Facial Skincare
(Sensitive Skin, Budget-Friendly Option) 2nd step in morning routine to brighten my skin, neck, and back of hands. A light liquid formula that goes on easily. My skin is getting so clear I look like I need a tan. Keep clear of eyes because it's not g...
The INKEY List 15% Vitamin C & EGF Serum
Last step daily for EVERY morning, even if it's raining. I went mineral because it's the best for both UVA (anti-aging rays) and UVB (burn rays). It also starts to work instantly whereas chemical sunscreens take up to 20 minutes.
Daily Facial Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40
A gift from a family member who bought it in Japan. An unusually cheap recommendation for a weekly cleanser to smooth skin, but be careful not to use with other BHA or acidic creams later.
Red Foam Cleanser - medicube us
Dermatologist-recommended after workouts or anytime you sweat. I put some into a small spray bottle to take with me in my gym bag. It's great to reduce breakouts on your face, back, or anywhere.
Hypochlorous Acid Spray for Face & Skin 8oz
I primarily use Aquaphor for hydrating my under eyes that have thin skin, but it's also great for dry skin in the winter. Perfect for sensitive skin and has a million uses.
Aquaphor Healing Balm Stick with Avocado Oil
Great deal for a gentle exfoliator that smooths out your skin and fights redness and acne. It's great on my sensitive skin and I use it twice a week.
Purito Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum
This is an optional cleanser after the oil-based cleanser to get more exfoliation, but be careful to use it more than once a week if you have sensitive skin. A little goes a long way and such a great deal!
SEPHORA Super Glow Cleansing Powder
In the morning I usually "wash" with only water and a 100% cotton face cloth. Dermatologists say if you have sensitive, non-oily skin you don't need to wash your face in the morning.

Body Must-Haves
A budget-friendly hair scrub that really helps my scalp and hair feel clean and look incredibly clean. I use this weekly as my self-care Friday routine that makes me feel fresh and clean from a long week of teaching.
Mielle Rosemary Mint Clarifying Sugar Scalp Scrub 6 oz
This slow tanner is great for building a tan and has brightens in it as well. Smells great and goes on easily. I prefer this one over the Firming one because my husband is allergic to the smell. Pro tip: wash your hands well after so as not over-tan ...
Natural Glow + Brighten Daily Moisturizer - Jergens
Great tongue scraper for long-term use. Love the added travel case. A must for anyone who works closely with other people, especially a teacher!
