I know all too well the struggles of trying to achieve clear skin. I started my skincare journey over 5 years ago, and I thought I'd share some of the holy grail products I have come across. Like the list title states, I have the holy trinity of skin problems :'( So trust and believe whatever worked for me is highly likely to work for you. And just a general rule of thumb I've learned is if a product is FA safe, it's most likely everything else safe too!
I get asked my recommendations and these products are a few of my fav skincare and body care products as there’s a lot of trial and error when it comes to building personalized skincare routines. All of these products are triple checked non comedogenic, acne safe, and perfect for those with combo, sensitive skin who react similarly to my skin. I hope you all enjoy!
Over-exfoliating, aggressive retinoids, and stacking actives leave your skin stinging, red, or breaking out.

My sister did my wedding day makeup and we tested products for MONTHS to find the perfect combination. I went for a natural rosy look that had coverage to last me through pictures in the July heat, ceremony, dinner, and dancing. I didn’t want to drop hundred of dollars on products, so majority of the items on this list and drugstore and extremely affordable. The few things that aren’t, are because I tried drugstore alternatives and decided it was worth the money.
For coloring context, I have fair skin with cool, pink undertones, freckles, and auburn hair.
If money didn’t exist - this would be everything that I would purchase from the Sephora Sale! From scents to skin and makeup.. submerge me in all of these products <3
