What I Put On My Skin
31
items Products here are only focused on evening my skin tone, fading hyperpigmentation and overall brightness. Any acne I do get is hormonal, I have oily skin and it’s never too early to stave off wrinkles!

It’s been a week of continuous use and I have fallen in love. Not sure if I liked a product more. My skin feels perfectly smooth when I wake up in the morning. Better than a sheet mask for longer lasting penetration. Why I like about it is it dries q...
Collagen Night Wrapping Mask
You skin will never look better. Is it pregnancy glow in a bottle? Any time I feel like my skin is dull and needs a pick me up, I buy this. A couple of days using this and it’s like a filter is applied. Wish it wasn’t as pricey but it’s worth it and ...
Aging Skin Facial Treatment Essence with Antioxidants
I know I made a CeraVe cleanser recommendation but I have also added this to my rotation. Both cleansers do what needs to be done. Neither strip my skin causing it to become over oily later in the day. I feel like my skin especially my pours get a re...
Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser | Acne Face Wash
Because I love the naturuim perfector body wash I wanted to have a face wash to travel with for an upcoming trip in March. I never ended up going on that trip but have since used this face wash and have really been enjoying it. I know a lot of folks ...
Niacinamide Cleansing Gelee 3% - Naturium | Ulta Beauty
Vitamin C isn’t a strong enough brightening ingredient. I wasted so much time and money on vitamin C products over the year. However, I think this is a sufficient makeup remover. It’s simple, gets the job done, it doesn’t make me breakout, doesn’t ha...
3.4 oz SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water with Vitamin C ...
Got gifted this and thought, let me give my black girl sunscreen a break and try something new. LOVE. Here are my 3 favorite aspects of the product. 1. No white cast. Even though it’s going under my makeup I’m not a fan of white cast. 2. It didn’t re...
Better Screen™ UV Sunscreen Serum — SPF 50+ Sunscreen — Kiehl’s
I feel like Estée Lauder as a brand doesn’t get enough hype or placement in skincare or makeup conversations I have enjoyed this line of skincare. I notice a difference every time I use it. I look less tired even if I’m not well rested from the night...
Advanced Night Repair Supercharged Gel Eye Cream, 0.50 oz.
I have fallen in love after one single use. Buy. This. Medicube is a trusted brand and I love their collagen overnight mask so yesterday I decided to purchase this. The way the mask locked my face as it dried. My pores were so clean and smooth and ti...
Zero Pore Blackhead Mud Mask
Just got this off the TikTok shop a week or so ago and I am noticing my skin improving. While I apply it to my whole face, I’m keeping a close eye on my chin where I have hyperpigmentation from hormonal acne. It’s smoother and a hint lighter. Slow an...
Jiyu Korean Skincare Anti-Aging Toner Pads with Snail Mucin, Centella Asiatica, Niacinamide, Peptide Complex - 100 ct.
There was a Korean skincare pop up in SoHo in August and I loved the collagen mask so I said why not try this? I had nothing pore focused in my regimen and I could do with cleaning my pores out. Since I’ve purchased this I’ve been using it once a wee...
Zero Pore Blackhead Mud Mask
Tools
I have just started to use this on deep dark spots and I’ve noticed immediate improvement with how dark the marks are just after a couple uses. I wish the patch quantity was higher because I’ve needed to dedicate one box to a specific area when I’d l...
Micropoint™ for Dark Spots
I feel so late having just purchased these. Washcloths are great but they have NOTHING on exfoliating gloves. My skin already felt amazing but these gloves help my skin feel magnificent in the shower. Then I moisturize post shower and idk maybe bc th...
Organic Cotton Exfoliating Gloves - Earth Therapeutics | Ulta Beauty
This is a more recent purchase for me but so far I’ve been really impressed. I have suffered from razor bumps for years, did laser but that’s not permanent, the upkeep isn’t cheap, and I stopped waxing regularly so the couple time I have gone recentl...
OLOV Electric Body Hair Trimmer - Groin Trimmer for Men - Bikini Trimmer Women - Wet/Dry Shaver Groomer, Replaceable Ceramic Blade Heads, USB Recharge Dock, Waterproof Hygiene Razor, White
Nails
Look is picking at my cuticles lady like? No but it’s a bad habit when I’m stressed. Put this on my cuticles consistently for a week and I am back in action. I’ve had this for awhile. I think it’s size is more than enough to last a year because it’s ...
