🧼Facial Cleansers for Exfoliation
These are my usual go-to cleansers that remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities without stripping my sensitive skin. They are very simple and last a long time, so also a great buy for my sensitive skin.
First Step (oil-based cleanser): great first wash to remove makeup and sunscreen from your face. It doesn't actually foam up but it does slide onto your skin easily and removes mascara (even waterproof mascara) easily. I follow up with a moisturizing...
Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser - CeraVe
Step 2 (cleansing #2 for clearer skin): Lush has amazing face cleansers like Telling the Bees and Sleepy Bear. They are silky smooth and a great first step to your morning routines and in the shower or tub. Can be used daily as a second wash and they...
LUSH Telling The Bees Facial Gummy
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
🧴Skincare Routine for Redness & Dark Spots
These are the usual items I use to exfoliate my skin and then moisturize after.
Step 1 Option 1: 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 three times a week. It goes on like a toner and dries quickly.
Purito Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum
Step 1 Option 2: This is a much cheaper option Azelaic Acid, but both are great for toning skin, helping with acne, redness, and opening up pores.
NINE LESS Azelaic Acid Toner - Korean Cosmetics
Step 2 Option 1: This is an option after using Azelaic Acid but be careful because it's my strongest recommendation and the most expensive. Great for chemical exfoliation to combat acne scars and dark marks.
Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel - Dr. Dennis Gross
Step 2 Option 2: This is another cheaper option for exfoliation and it's moderate in its exfoliation so it's still easy on sensitive skin. Definitely don't use it close to Dr. Gross Peel wipes.
Gentle Exfoliating Peeling Serum with Niacinamide + Lactic Acid
Step 3: Extra option if you'd like to splurge on an amazing soothing moisturizer. It was a great splurge, looks beautiful, and smooths my skin after exfoliation.
LANEIGE Perfect Renew 3X Signature Serum
Moisturizer (low-tox option) this is a new moisturizer I've been trying to be more natural and use less chemicals. It doesn't disappoint and is a great moisturizer that goes on smoothly, even for sensitive skin. Great past step for my Tuesday and Thu...
SOS Barrier Recovery Cream - Tower 28 Beauty
👁️ Delicate Under Eye Care
These products help keep my under-eye area hydrated and comfortable while layering well with the rest of my routine. They are specifically chosen for my thin skin and NOT for dark pigmentation.
Step 5 (Eye Area): Targets under eye circles due to thinning skin. Light and easy to use. Great for use on eyes with thin skin and NOT skin pigment.
Target Multi-Peptide Eye Serum for Dark Circles
I will layer a small amount under The Ordinary eye serum to help moisturize, lock in the peptides, and strengthen the skin barrier for my delicate under eye skin.
Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream - Biossance
