For someone who is addicted to being bronzed and glowing, I find tanning products some of the most difficult to buy. Here are some products I have bought or am currently using and 100% recommend!
When I was younger, no one taught me how to take care of my skin. I was a minimalistic when it came to skincare. I thought moisturizer would be enough. Heck, I went some time without any moisturizer! (I don’t recommend) I also never wore sunscreen which I also do not recommend! No matter the age, always wear sunscreen!

My skin type: Normal to Combination Skin
A consistent skin care routine is essential to keep your skin looking strong and healthy but, it’s totally normal to start with just a few skincare basics. Most people gradually build their collection over time as they learn what works for their skin.
You don’t need a perfect routine to begin. Start small, stay consistent, and build from there—that’s what I did.
Note: All the products listed are products I have used or currently am using. Remember to use products for your skin-type.

Night Skincare steps: Face wash → Toner → Serum → Eye Serum (only around eye area if needed) → Moisturizer
Day: Face wash (only foam cleanser) → Rice toner → Sunscreen
Retinaldehyde or retinal (with an A not an O) is the strongest formulation available without a prescription. Only use 1 night in 3 to reduce irritation.
