A collection of my favorite skincare products that I've personally used and loved! For context, my skin is generally not very acne-prone, so these recommendations are best suited for normal skin or those with mild breakouts/light acne.

I never really used lip scrubs until recently, and I love this one. I only use it when my lips feel a little more chapped than usual, or before a special occasion, because my lips are typically pretty hydrated. It smells super good and is easy to pac...

I got this in a tester size for a Sephora birthday gift and have definitely noticed a difference in my lashes. Super easy to apply. I haven't used any alternatives, but also haven't found the need to. The small tester bottle has lasted me a while, an...
