Cleanse
Skincare I've used both in Indonesia and the UK, for both my face and body, to keep my skin hydrated
Cetaphil Products
Viral for a reason! Effortlessly melts away stubborn makeup and blackheads without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue.
Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil - Anua
It's been my everyday face cleanser (and for my body occasionally) for years. I’ve used this in both Indonesia and the UK, and it’s one of those simple products I repurchased
Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser Hydrating 20oz
Affordable yet effective in wiping away the dirt from the face
Garnier Micellar Water
Hydrate & Moisturize
One of the best hydration boosters to use in both tropical and 4-season-country. Lightweight like water but deeply moisturizing. Left my skin so plump and nourished.
I'm From Rice Toner
My skin’s savior to get through UK's winter. Keeps both my face and body deeply hydrated and protected against harsh, dry winter. Still use it now in Indonesia
Cetaphil Lotion
Treat & Correct
I started using this mainly for my dark acne marks, and I was honestly impressed by how much they faded with consistent use, also simultaneously brightened my skin. It’s simple, affordable, and easy to fit into my everyday routine.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
It really helped brighten my skin and fade the look of my dark acne marks. But please be careful since it’s quite strong, especially if you’re not used to active ingredients. Start slow and don’t overdo it!
The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Exfoliating Peeling Solution
I use this as a targeted spot treatment directly on my dark spots, and it works well for fading hyperpigmentation from post-acne marks
AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum
Protect
Everyday sun protection staple. Lightweight, non-greasy, and keeps the skin hydrated while shielding from UV rays
Sunscreen and SPF Moisturizers | Skincare
One of my favourite products from Biore. It is lightweight, comfortable, and reliable. Protects face daily without heavy and greasy feel.
Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+
Waterproof SPF spray for face and body, packed with Hyaluronic Acid and antioxidants, absorbs quickly with a clear, comfortable finish that keeps your skin protected and hydrated
Eucerin Advanced Hydration Sunscreen Spray SPF 50
Mask
Emergency hydration fix! I’ve tried it before and loving how fresh, plump, and hydrated my skin felt afterward. There are tons of variants, so there’s pretty much one for every skin concern
Mediheal Sheet Masks
The first clay mask I tried and really liked! It leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean, especially when my pores feel clogged
Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask
Lip Care
A classic that just works when my lips feel dry. This was especially useful for me during colder, drier days in the UK.
Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips
Another favourite lip balm! Effective at keeping my lips moisturized in the tropical weather of Indonesia or the cold, dry air in the UK. The best part is that it also comes in an SPF variant
Nivea Lip Balm
