Oily & Acne-Prone Skin: My Go-To Routine
My holy grail products for controlling excess oil, clearing breakouts, and keeping my skin balanced.
Cleans deeply and feels strong on oil and breakouts, but somehow never leaves my skin feeling dry or tight.
CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser
My favorite hydrating serum. It feels super lightweight, refreshing, and absolutely delicious on the skin without clogging pores.
Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Serum
My go-to for minimizing pores. It comes in a smaller bottle than the Vichy, but it serves a totally different purpose—I actually saw a real change in my pore size and skin texture!
Effaclar Mat Mattifying Face Moisturizer for Oily Skin
I've been using this since day one and I've never changed it. It's an absolute must in my routine—every single time I've stopped using it for a few days or weeks, I've regretted it. It works wonders for minimizing pores and smoothing out texture!
La Roche Posay Effaclar Ultra Concentrate Serum 30ml
The ultimate sunscreen for oily skin and my absolute holy grail. I've used it for over two years and it's a must in my routine. It has a rich, gorgeous texture that lasts, though my only complaint is that the bottle is a bit hard and makes it tough t...
Eucerin Oil Control Sunscreen SPF 50 (Unscented / Clear)
My current absolute favorite. Switching to a mineral sunscreen is truly another level! I love how it manages to have a light texture similar to Fusion Water while giving me amazing mineral protection and extra benefits. Plus, the natural tint blends ...
HELIOCARE 360º Mineral Tolerance Fluid SPF 50 50 ml
My very first sunscreen! I used it religiously for three years when I started my skincare journey, and I adore the scent. I eventually switched because the older formula lacked blue light antioxidants, but they’ve since updated it! Even though I'm cu...
Fotoprotector Fusion Water MAGIC SPF 50
I use it right after the Effaclar serum because that treatment can sometimes be a bit strong—this lotion gives me the exact deep hydration my skin needs at night to stay balanced and calm.
CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion
I use this one every now and then as an extra exfoliating step to deeply purify, keep breakouts at bay, and target post-acne marks without overdoing it.
Eucerin DermoPurifyer Triple Effect Cleansing Gel
My go-to spot treatment for stubborn breakouts. It's powerful, incredibly effective at clearing individual blemishes quickly, and an essential powerhouse to have on hand for targeted treatments.
RETIN-A 0.025 % CREAM - Amazon Pharmacy
An absolute must-have for refreshing and calming sensitive or irritated skin. The travel-size version is a total go-to to carry around everywhere, but heads up: the spray nozzle can sometimes get stuck if you shake the bottle too much!
Avène Thermal Spring Water
The essential first step of my double cleanse. It proves you don't have to spend a fortune to be efficient—it melts away makeup effortlessly without breaking the bank, preparing my skin perfectly for the CeraVe cleanser right after.
Agua Micelar con Ácido Hialurónico - Revitalift - L'Oréal Paris
My other go-to spot treatment for stubborn breakouts. It works wonders for targeted blemishes, helping them heal quickly and keeping post-acne marks under control.
BIRETIX Tri Active Gel
Clean Girl Aesthetic: Makeup Essentials
For this list, I truly value things that are lightweight, non-greasy, hydrating, and quick and easy to use. Everything here is completely foolproof—because let's be real, I'm always touching my face and I'm super clumsy, so it needs to hold up!
My ultimate go-to when I want a bit of coverage and color without wearing actual foundation. It acts as my sunscreen and light base all in one!
Fotoprotector Fusion Water MAGIC Medium SPF 50
A moment of silence for this, because unfortunately, they don't sell it in Peru anymore—but I had to include it because it was simply gorgeous. If you ever come across it abroad, it's an amazing spot concealer that treats while it covers.
Eucerin Dermopure Stick Corrector 2g
My foolproof product for defining the brows quickly. It keeps everything in place all day long without looking overly done or complicated.
Maybelline Tattoo Brow 3d Gel - Deep Brown
After trying out all the different versions of Benefit mascaras, this is hands down the winner. It gives incredible volume and genuinely opens up the eyes, making lashes look full and lifted all day without clumping.
Benefit Bad Gal Bang Volumizing Mascara
The iconic original red version—a total must-have that literally serves for everything! I use it on both lips and cheeks for the most natural, foolproof flush of color that never lets you down and refuses to budge all day
Benefit Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain - ARC
I know there’s a massive hype around Black Honey, but trust me, it lives up to it for a reason! It blends so beautifully on the lips, plus it hydrates, so it's honestly excellent.
Black Honey
This genuinely smells delicious, doesn't feel sticky at all, and best of all: it actually hydrates! The ultimate finishing gloss that gives a gorgeous, comfortable shine.
Labial Maybelline Lifter Gloss Stone
Haircare Favorites
Navigating an oily scalp and occasional seborrheic dermatitis flare-ups when stress hits isn't easy. Because of that, my hair care routine is all about balance—I need strong, deep-cleansing products to keep oil at bay, but I also have to rotate caref...
Having an oily scalp means I always need a strong shampoo that truly cleanses deeply, and this transparent one is it! It's the powerful purifying version from the line, it smells absolutely delicious, and it leaves my hair feeling super fresh and bal...
L'Oréal Paris Elvive Hyaluron Pure Shampoo 340mL | Hair
I alternate this with my stronger purifying shampoo. Since my scalp needs gentle care and balance, this is my go-to for daily use—it provides a refreshing, lightweight cleanse that leaves my hair hydrated and fresh without irritating my scalp.
Hair Food Aloe Vera - Shampoo
My ultimate emergency weapon for when stress triggers my seborrheic dermatitis flare-ups. This green version specifically targets oily hair and stubborn flakes, acting as a true lifesaver that calms the scalp instantly when nothing else works.
Vichy Dercos Champú Anticaspa - Cabello Normal/graso - 200ml
Proof that you don’t need to spend a fortune on hair protection!
Protector térmico Lanosterin Lan.Thermic 110 ml
I naturally have straight hair, but this product is my secret weapon
Tratamiento Lanosterin Wave Lanosterin 110 ml
Same line, same results
Fructis Mascarilla Hair Food Aloe Vera
Body Care Routine
This section is hands down my most honest recommendation. I've been using these products for nine years straight without changing them, and I don't plan to anytime soon! For daily use, I prioritize what is truly budget-friendly, highly effective, and...
A total classic for daily cleansing. It gives that soft, nourishing feel without leaving the skin feeling tight or dry.
Dove Beauty Bar
My ultimate lifesaver for occasional body acne, especially on the back because the spray format makes it so easy to reach anywhere and it dries quickly. But let's be real: the catch is that the scent is super strong and definitely doesn't fade away q...
Acniben Body Spray
Absolute fan of this since its launch! I'm completely in love with it because it's eco-friendly, gives incredible hydration, and acts as a fantastic body protector all at once. It feels weightless and leaves the skin feeling amazing without any greas...
Fotoprotector ISDIN HydrOLotion SPF 50+
My absolute best option for daily use on regular days when I'm not planning to go to the beach or pool. It has that amazing oil-control finish that keeps the body completely comfortable without feeling heavy or sticky during a normal routine.
Sun Body Oil Control Gel-Crema FPS 50+
Dries really fast
