Personal day products are absolutely amazing for those with acne prone skin. This recovery mask works amazingly to rehydrate and smooth, calm redness, and deeply cleanse your skin.

One of my absolute favourite ingredients in a face mask is rose. It smells so amazing and I feel it really soothes and calms my skin whit leaving it looking plump, healthy, and hydrated.

Most face washes have a habit of breaking me out, but Cerave (the not foaming) skin wash always makes my skin look so amazing and clear up any blemishes I have.
