This cleansing is my favorite of all the ones I’ve tried. It does a really good job of taking off makeup, sunscreen, oils, etc without stripping your skin. Following it with a second cleanse doesn’t dry my skin out.

I love the Milky Moisture Cleanser because it’s really soothing and my skin feels so refreshed after I use it. It hydrates and nourishes the skin while protecting the skin barrier. It can also help reduce skin texture!

Moisturizers

Moisturizers seal the deal that is your skincare routine. I’m a big fan of thicker moisturizers for my dry skin, but there are some more lightweight ones that have worked beautifully for my skin, too!
