These are the skincare products (plus a couple that are basically skincare disguised as makeup) that I keep stocked in my bathroom and return to again and again. If you're looking for a mix of value, mid-range, and splurge-y MVPs that are worth the i...
My most beloved cleanser has finally come home from the war!! Once upon a time, Angels on Bare Skin was one true love, but then I connected with Buche one holiday season and my life was forever changed. When they left this out of the holiday collecti...
Bûche de Noël | Cleanser
Ok, is she technically my #2 after Buche de Noel? Well, yes. But Buche is only around for a few months out of the year, and we need cleansed skin for a full 365. And honestly, we're talking maybe two-tenths of a point in rating difference here. So sl...
Angels on Bare Skin | Herbal Face Exfoliator & Cleanser
Everybody loves her for a reason!! Tower 28 really is that girl. Pro tip (or maybe this is a common sense tip that everyone else knew and I was just ignorant to the ways of the toner world): Make sure you let this dry completely, as other products ca...
SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid
An oldie but a goodie. A gentle workhorse of a toner. She clocks in to do her job with no muss or fuss. This used to be my only toner, but now I use it after Tower 28 so I can have my skin be a little damp for optimizing my serums.
Breath Of Fresh Air
My holy grail serum. As a bright winter girlie with fair skin that's pretty reactive, I depend on Dr. Jart to help me keep the redness at bay.
Cicapair™ Sensitive Skin Serum for Redness and Barrier Repair - Dr. Jart
I love the jelly-like consistency of this serum. It's wonderfully refreshing and hydrating without being too heavy or dewy, and the green tint is yet another friend in my constant efforts to calm redness.
Green Machine Vitamin C Serum | Targets Dark Spots & Dullness
Yes, she's a little pricey, but all you need is a little dab, and one bottle will last for months. Eye cream is the one splurge I've held firm to over the years, and so far? It's paying off.
Auto Correct Brightening + Depuffing Eye Cream
This is the first moisturizer I've found that works for me all year round. I spent years looking for a moisturizer that I would purchase more than once or twice, and this one is the reigning champ. Another product where a little goes a long way; I or...
Ceramidin™: Skin Barrier Repair with Ceramides | Dr.Jart+
I use this every morning and night and even keep one on my desk for extra hydration throughout the day! The rainbow sherbet and matcha flavors are recent faves, but you can't go wrong with ol' faithful aka grapefruit.
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
A former-friend-turned-cautionary-tale introduced me to this sunscreen and while our friendship crumbled, this sunscreen and I will soon be celebrating our sixth anniversary together. I literally buy it four tubes at a time because I'm not taking any...
Broad Spectrum Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin
I cannot stress enough the importance of allowing this to fully set before moving on to any other products. The first time I used this, I made the mistake of just jumping right to using the Minimalist stick immediately after…big mistake. Huge. I thou...
The Uniform
The Uniform's bestie. Provided you've given The Uniform time to breathe and get cozy, this wonder stick will handle all the finishing touches.
