Current Skincare Routine
Current Skincare Routine
The OG Micellar water. I always start by removing my makeup with this. If you have tough to remove makeup like eyeliner or mascara, soak a reuseable makeup pad with the micellar water, and hold it to your eye. Don't rub! It'll gently help dissolve it...
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
After I remove my makeup with micellar water, I really want to ensure makeup isn't clogging up my pores. By using a cleansing oil, you'll break down the remainder of your makeup in a gentle way. With my sensitive and super dry skin, a cleansing oil i...
Cleansing oil
After cleansing, I always spray my face down with Hypochlorous Acid Spray. You're probably familiar with the Tower28 one, but this one's from amazon and it does the same thing.
My eye doctor told me that it's so gentle, they prescribe Hypochlorous Acid to kids for pink eye. It's an antiseptic that helps with acne prone skin.

Hypochlorous Acid Spray
This is my favourite cleanser. I find it extremely gentle and deep cleaning. The amount of fragrance in this product does not bother me, but it may irritate some. If you are very sensitive to fragrance, stick to just the cleansing oil.
LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cleansing foam
This product is suitable for those with sensitive, normal and dry skin. Centella is a very gentle ingredient and it's usually used for “calming”. I personally find this not hydrating enough for Canadian winters, but perfect for spring and summer.
Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Brightening toner 210mL
My absolute favourite Hyaluronic Acid Serum- and trust me, I've tried a lot of them. This was is an Olive Young award winner, and it really is the best one on the market. It doesn't feel sticky, and my dry skin absolutely drinks it up

I've tried a few of the SKIN1004 Ampoules and even with my eczema-prone skin, this one was extremely gentle. I actually found it helped with my over-all texture. My pores visibly looked smaller. I also received a lot of positive feedback about the ov...

I honestly never wanted to love this serum. It's extremely expensive. But over the years, I've always gone back to reach for it. It really does help me repair my skin (especially when I'm bad and pick at hormonal acne!) over night.
Estée Lauder Advanced Night repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex Serum with Hyaluronic Acid
I've tried both the 345 Relief cream and the 147 barrier cream. When your face is super dry, grab the barrier cream. I use the 147 now since my eczema has calmed down a lot. My aesthetician also told me that the barrier cream as ingredients that aren...
Summer & Spring moisturizer - Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream
When the Canadian winter weather hits, my skin is begging for extra hydration. I swap the 345 Relief cream out for the 147 Barrier cream. I'm also always looking for something to help repair my skin barrier
Winter Skincare - Dr. Althea - 147 Barrier Cream
This is a moisturizing mist that helps support the skin barrier. Some may find it a bit greasy, so I only suggest this for dry skin.
