Cleansers
My favorite, gentle cleansers for combination skin.
My tried and true cleanser for the last several years. Keeps acne at bay without drying out my skin.
Acne Control Cleanser
Another great option for sensitive skin! I’ve used this almost as long as CeraVe and I’d say they’re about equal. This one is also gentle yet effective .
Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Foaming Cleanser
I use this about 1-2x week to keep acne away, but it’s gentle enough for daily use!
Acne Creamy Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 4% | PanOxyl US
I actually purchased this when the drugstore was out of my favorite makeup remover and I ended up liking this better! So gentle on skin but yet super effective at removing even the most stubborn makeup.
Garnier Micellar Water Hydrating Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover
Toners and Mists
Refreshing skin toners and sprays to lock in hydration.
I’ve been using this for years. I use it to refresh my skin between washing or to take off any remaining eye makeup that didn’t come off during cleansing.
Thayers Rose Petal Facial Toner
Provide such a soft flawless base for your skin. Skin feels incredibly smooth right after use.
Thayers Hydrating Milky Toner
Okay first of all this smells sooo good! Like fresh cut watermelon. I used this after cleansing to seal in moisture and hydrate.
Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist
Moisturizers and Serums
Keep your skin supple and soft with these amazing moisturizers!
I initially bought this by accident the first time but I’m glad I did! My skin has never been so flawless since using this. Also doubles as a body moisturizer.
Cetaphil Hydrating Moisturizing Cream
This has such a silky luxurious feel. Probably the best moisturizer I’ve used in the last several years. Hydrates without making skin oily or greasy.
Green Tea EGCG Concentrate Serum
Argan oil is my favorite carrier oil. Can be used on hair, skin and nails. I use it at night as a light moisturizer for its anti against properties. Also won’t clog pores.
Organic Argan Oil
Daily SPF
What I use to protect my skin from premature wrinkles
This is perfect for sensitive skin. Provides good coverage without irritating my skin or causing acne. Make sure to use a very small amount (I usually use a pea size amount for my whole face).
Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Lotion
Works really well under makeup and easy to apply without it creating a white cast like most sunscreens do.
Cetaphil Daily Oil-free Facial Moisturizer with SPF 35
Eye Serums
What I’ve been using to reduce the appearance of under eye circles.
This under eye serum is such high quality and budget friendly. I have bluish-purple under eye circles and fair skin and this has made a noticeable improvement.
The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Eye Serum
My favorite eye cream of all time. Lasts for months, smells great and reduces puffiness.
Coffee Bean Caffeine Brightening Eye Cream
Treatments
Additional treatments for your skin that leave it feeling flawless
Very effective for pimples that won’t go away on their own. I would suggest putting the patch on clean bare skin to make sure it sticks properly.
Mighty Patch Hydrocolloid for Acne
I use this after cleansing to prevent acne. Also great for the neck and shoulders if you break out there like I do. Keeps bacne at bay.
Medicube Zero Pore Pads
Feel sooo nice! I pop these in the fridge for a bit so they’re nice and cool. I’ve gotten several uses out of them.
Bright Eyes Mask
So cute! Looks like little cucumbers. Feels so refreshing and reduces eyelid puffiness.
Gel Eye Masks | Eye Cooling Pads | LUSH
Masks
Everyone needs a little extra pampering! These masks do the trick.
This smells exactly like brownie batter! I’ve used this mask for years and it always makes my skin glow.
Cupcake Face Mask
This is an absolute must have if you’re a coffee lover. Smells EXACTLY like a fresh cup of cold brew. Doubles as a face mask and scrub, so you really get your moneys worth. This always leaves my face feeling super smooth and absolutely glowing.
Cup O' Coffee Face and Body Scrub
