Gentle Makeup Removers I have in my shelf!
This is a gentle makeup remover option that feels like a lightweight lotion
Take It Away Makeup Remover Lotion - Estée Lauder
This is a gentle makeup remover that I use for my eyes and face. It’s shake before use and doesn’t feel like a heavy oil at all.
Lancôme - Bi-Facil Double Action Eye Makeup Remover
This is a great makeup remover for people with sensitive skin!
Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips - Clinique | Ulta Beauty
Cleansing Balms & Cleansors
I love using these cleansing balms to start my day or take off my full glam makeup. These cleansing balms fully remove my makeup and any impurities on my skin. I end up doing a double cleanse if I use this to remove my makeup or use a face cleanser!
This cleansing balm melts away my makeup and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. I've gone through 3 of these cleansing balms already!
Pro-Collagen Original Cleansing Balm - ELEMIS
Another favorite by Elemis, I love how nourishing these balms are to my skin. Any of these are also amazing at removing makeup, just gently on the skin and massage in a circular motion. Rinse off with warm water or wipe off using a damp towel!
Rose Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm - ELEMIS
If a loved one gave this to you, they weren't wrong. A Lancôme face cleansor really is that girl. I've gone through a few of these. This one is really gentle on the skin. I love the mousse to a gentle foam formula.
Crème Mousse Confort Creamy Foaming Cleanser - Lancôme
I like using this in the shower or as another face cleansing option. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and glowing.
The Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser - TATCHA
If you like the quality of Tatcha products, but prefer a fragrance and soap free cleansing option, I recommend the matcha cleansor! This cleansor helps clean out your pores and helps balance the oils on your face without drying your skin.
The Matcha Cleanse Daily Clarifying Gel Cleanser - TATCHA
Toners
Toners that I’ve been using before serums!
This is a beautiful milky toner for the skin to even out my skin’s barrier and smooths out my skin tone. I like to use this before a moisturizer for my makeup looks.
ILIA - The Base Face Milk Facial Essence + Lightweight Moisturizer
This is an excellent affordable option for a milky toner before serums and moisturizers. Sometimes I prefer this one for my nighttime skin routine over my more expensive toners just because it feels a little more watery than others.
Hydrating Milky Toner - BYOMA
I've loved recommending this milky toner to anyone who wants extta hydration for their skin prep. Every person with dry skin has loved this one or the ilia one I have listed as well!
Cream Skin Milky Toner with Ceramides & Peptides for Nourishing Hydration - LANEIGE
Serums
Serums are essential before moisturizers for better results!
I love applying this serum after my toner and before my moisturizer. This seriously has firmed my skin when I use it consistently!
Pro-Collagen Future Restore Serum - ELEMIS
I enjoy using this serum because it gives my skin excellent radiance and helps moisturize my skin, especially when I follow it up with the 100h clinique moisture surge.
Clinique Moisture Surge Active Glow Serum with Hyaluronic Acid
One of my favorite face serums. This leaves my face so glowy and smooth. This works as a primer for my makeup as well!
Youth To The People - Superfood Skin Drip Smooth + Glow Barrier Serum
Retinols
Only use these at night and follow up with an spf moisturizer the next day to avoid breakouts!
Retinol is an excellent serums to get started on anti-aging products. I think this is an excellent option for beginners that want to get into stronger products for mature skin. Use this serum once a week before applying for night cream. This is best ...
The INKEY List - Starter Retinol Serum for Fine lines + Wrinkles
I love a Murad retinol serum before applying my night time moisturizer. This helped my pores shrink and the results were overnight, it was amazing to see the results!
Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum
Moisturizers
A lot of these are great for day and night, unless said in their title!
This is a daily moisturizer I use for my skin before I apply my makeup! This leaves always leaves my skin hydrated and smooth. If you have acne / oily skin I recommend the 72h version of this for a less sticky and overwhelming feeling for the face.
Clinique - Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator Gel
My daily face cream with spf! This is used after the pro-collagen serum that I use by Elemis as well!
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30
This is one my favorite night creams I use in my rotation. If I use my elemis serum, then I’ll go with this cream after.
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Hydrating Night Cream
I’ve been loving this peptide cream! It feels very soft and lightweight on the skin. The more I use it the better results I’ve been seeing my fine lines get more plump.
Peter Thomas Roth - Peptide Skinjection Moisture Infusion Cream
Eye Creams
Eye creams help keep my under eyes hydrated and more full.
I love using this eye cream for day and night! It’s a gel texture so it feels nice and cooling on my under eyes. The stick packaging has been convenient for when I’m rushing too!
belif Aqua Bomb Depuffing Eye Gel with Caffeine + Hyaluronic Acid
This is an excellent option if you happen to be using the inkey list skincare products and want to stick to a single brand’s routine, which I also agree with! It contains caffeine which is a known ingredient to help de-puff and lighten dark circles.
The INKEY List - Caffeine De-puffing + Dark Circle Eye Cream
This is a great eye cream by Clinique that leaves my under eyes hydrated.
