So moisturizing without clogging or causing breakouts. I even add this to my body wash for extra hydration all over.

I use these about 3 times a week. If I know I’m going to do a full face up makeup, these exfoliate and bring a glow to my skin, making my makeup lay beautifully on top.

Moist (not wet) skin absorbs products better and helps lock in moisture. I spray my face with thermal water or beauty elixir before starting my skin care, or between some layers if my skin needs extra hydration.

The key to layering your skincare is to flood the skin with light weight products. This has the consistency of water, but is deeply soothing. My skin felt softer after the first use. I apply 2-3 layers of this.

This is THE serum you need for beautiful, glowy skin. It helps with acne, dark spots, and fine lines. I notice a difference in my skin when I run out of this product and always like to keep it on hand. I’ve gone through at least 6 bottles.

My holy grail moisturizer. I have acne/clog prone skin and this very breaks me out. It’s beautiful and glowy under makeup, and moisturizing enough to use at night as well.

Make sure to use sunscreen to protect against sun damage! I prefer mineral sunscreens as most chemical sunscreens break me out. This one has a very thin, water-like consistency that I like because it never feels too heavy on the skin.
