I used to over-exfoliate my face with ten different trendy bottles until I wrecked my moisture barrier and had to simplify my bathroom shelf. Switching to a focused routine built around gentle cleansing balms, proven vitamin C and peptide serums, and rich ceramide barrier creams plus invisible daily sunscreen completely transformed my skin texture. These are my holy-grail formulas that never irritate or pill under makeup. Let me know your skin type in the comments if you want a recommendation! (This list contains affiliate links.

After quite a few years struggling with acne, acne scars, skin texture and dull skin, I can say that I have tried most skincare products out there, from high-end to drugstore options. I finally saw results when I simplified my routine and used basic, simple and clean products that, luckily, tend to be quite affordable. This list contains my actual skincare routine and a few alternatives depending on your skin type, but I ensure that if you are consistent you WILL see results!

Struggled with breakouts and finally found what works—this is the exact skincare that helped clear my skin. Every product in this list has been tested in my routine and chosen for real results, not hype. Whether you're dealing with acne, texture, or dullness, these are the staples that made a noticeable difference. Simple, effective, and worth it. (Dont use all of these, only one of each) - Go in order, Cleanse, Tone, Treat, Moisturise

Not everyone has the money to put towards high end and celebrity brand makeup products. I have stuck to drugstore makeup all my life and found that these products work just as good as their high end counterparts. Note: For the acne girlies not all of these products are noncomedogenic but these are products that do not heavily irritate my skin and have the least amount of irritating ingredients I have found while still being great products. If a product is fully noncomedogenic I will list it in the note below. If you have really sensitive skin and are concerned about the specific ingredients on a product please look a the list on the website before purchasing, you can also copy and paste them into an online ingredient checker that will do the work for you and tell you what is good and bad for your skin.
