MUST Haves

*bare minimum for my lazy and/or broke girls* (me too)

Apply morning and night after washing you face and using serums! Thick enough to feel hydrating while not so thick it feels like it’s just sitting on your skin.
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA - The Ordinary

Oil based cleanser, apply on DRY skin. I’m soooo lazy so I usually use this first thing in my shower at night so I don’t have to fuss with washcloths and wet arms 💀 Also so good at removing makeup 🙌
Squalane Cleanser | The Ordinary

Nighttime patches suck the gunk and repair the skin whereas daytime patches only soothe redness. Nighttime patches aren’t *completely* invisible but I wear them day and night and they work WONDERS
Spotted Nighttime - Original Hydrocolloid Patches

This lip balm has such a lovely thick formula that melts into your lips but lasts hours at a time and actually helps repair chapped lips. I often use it to prep my lips before applying lipliner to make it easier to blend!
Blistex Lip Medex Analgesic Lip Protectant

The EXTRAS

products I *love love love* but sometimes skip (lazyyy)

I use it once or twice a week at most. But it smells so good and feels so nice if you rub it gently in with a washcloth. The oil in is dissolves into your skin so well and it feels so luxe for only a small price tag and last FOREVER 🍓
Strawberry Face Polish

Any variation of Thayers witch hazel will be helpful, I just choose unscented to be extra careful to avoid irritation. It’s great with minimizing pores and clearing breakouts!