Milk & Honey Cuticle Oil 2.5oz | TODAY SHOW SPECIAL
A recent discovery that I have come to be a fan of. The easiest way to quickly make sure your nails look professionally done all the time. Most importantly there are so many styles to choose from. I’m a solid pattern, neutral, oval nail type of girl....
OPI xPRESS/ON instant gel-like salon manicure nails
Lips
This is what I think is just as good as Laniege lip mask if you want over night hydration. It’s a bit on the greasy looking side so it’s not something I wear out of the house. Finally, can’t be the price.
Lip Balm
So while I do like this product (only been using it a few weeks now, a late Christmas gift) I don’t know if it’s necessary. I was a routine user of Vaseline or Mario Badescu lip balm on my lips at night for hydration. I never woke up with super dry l...
Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C
Body
I have been using this for a few years now and really like it. After I shower before I hop into bed I rub this on my thighs and butt. It think it definitely helps stave off cellulite because I have yet to see cellulite and my skin feels consistently ...
Anti Cellulite Massage Oil for Massage Therapy - Collagen and Stem Cell Skin Tightening Cellulite Cream for Women - 8 Fl Oz by M3 Naturals
Ngl to you, I do not care for the price. Maybe it’s because I’m heavy handed and go through it kind of fast but I digress! It does my skin good 😩. I was like ok let me try Native to save, or Faded bar soap (remember hyperpigmentation isn’t my friend...
The Perfector Salicylic Acid Body Wash
I have heard about this for awhile and my cousin recently recommended it so I thought why not? I have been using Dove faithfully all my life without issue but I’ve upgraded all other body products, why not try new deodorant. While some balk at the pr...
Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant
Outside of this one being better for those with sensitive skin and prone to breakouts, not a ton commentary on this product. Vaseline has been a staple for generations and I’ve used it forever. I use it regardless of the season but I’m most religious...
vaseline blueseal baby jelly - 100ml
What I loved about this product package was the variety. Something for everyone and perfect for different use cases. The small stick I use when I need to reapply and I’m carrying a small purse. I love to use the body glow for when I have a nice summe...
Vacation Ready SPF Vault
For those who have sensitive sink like me, this is a good option. My skin felt very clean afterwards, not stripped, and it didn’t cause any breakouts. I actually bought a mini/travel size to keep in my gym bag because the body washes at my gym have f...
Glycolic Acid Body Wash For Exfoliating - Naturium
Just finished this product and it has turned me into a scrub person. I love the fragrance of it. Not too overpowering. And the formula isn’t too harsh. It doesn’t feel like sandpaper on your skin. I enjoy that it adds to my overall body fragrance. I ...
REPLICA Lazy Sunday Morning Body Scrub | Maison Margiela
Met the blueprint, Jasmine Tookes, today in NYC for a conversation about motherhood and Brunel. Brunel went live on my birthday this year so I’ve been using this product since May and love it! I asked her today if it was travel sized and she confirme...
Golden Hour Glow Body Oil
Such an easy and simple purchase that is so helpful. Essentially the same as tennis wrist bands to keep your hands dry from arm sweat and to wipe your forehead with. Now just collecting water for when you’re washing or steaming your face or hair inst...
Prep Wristbands - Scünci | Ulta Beauty
I have the 8.4 oz without the pump and love it. While I was gifted this, I was still nervous that this would be a more expensive version of a lotion (blanking on the name) that just sits on top of your skin. This does no such thing. I appreciate that...
Creme de Corps | Refillable Lotion with Cocoa Butter | Kiehl’s
I’ve had this for years and have used it sparingly but every time I needed it, it’s really held up. Hyperpigmentation is my main skin issue and sometimes I simple need quick coverage and this is so reliable. I LOVE the brush. Such a perfect applicato...
Body Coverage Perfector
I started using this a couple weeks ago and I feel like it’s the best prep for summer skin. Sometimes I do want my skin to feel oily or greasy and sometimes I want my skin to feel dry (not dried out) but still moisturized and that what this lotion do...
Eucerin Original Healing Rich Body Lotion for Dry Skin Unscented - 16.9 fl oz
Mouth
This is the only toothpaste I have used my entire life. Before they had baking soda in the toothpaste my mom would put baking soda on top of the toothpaste. I would not recommend anything else and I have no plans on switching my toothpaste brand. My ...
ARM & HAMMER Advance White Extreme Whitening Toothpaste - Clean Mint - 6oz
Eye
Still can’t properly pronounce this brand name but I am a fan of their eye cream. I’m starting to use it more frequently at night and I’ve noticed my under eyes look and feel smooth in the morning. I have not seen any major improvements in my under e...
