As a girl with combination skin and someone who really struggled with bad skin in high school, I've tried my fair share of skincare products. Below are some of my favourite products that will probably forever remain in my skincare rotation!

Face washes
Here are some face washes I find that really help me to feel clean without feeling like my skin is all stripped and dried out. These always leave my face feeling soft 😊
I love how this cleanser gets super foamy and how clean it makes my face feel every time after I've used it. Honestly, everything from Cerave does a really good job at making your face feel clean without making it feel dried and stripped.
CeraVe Foaming Cleanser
As I've said in the list description, I've tried a lot of different products! Because I have combination skin, I feel like I personally get away with using most face washes for different skin needs. Again, this face wash makes you feel super clean an...
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
This was one of the first cleansers that really worked to help calm the irritation on my face. It was non-irritating and it super gentle on the skin.
Formula 10.0.6 Start So Fresh
Toners
These toners really help to get rid of residual dirt and prep your skin for the other steps in your makeup routine
This has become a ride or die in my skincare routine very recently! It makes me feel super clean and it leaves my skin feeling and looking super fresh! It is super gentle and has reduced some redness that I can get on my face
Bonnyhill Heartleaf Facial Toner
This is a classic toner that a lot of you probably know about already, but I couldn't help recommending this! It is so balancing and refreshing - the skin benefits of witch hazel are indeed true!
Thayers Unscented Alcohol-Free Mist Toner
This was one of the first toners that I tried when I worked my first retail job in the beauty department. It was very hydrating and refreshing and it smelt really nice without being super overpowering and irritating.
Natio Aromatherapy Rosewater & Chamomile Toner
Serums
I've tried a lot of serums, but I genuinely do recommend all of the ones listed below - it's hard to pick a favourite between all of them
After consistent use of this product - my skin truly was visibly brighter! I love the cute packaging of this product. It is non-sticky and is super gentle and nourishing.
Bondi Sands Gold'n Hour Vitamin C Serum
I love this hyalouronic acid serum from Bondi Sands! It instantly gives me a hydration boost and makes my skin look so glowy and feel so soft.
Bondi Sands Thirsty Skin Hyaluronic Acid Serum
This serum made me feel so confident in my skin as it really helped to even out some of my hyperpigmentation. It of course pairs well with the other Bondi Sands serums recommended in this list!
Bondi Sands Begin Again Vitamin B3 Serum
This is such a good hyaluronic acid serum! It does a great job of moisturising the skin and making it look super hydrated. I love this brand so much - I love the sleek and minimal packaging too.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)
Niacinamide is one of my favourite skincare steps - it made a massive difference to my skin when I was having consistent trouble with keeping forehead and chin pimples away. It really helped to clear my skin and support it to keep bright and smooth
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Salicylic acid is another product I love because I have a very oily t-zone and it really helps keep the oils at a manageable level. Because this product also promotes skin exfoliation, it helps with any dead skin or congestion you may have to let glo...
Salicylic Acid 2% Solution
Moisturisers/lotions
I love a nice moisturiser/lotion that does its job without making my face feel too heavy
I absolutely adore this huge tub of the Cerave moisturing cream! This has honestly lasted me over a year- and I use a small amount for my face and neck morning and night! It is not heavy feeling at all and leaves your skin feeling super smooth and lo...
CeraVe Moisturising Cream
This lotion is a great (and smaller) option for a Cerave lotion which is both face and body friendly. It is super hydrating and leaves your skin feeling and looking super hydrated.
CeraVe Daily Moisturising Lotion
This is a super nice and refreshing moisturiser which had SPF which was an awesome bonus. Super sleek and simple packaging as well!
