Sunscreens that I love!
This sunscreen is my daily sunscreen before I leave the house. Super moisturizing and light— it soaks into the skin super quickly with a water lotion texture. Doesn’t leave my skin tacky and more importantly doesn’t make me break out!
RoundLABS Birch Juice Sunscreen SPF 45+
This sunscreen is great for if you are on the go and want to touch up your sunscreen while you are in the car or checking your teeth at the restaurant! Super gentle on the skin, spf 50, and with calming ingredients to help with redness.
Matte Sun Stick : Mugwort+Camelia (SPF 50+ PA++++)
Oil Cleanser
For medium dry combo skin
This oil cleanser has been so gentle and moisturizing for my skin. It’s an oil based cleanser that emulsifies with water and let me tell you— it takes off my sunscreen and foundation with one cleanse. Plus the scent is a total spa vibe: citrusy and s...
for days when you are using chemical exfoliants and want a non active ingredient facewash
Super foamy, super moisturizing, and perfect for dry combo skin. This kale cleanser smells so clean and fresh and it’s the perfect next step after my oil cleanser. Especially when I want my skin to have a rest from an actives.
Kale + Spinach Superfood Face Cleanser
Face Wash (exfoliation day)

These have been great toner pads for me on days when I want that exfoliation. Make sure to be careful when using these in conjunction with retinols— I would recommend using these on your non active face wash days and definitely not the same day as re...
Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0, Dual-Textured Toner
I would use these just for those dry days when your skin needs a perk! Reduces redness and moisturizes your skin that’s about it! But it helps a lot when you want to prep your skin for serums.
Heartleaf 77 Clear Pad
Serums
Just fancy extras for pinpoint skin problems
This is all the fad right now but rightly so! I love how it gives me skin that extra glow you want in the morning from a nighttime serum and it really has kept my skin more plump and moisturized.
REJURAN Turnover Ampoule, c-PDRN Salmon DNA
This serum has been super beneficial for brightening my skin and calming down my rosacea. Definitely use after a harsh exfoliant to make your skin happy.
Niacinamide & Maracujá Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer
This serum has been my go to for a beginner retinol. I would use this maybe once every three days and see if it works for you! It’s helped me with pore reduction and skin texture but definitely need to be vigilant with sunscreen whenever you incorpor...
Retinol & Rainbow Algae Repair Serum
Moisturizer
Definitely need a moisturizer!
This is my night time cream that I use. It’s very rich but soaks into the skin very nicely and I feel like it locks in everything in my skincare routine. Plus did I mention it’s anti inflammatory?
