My holy grail for smooth, glowy skin. A few shakes of this rice powder with water gives the gentlest morning polish. I buy the big size!

The only cleanser I'll ever need. Gentle enough for every single morning and it never leaves my skin tight. I always grab the big bottle!

A tiny dab under each eye. Ginseng + retinal brightens my dark circles so I look awake even on 6 hours of sleep 👀

A quick mist of Dermalogica's Multi-Active Toner right after cleansing. Preps my skin so my serum sinks in better 💧

My daytime glow booster! A few drops before moisturizer and my skin looks so much brighter and more even. Such a good price for a vitamin C too.

On no-makeup days this is my last step. Tinted SPF 50 that evens me out and still looks like skin.

The OG glow mist 🌹 I keep one on my desk and spritz it midday to wake up my skin and my makeup. Smells like fresh roses.

My calm-down spray for when my skin is being dramatic. Soothes redness in seconds and I spritz it on before moisturizer so everything absorbs better.

My moisturizer on extra dry mornings. The PDRN capsules melt in and leave my skin bouncy and glassy all day.

My everyday SPF. Dewy finish, zero white cast, and it doubles as a moisturizer on lazy mornings. Worth every penny.
