items I've always had good skin, but it's also really sensitive — so for the longest time I was too scared to try anything new in case it messed with what was already working. It took me a while to actually build a routine because of that. These are the br...

Summer Fridays
My go-to brand for travel and tired-skin days — everything from them earns a permanent spot in my bag.
My go to for any time I’m traveling on an airplane. A LIFE SAVER for dry skin!!
Jet Lag Mask ® + Moisturizer
Good for brightening under-eyes when I haven't slept enough. 15 minutes and there's a real difference.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Hydrating Eye Patches
My favorite exfoliating wipes! As someone who does not have too many pores I don't have to exfoliate too often but when I do (2-3 times a week) these are some of my favorites (Dr. Dennis Wipes also amazing, these are a little more affordable)
Gentle Reset Daily Exfoliating Pads to Smooth + Minimize Pores with AHAs - Summer Fridays
My everyday go-to — lightweight with just the right amount of dewy glow, without feeling heavy.
Cloud Dew Gel Cream Moisturizer - Summer Fridays
The best vitamin C serum I've tried, hands down. So many others go on thick and cakey, but this one is perfectly lightweight.
CC Me Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum - Summer Fridays
Rhode
Simple, effective, glass-skin in a bottle — my current everyday hydration obsession.
My every day, twice a day product — right after washing my face and before the rest of my routine. Completely obsessed, it's non-negotiable at this point.
Glazing Milk Hydrating Ceramide Facial Essence - rhode
My go-to before bed. Not as thick as a lip mask, but still hydrates overnight without feeling heavy — and the flavors are genuinely good too.
Peptide Lip Treatment Nourishing Glaze - rhode
The last step in my routine, always. If I'm doing makeup, I spray before and after for the perfect glowy finish. Love this one so much.
Glazing Mist Hydrating Face Spray - rhode
Tatcha
Not cheap, but worth every penny — the kind of splurge that actually delivers.
My pick when I want a bit more of a thick, dewy glow on my skin — richer than my everyday moisturizer.
The Dewy Skin Cream Plumping & Hydrating Moisturizer - Tatcha
My favorite cleanser hands-down for getting makeup off — soft on skin but actually does the job.
The Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser - Tatcha
The most lightweight hydrating cream I've ever used — my go-to when I want a cooling, light layer instead of anything heavy.
The Water Cream Oil-Free Pore Minimizing Moisturizer - Tatcha
My pick for when lips are really dry — thick formula, but genuinely effective at fixing chapped lips fast.
The Kissu Lip Mask - Tatcha
My go-to during colder months when my skin gets extra dry. I also use it on fine lines and areas prone to wrinkles for a little extra care.
The Serum Stick: Treatment & Touch Up Balm - Tatcha
First Aid Beauty
My go-to for gentle, effective basics — great starting point if you're easing into actives without irritating your skin.
A great entry point if you're new to retinol or not super acne-prone — low enough strength to ease in without overwhelming your skin.
Ultra Repair Retinol Complex Serum with 0.3% Retinol Complex + Peptides - First Aid Beauty
My budget-friendly dupe for Dr. Dennis Gross and Summer Fridays wipes. Not quite as strong, but a solid save if you want the glow without the price tag — though if I'm splurging, I still reach for Summer Fridays first since it's cheaper than Dr. Denn...
Facial Radiance Pads - First Aid Beauty
My favorite winter moisturizer, especially for the holidays back on the East Coast — thick, rich, and exactly what dry winter skin needs, day or night.
Ultra Repair® Cream Intense Hydration - First Aid Beauty
Misc.
This is my catch-all for the random stuff I'm obsessed with, from little life upgrades to whatever I can't stop recommending to people. If it's not skincare, books, or food, it's probably in here.
Amazing product, pretty expensive — this one's usually a treat rather than an everyday staple for me, but it's incredibly effective.
