Daily Routine
Staple in my daily routine. Gentle, effective, and one of those products I don’t skip anymore. If you stay consistent, you will definitely notice difference in dak spots.
Farmacy- Toner Brighten Up 3% TXA Toner
This has been one of those moisturizers I keep going back to. It feels rich but not heavy, and my skin just feels comfortable and hydrated after. I rotate it depending on how dry my skin is, but it’s been a really solid, reliable option in my routine...
Belif - The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb with Peptide and Ceramide
I use this on days when my redness is acting up. It helps even things out without heavy makeup. Not something I use daily, but helpful when my skin looks irritated.
Dr Jart- Cicapair™: Skincare for Sensitive Skin and Redness | Dr.Jart+
This is part of my long-term texture and acne plan. It’s strong, so I use it carefully and gradually build it. Definitely not instant results this one is more of a patience game for long term benefits.
Tretinoin 0.025% Cream 20 Gram
I use this at night and always notice how soft my skin feels the next morning. Hydrating, calming, and worth it.
Estée Lauder - Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex
I use this when my skin feels dull or tired. It gives that hydrated, plump look the next morning. Not life-changing for me, but a really nice boost when my barrier needs some extra love.
Laneige- Water Sleeping Mask - Overnight Hydrating Face Mask
Cleanser/Face Wash
I was looking to replace my La Roche-Posay cleanser, and this has been a really nice swap. It makes my skin feel clean and fresh but softer. I’m still figuring out if I prefer luxe cleansers long term, but I do enjoy this one.
Tatcha- The Rice Wash Soft Cream Cleanser
This was my everyday cleanser for a long time. It foams nicely, makes my skin feel super clean, and helps keep oil under control without irritation. I still go back to it when my skin feels congested.
La Roche Posay- Effaclar Gel Facial Wash for Oily Skin
Foundations
I’ve repurchased this every time because it looks like real skin. Lightweight, smooth, and wears well throughout the day
Nars-Soft Matte Complete Foundation
Classic full-coverage foundation with a matte finish that controls oil and blurs texture. Great for oily skin days when you want total coverage that lasts. It’s buildable (so you can go light or full glam), and the shade range is huge. It’s not a “cl...
Best paired with a light primer and setting spray if you’re oily.

Mac Studio Fix- Full Coverage Foundation
Sheer coverage + mineral SPF in one step. Feels more like skincare than foundation and gives a dewy finish. Best for everyday wear; may need light powder if you’re oily.
ILIA Skye Serum- Skin Tint SPF 40
Hydrating gel-cream tint with mineral SPF. Smooths tone without feeling heavy and works well for sensitive skin.
bareMinerals Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30
Long-wear matte foundation that resists heat and oil. Great for long events or humid weather
Estée Lauder - Full Coverage- Stay-in-Place Foundation
Rich, full-coverage concealer with a matte finish that holds up well on oily skin. This formula is buildable, so you can use it lightly for everyday under-eye brightening or layer it on blemishes for more coverage.
It doesn’t crease easily and plays nicely with most foundations, making it a reliable budget pick when you want coverage that lasts without feeling heavy. Works especially well when set with a light powder if your skin gets shiny throughout the day.

NYXX Can't Stop Won't Stop 24HR Full Coverage Matte Concealer
Sunscreen (Adult and kids)
I like this under makeup. It smooths the skin and doesn’t leave a cast. Not my “beach day” SPF, but great for normal days out.
Supergoop- Cast free cream- Bestselling Sunscreen
This is my “long outdoor day” sunscreen. It’s more protective and I reach for it when I know I’ll be outside for hours.
La Roche Posay- Melt-In Milk Sunscreen for Face & Body SPF 100
Lightweight and easy to layer under makeup. No white cast, which I really appreciate, especially for medium or dark skin tones.
Comfortable enough for daily use.
Kiehls- Broad Spectrum Facial Sunscreens- No white Cast
This is one I feel comfortable using on my child. It’s mineral-based and made for sensitive skin, which gives me peace of mind. It can leave a slight white cast at first, but I just blend it in well. I use this on longer outdoor days when I want soli...
Blue Lizard Baby Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion
Mineral based, good to use since 6m and up for kids.
Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen SPF 50+ (3oz)
Glow/Serums
I don’t use this every day, but I reach for it on days I have outdoor plans or want my skin to look extra fresh. It gives an instant glow and makes my skin look more awake and healthy, like that “naturally radiant” finish without makeup.
Merit- Glow Skin Serum
This has been a glow booster for me. My skin looks brighter and more radiant, and the scent alone makes it feel like a mini self-care ritual every time I use it.
Ranavat- Brightening Saffron Serum
I picked this up because I wanted something that supports overall glow and firmness. It feels lightweight but hydrating, and my skin looks smoother when it’s in rotation. I’m still figuring out if it’s a long-term staple for me, but I do like how hea...
Caudalie - Anti-Aging Serum with Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid for hydration
