items As a college student and personal trainer who puts up a sweat in dance classes and at the gym, here is how I keep my face from completely breaking out! I've tried various products over the years, but these do an amazing job AND don't break the bank. ...
This is my favorite nighttime oil! It works as a stubborn makeup transfer oil (removes waterproof eye makeup, etc.) and passively moisturizes my skin while I sleep. As opposed to other oils, it doesn't clog my pores and my skin doesn't feel greasy af...
100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil | The Ordinary
This is the best value on an effective lash serum! Additionally, this serum does not contain prostaglandins, which irritate many people's eyes and have a whole slew of side effects.
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum
This is my go to pre-daily moisturizer serum! After cleansing, I use this serum to lock in a base level of moisture before adding a true moisturizer with SPF to act as a skin barrier.
The Ordinary - Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
I'm such a huge fan of a passive skincare regimen! This product is wonderful at nighttime lip hydration; I no longer wake up and reach for my lip balm immediately because this lip mask already did the work.
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate - Laneige
This is my favorite cleanser of all time! I have had combination skin for as long as I can remember and this cleanser helps to balance my skin at the start and end of the day, and is an added layer of acne prevention.
Effaclar Gel Facial Wash for Oily Skin - La Roche-Posay
Bye bye under-eye bags! I love using this caffeine solution with eye masks after a particularly late night or early morning. After about 15 minutes, I do notice some de-puffing and skin brightening.
Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG - The Ordinary
I will never stop using this moisturizer! First off, you can't beat the price. For under $5, it is a complete steal. I love the texture of this moisturizer; it's not too thick, it spreads easily, and it doesn't clog my pores. Additionally, it has SPF...
Trader Joe's Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion 2pk
I've been using this product for years! This toner is so refreshing and is budget-friendly at a mere $3.99. I use this product at least twice a day :)
Rose Water Facial Toner | Trader Joe's
Perhaps my current obsession! This instant bacteria cleanser is responsible for saving my skin during those long days at dance classes, rehearsals, and the gym. After a spritz or two, I feel comfortable knowing that all of the bacteria around my face...
e11ement - Hypochlorous Acid Face & Skin Spray
Caffeine serum's best friend! These reusable eye masks help to lock in serum and make it more effective. Plus! These stay put on your face and don't slide around a whole lot.
Overtime Undereye Masks - 4AM Skin
This is perfect sculpting (and wake up) tool! This tool doubles as a gua sha for me in the morning.
Face Ice Cubes
The most moisturizing (and most affordable) body butter out there! I use this every night before bedtime and wake up with hyrated, glowing skin.
Fragrance-Free Body Butter | Trader Joe's
Just like Trader Joe's other body butter, but with Vitamin C and “a bright clementine scent!” I haven't been using it long enough to evaluate the firming qualities, but I'm really loving it so far!
Trader Joe's Vitamin C Firming Body Butter 8 oz
I love a clean product, especially when it smells this good! Native's Coconut & Vanilla scent is perfect to me.
Native Body Wash | Coconut & Vanilla, Cucumber...
I've never been a sugar scrub girly, but I love Ouai's scrub! Their St. Barts scented one smells so good and leaves my skin beyond smooth. Highly recommend!
Sugar Scalp and Body Exfoliating Scrub - Hair Treatment - OUAI
