These are the things I have come to live and die by as someone who has worked in plastic surgery for over 10 years and want my skin to look as good as possible.

SPF and Sun Protection
SPF protection plus an amazing glow!
Ulta Beauty
Gives such a nice glow while providing comprehensive SPF coverage. Bonus points you can get this covered under most HSA/FSA plans since the spf is higher than 15 and covers UVA & UVB
No one want melanoma on the scalp believe me! Protecting your scalp is just as important as the rest of your skin but no one wants to spray sunscreen all over your hair causing it to look greasy and gross. This is specifically designed for use on the...
Super easy to keep in your purse or belt bag and re-apply during the day while you're out and about. Bonus it will help keep your makeup looking matte while sweating through the day in the summer!
Supergoop! (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder Sunscreen SPF 35 PA+++
Drugstore dupe for the supergoop mineral sunscreen! Have not tried it myself yet but i will be purchasing this weekend and will update!
Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Skin Nourishing Sunscreen Powder Brush
Skincare
This is really good in a weekly application to try and get that surface level, dead skin and junk out of your pores. Overall with consistent use in 2 to 3 months it’s possible to see a slight reduction in fine lines as well. Comes in a pack of 8 so i...
PTR Glycolic Peel
Another very affordable at home peel. This should not be used more than one time peer week. Start with a very thin layer.
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
Best gentle cleanser! I have VERY sensitive skin and have oily/acne prone skin. I have been using this as my main cleanser for over a year without issue. Bonus points its not a billion dollars and doesnt have any fragrance.
Vanicream : Cleansers
Gentle and super moisturizing without feeling greasy. Apply a generous amount post shower at night for best results.

The most affordable Hylauranic acid I have found with good quality ingredients
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - 1 fl oz - Ulta Beauty
My favorite oil to use while dermaplaning. I have sensitive skin so I really need something to help the blade glide while i dermaplane and this what I have used for over a year. One bottle will last me about 6 months. I do wash my face after as leavi...
Herbivore Emerald Hemp Seed Deep Moisture Glow Oil
My favorite hypochlorus acid spray. I like that this one does not have a strong smell so i use this a lot in the summer throughout the day to help me fight breakouts while I am sweating. They have a really convenient travel size bottle I refill.
SOS Save.Our.Skin Daily Rescue Facial Spray - Tower 28 Beauty
More budget frienly option for hypochlorus acid spray. I use this one at night before going to bed on my face and upper back (acne prone area for me). My husband says this one does have more of a bleach smell vs the tower 28 but I dont notice it too ...
SkinSmart Acne Facial Cleanser, 8 oz Spray
Fighting Fine Lines & Wrinkles
When used consistently these have shown to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and I love them! I’ll put them on after a shower at night and leave on for 15-20 min while I do my nightime routine.
Hydra-gel Patches
I have seen great results in the last month using this daily for fine lines around my eyes!
Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Skinjection™ Amplified Wrinkle-Fix Refillable ...
While some people are against injections I think they can be very helpful when introduced conservatively at the correct time. When you start to see resting lines that is when you should start getting some “baby tox” and see what you think. Start smal...
