Moisturizer
I really love this moisturizer! My skin tends to get dry especially during winter, and this keeps it feeling soft and hydrated without feeling too heavy. Definitely one of my favorites for keeping my skin barrier happy!
Aestura Atobarrier365 Cream
I love using this before makeup! It keeps my skin feeling hydrated without being too heavy, and helps my makeup go on smoothly. Such a nice moisturizer for prepping the skin!
S. NATURE – Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream
Sunscreen
My all-time favorite sunscreen! It’s super lightweight, not sticky at all, and absorbs really quickly into my skin! I love how comfortable it feels for everyday use. Definitely one I’ll keep repurchasing!
ROUND LAB Birch Juice Moisturizing UV Sunscreen
Such a good sunscreen for the price! It’s moisturizing, lightweight, and feels comfortable on the skin. Definitely a great affordable option for everyday use!!
Goodal Heartleaf Soothing Moisture Sunscreen
Serum & Toner
I love this serum! It really helped fade my dark spots from old acne marks and made my skin tone look more even. Definitely worth trying if you’re struggling with post-acne dark spots!
I also recommend the toner pad version. I love that you can use the pads like mini sheet masks by leaving them on areas with dark spots for a few minutes. Such an easy way to add extra care to your skincare routine!
Numbuzin – No.5+ Glutathione Vitamin Concentrated Toner Pad
Sheet Mask
Love this for when my skin needs some extra hydration. It leaves the skin looking plump, smooth, and glowy. You can leave it on overnight and wake up with that fresh, dewy look. Such a nice addition to a self-care night!
Biodance Collagen Sheet Mask
You can never go wrong with this one. I love using it the night before or in the morning before doing my makeup. Such a nice way to prep my skin!
Torriden Dive In Sheet Mask
Another sheet mask option! I personally use this one and love how hydrated my dry skin feels afterward.
MEDIHEAL Essential Face Mask
Cleanser
If you love cleansing oils, you should definitely try this one. It melts away makeup and sunscreen so easily without leaving your skin feeling dry. Plus, it feels super lightweight on the skin!
Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
This one is literally a legend! It’s been around for years and still such a good cleanser!! I love how it cleans my skin without leaving it feeling too dry or tight.
