Cleansers

I keep it simple with cleansers—I usually just rinse my face with water in the morning and occasionally use a tallow bar. But at night, I always make sure to cleanse properly, and double cleanse if I wear makeup.

Just a simple, cheap cleanser you can find in stores. Gentle enough for everyday use.

I double cleanse on days I wear makeup with this coconut oil. I will use a small amount to rub on my face then wipe it off with a soft cloth. Then cleanse with one of my cleansers. This is not suitable for acne prone skin.

Toner

I switch between these two toners and only use it 2x a week at night. These are acids and if you use it anymore than that, you may ruin your skin barrier, as these can be quite harsh for daily use. Always follow-up with sunscreen the next day after u...

This toner is cheap and works. Overtime, helps even your skin tone and reduces bumpy, textured skin. Also, works under your armpit for discoloration and/or odor. I only use this 1-2x a week with no other acids.

If you have acne prone or oily skin, this is for you. Although, I am not acne prone, I use this to reduce those stubborn filaments on my nose. And this helps prevent/reduce my time of the month breakouts.

Serums

Honestly, a serum is my holy grail for beautiful skin. These help rid of my imperfections and leave your skin supple and dewy!

 
Lex Davis profile picture
This is a great all-in-one serum. In just 3 days of using this religiously day and night, my blemishes, redness, and dark areas significantly decreased and my face is no longer dull, as shown in my before and after picture. I used it day and night fo...

Moisturizers/Sunscreen

Now here's where I have a lot of products but with good reason. From day to night, summer to winter… I have a moisturizer for it all.

I received this as a mother's day gift and it's become a staple in my routine. I would love to do this nightly but let's face it, it only happens 1-2x a week. I will facial steam after cleansing and before adding all my products to my face.
