Skin Care I Swore I Didn’t Need (But Now Buy On the Regular)
12
items Tried, tested, and repurchased. I try to keep things affordable but, I do love a splurge every now and then. Anything that is pricey on the list is because I have fully integrated it into my daily life and they have been worth the cost.

I never was a big body care person but adding this to my routine has made my everyday more positive. I’m trying to romanticize little moments of my day and these products really help me feel a little bit more luxurious.
I hated that I loved it as much as I did because of the price but, she really is that girl. Not sure about the cellulite claim but I love it as a body oil. Melts into my skin and helps with my itchy legs after I shave. Completely transformed my post ...
Sea Sculpt Body Oil for Firmness & Cellulite with Algae + Moringa - MARA | Sephora
Only lotion I’ve bought for years! It’s simple but reliable and hydrates great. The 16 oz lasts between 5-6 months for me. I’m definitely not helping myself here but, don’t grab it from Sephora. I try to wait until Amazon prime days to stock up. You ...
Crème de Corps Hydrating Body Lotion with Squalane - Kiehl's Since 1851 | Sephora
I know, I know, what’s this doing under skin care. But I swear it’s helped with my cellulite! Ten minutes every morning. Don’t expect to lose weight but do expect to feel more energized at the start of the day and after a month of consistency, your l...

Face
After 35, consistent skin care has been key to helping my skin age gracefully. These products have helped me push out Botox and other treatments for just a bit longer. (Although, I’m always opened to getting recommendations for cosmetic treatments/pr...
Lip care is skin care! Only lip balm you’ll need. I put this on at night and wake up with some product still on my lips. This replaced Tatcha on my bedside table and Laneige in my purse. Since using it, chapped lips have been a thing of the past. The...
Le Chouchou Exfoliating + Softening Peptide Lip Balm
Ok, so this one hasn’t been repurchased yet. Keyword being yet because I definitely will. I feel like this combined with my vitamin c serum has changed my skin for the better. The wrinkles on my forehead have been significantly reduced and it’s helpe...
Volufiline 92% + Pal-Isoleucine 1% Plumping Serum - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
I got this because I wasn’t ready to commit to the $185 skin ceutical that my friend recommended. For the first time in years, my skin has been glowy and looks hydrated. I thought I lost that after my mid-30s. I might one day grab the expensive origi...
20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum
After 35, foundation just hasn’t looked the same but 2-3 drops of this and it glides on. I first tried it when my friend gave it to me because she couldn’t use it anymore when she got pregnant. She was so sad about having to give it up and let me tel...
Luminous CBD Facial Oil
Definition of who says skin care has to be expensive because for the price, this little bottle LASTS. Hydrates my skin while adding a nice glow. On cold winter days though, I do layer it with another lotion or face oil (fave is in the list!) on top. ...
3.52 oz Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream - COSRX | Ulta Beauty
I’ve been using this since I was a teenager. I’ve tried to find a replacement but nothing lasts as long. Although, if you have recommendations, I’m all ears! This is one of those products that I’m always trying to breakup with because I feel like I c...
Mini Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado - Kiehl's Since 1851 | Sephora
Who hasn’t tried gua sha at this point?! It really is a game changer for puffy, round faces like mine. My favorite is stainless steel because it’s easier to clean but also, it’s a nice to have, not a need to do this routine. I use my fingers all the ...
Skin Gym Stainless Steel Gua Sha
Hair Care
This is my most vulnerable section. My hair started thinning in my 20s with no family history. After countless doctors with the same answer of “try to stress less” I had given up on it. But last year I decided to invest in my hair and started PRP (Pl...
After using this consistently along with my PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatments, I’ve had hair growth and improved density. It’s been a slow process but after a year, I’m starting to see results. This is 100% an investment. I will say though that a...
iRESTORE Professional
I’ve been using this consistently since it came out alongside my red light helmet and I really like it but I’m not sure if it would work as well without the red light. I still recommend it though because without a serum, the red light irritates my sc...
