clinical Formulations with Integrity

If I have 10 extra seconds, I’ll sandwich this between cleansing and squalane oil. Just gives that extra layer of nourishment.
