Everyone needs niacinamide in their routine, and this has to be my favourite affordable one out there. This serum melts into the skin and has really helped fade my acne scars

Another one of my Inkey-List favourites! My skin is very sensitive to retinol, but this one is gentle enough to not irritate me. This has done wonders to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles around my eyes and mouth

Every skincare lover needs a sunscreen. I recently discovered korean sunscreens, and let me tell you, they are the best! This one has no white-cast and blends perfectly into the skin. My favourite part is the healthy glow it gives me.
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics 50mL | OLIVE YOUNG Global
Double cleansing is a must, especially if you have makeup on. My favourite cleansing balm is this one by Banila Co. I find cleansing balms easier to work with than cleansing oils, and this doesn't leave a residue.
BANILA CO Clean It Zero Original Cleansing Balm 100mL | OLIVE YOUNG Global
I got this cleanser as a gift a few years ago and I've been purchasing it ever since! I use this cleanser every morning. It's gentle and helps balance your skins pH level. Every skincare lover needs a gentle morning cleanser :)
COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
This toner is so silky and hydrating! My favourite way to use this is fresh out of the shower when my skin is still slightly damp. It's been a life saver, especially during Canadian winters when my skin is super dry.
BYOMA Hydrating Milky Toner - 5.07 fl oz
Who doesn't love skincare accessories? These are crucial for the morning. I use these when I wake up with bags under my eyes. The ice helps soothe and calm the puffiness, and the coldness wakes me up for the day. :)

If you're looking for a gift set, this hydration one from The Ordinary is my fav. I got this for my sister last year and she's been using this set as part of her daily routine. We both suffer from dry skin, especially in the winter and this kit reall...
The Daily Hydration Set

Nothing is more annoying than bangs in your face when you're trying to do skincare. This headband from kitsch is super soft. It keeps my hair out of my face so my bangs don't get greasy when I'm doing my skincare routine :)
Recycled Fabric Cloud Headband 1pc - Black
Every skincare junkie needs a gua-sha massager. I use this at night to help drain the fluid in my face. When I wake up, my jaw and cheeks are less puffy if I incorporate regular gua-sha massages into my routine.
The Jade Gua Sha
Nobody should be without pimple patches! I love these ones from hero cosmetics because they dont fall off. I've taken showers with them on and they havent slipped off my face. Perfect gift for skincare fanatics.
Mighty Patch™ Original patch
For the price of this you really can't go wrong. Especially combined with the ice globes, this stuff does wonders for my dark circles. The caffeine also helps you feel more awake.
The INKEY List Caffeine Eye Cream
Bubble seriously makes the cutest products. I got this as a gift from my aunt and I've been obsessed ever since. The applicator makes it super easy to apply, and prevents you from sticking dirty hands into the container. Always leaves my skin feeling...

Nothing makes me feel more pampered than a sheet mask. These ones from sephora come in a variety of treatment options, so you can really customize this gift to fit someone's routine. My favourite is the Coconut one.
