face
I use this serum every morning and night after I wash my face. It keeps my skin hydrated and maximizes my moisturizer!
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
Niacinamide goes on after the hyaluronic acid. It levels my skin tone and keeps me looking fresh
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
La Roche Posay has never failed me. This stuff keeps me moisturized all day. The added spf is the best so I don't have to apply sunscreen on top of my moisturizer keeping everything lightweight.
La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30
You can never go wrong with Aquaphor. I use this on my lips, on my eyelids, anywhere that is abnormally dry, and it keeps me moisturized all day. I like the consistency of Aquaphor for my body because it is lighter than other petroleum jellies.
Aquaphor
In the mornings, I use Vaseline on my lips because the thickness of it ensures that it stays on all day. I particularly like this rose one because it gives my lips a little tint. I also like the shea butter one.
Vaseline® Lip Therapy® Rosy Mini
This night cream is essential for my night-time routine. At night, I don't love the feeling of a heavy moisturizer, especially one with spf in it. This is why I love this No7 cream because it is water-based and super lightweight. My skin drinks it up...
Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Night Cream
I think that it is important to have just a basic water-based cleanser. The basic ones seem to work the best for me without throwing off my skin.
Gentle Skin Cleanser
Double cleansing is a must!! A basic oil cleanser like this one is a game changer for stripping pores and keeping your skin clear.
Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser
When the acne is flaring up, instead of using an oil cleanser for double cleansing, I use this for the benzoyl peroxide. It helps clear my acne in a few days and keeps them painless. I also like to use this anywhere I have acne that is not on my face...
PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Foaming Wash - 5.5oz
Y'all. It does not matter where you get this from, but gua sha and jade rollers are game changers. I like using my gua sha in the shower with my face wash for some slip and my jade roller at night before bed. Just having something cold massage your f...
BAIMEI IcyMe Jade Roller & Gua Sha Set
body
I like to have subtle-smelling moisturizers and soaps so that I can effectively scent stack, and EOS fresh + cozy is one of my go-tos because it has a good scent that is not overpowering. On top of that, this moisturizer keeps my skin soft all day.
Shea Better Fresh & Cozy Body Lotion
When I do want more of a scent out of the shower, I will go for this pomegranate raspberry. I love the fruity fresh scent. Perfect for the summer!
Shea Better Body Lotion by eos - Pomegranate Raspberry
When I am going out, I like to use this Dove spray antiperspirant. Yes, it does have aluminum in it, but sometimes you need these chemicals for it to be effective. I like this one because it doesn't leave any white cast on your body and it doesn't tr...
Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirants
Again, I like to keep my scents subtle, so these basic Jergens lotions are perfect. The thickness of each of these are perfect for the winter when I get a bit more dry. It is also an amazing base to layer scents.
JERGENS® Dry Skin Moisturisers
As someone who hates the feel of deodorant, this is a game changer. If I am not going out anywhere, instead of deodorant, I will use baby powder on my underarms. Not only does it keep my pits dry, it also keeps them smelling fresh. There are also no ...
Johnson's® Baby Powder
This stuff is my holy grail. It has evened out my skin tone so well!! I use it especially on my knees and elbows which are darker, and it has made the hyperpigmentation less harsh over time. I love this stuff so much.
Bio-Oil
Anything upwards of spf 50 is great for everyday. In the summer, I like to go above 70. I like SunBum because it isn't too heavy and the scent isn't horribly sickly. It also doesn't leave a super harsh white-cast like most sunscreens above spf 50
Broad Spectrum SPF & Water Resistant Sunscreen
I like the EOS shaving creams because they are moisturizing and not harsh at all. Any scent is good and it doesn't linger much so there is no irritation. It keeps my skin soft and helps make a clean shave.
eos Shave Cream
I like the simple Dove body washes because they just get the job done. They are inexpensive and a good option for now!
Dove Body Wash in Body Wash
Okay yes I do like Dove. It is inexpensive but effective. This body scrub is amazing because it doesn't melt like other sugar scrubs. This particular one also makes me smell like chocolate it's amazing.
Brown Sugar & Coconut Butter Body Scrub
Ok guys, seriously, please use wash cloths when you are in the shower. Scrub your body clean with these- I promise you will feel so clean and soft after. It is better than a loofah and you don't have to replace them so much.
Washcloths in Bath Towels(1000+)
Bic razors have been pretty good for me, especially the 5-blade ones. They get the job done and cut close to skin.

This scent is actually so nostalgic for me. It is very floral and smells very fresh. I need more, I ran out :(
Estée Lauder Pleasures Eau de Parfum Spray
Ms. Bella Hadid I love you. This is my favorite scent of all time as someone who likes earthy, musky scents. This is a strong scent that lasts HOURS which is amazing. I also love how it is essential oil based so it isn't irritating and you can even u...
BLOOMING FIRE PARFUM
I really like this scent because it is super fresh and keeps you smelling good all day. A great scent to use for layering.
