items Charlie used to work at L'Oreal, which meant we had access to a ton of free & heavily discounted products from their brands like L'Oreal, CeraVe, Garnier, Kiehl's, etc. I tested everything I could get my hands on for a few years, and these are th...

Skin Care
I've tried a lot of skincare products over the years and these are the ones that made it into my regular rotation. I'm not someone who sticks to one brand or does everything all at once, I just use what works and what I'll keep using consistently. So...
My favorite exfoliant. This was the first skincare product I ever used where I actually noticed a difference in my skin when I woke up. Something about it just makes my skin look smoother, like it evened everything out overnight. I've been using this...
Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
My favorite retinol. This cult French pharmacy retinol is one of those products that gets hyped up constantly but actually lives up to it. I started using it a few times a week at night and my skin texture has genuinely improved. The texture is thick...
A313 French Pharmacy Vitamin A Anti-Aging Cream
My go-to everyday face moisturizer, especially in the colder months. I've tried a lot of face creams over the years and this one just works without any drama. It absorbs fast so I'm not sitting around waiting for my face to dry, but it actually keeps...
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream with 4.5% Squalane
The sunscreen that finally got me wearing it every single day. It feels very lightweight, more like a light moisturizer than sunscreen, and gives the slightest bit of a glow without being greasy or shiny. Most importantly for me, it doesn't burn my e...
Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++) - Beauty of Joseon
My daily cleanser. This cleanser worked well for me when I was acne prone, and it still works well for me now. It starts as an oil but turns into a light foam when you add water, which feels kind of satisfying. It makes my skin feel clean without tha...
CeraVe Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser 8oz
My top Vitamin C pick. Vitamin C is probably my most experimented with skincare product and I've tried many different ones over the years, but this affordable CeraVe option is what I always come back to. I use it almost every morning after cleansing ...
CeraVe Vitamin C Serum 10% Pure, 1 Fl Oz
My favorite drying lotion. I've had this on hand for many years now and both me & Charlie use it every single time we get acne. It works pretty well overnight to dry out pimples and reduce the size & redness, which helps keep me from popping ...
Bye Bye Blemish Acne Drying Lotion 1oz
The other spot treatment product I like & use for pimples. I use these overnight sometimes, but I usually use my drying lotion overnight and then switch to a pimple patch during the day. They're hydrocolloid patches that absorb all the gunk from ...
Rael Pimple Patches Hydrocolloid Acne Patch
For moisture & hair growth. I mix a little bit of this in with my moisturizer at night and my skin loves it. It's thick & sticky on its own, but mixed with lotion it spreads easily and adds extra hydration without feeling too heavy. I also us...
HERITAGE STORE Organic Castor Oil 16oz Glass
The red light therapy lamp we use at our house for skin care, among other things. I stand really close to this while I'm on my vibration plate (where my habit stackers at) and use it about 10 minutes in the morning & 10 minutes at night. It has b...
Red Light Therapy Lamp 660nm & 850nm with Stand
My affordable face massager pick. Doesn't quite meet the review standard I have set for products on my lists, but I don't know why. Some people may prefer gua sha or other things, but this is my favorite tool so far because it's the only one I've bee...
2pcs 2025 Lymphatic Drainage & Contour Brush
Body & Foot Care
I'm not okay when it comes to dry skin, especially my feet. I have multiple lotions on me at all times and if my dry heel touches something the wrong way I lose my shit. These are the products that have saved my sanity & kept my skin from feeling...
One of my favorite lotions ever. I manage to keep multiple lotions on me at all times and I've probably tried 100 different options over the years, so trust me when I say this one actually feels hydrating, and for longer than any other lotion I use. ...
Dove Cream Serum Hyaluronic + Hydration Lotion 8oz
I love my dry brush and use it every couple of days before I shower. You don't want to overdo it and irritate your skin, but when you use it the right amount it really helps with dryness & dullness. It's also supposed to help with lymphatic drain...
Dry Brushing Body Brush - Exfoliate & Massage
My favorite shave oil. It feels nice on my skin and smells lovely, the vanilla cashmere scent is warm & sweet without being too much. I’ve tried others but ultimately landed on this one. The texture is silky and doesn't lather, so you can see whe...
eos Cashmere Shave Oil Vanilla 6 fl oz
I would perish without these and they're a constant rebuy for me. I do NOT do well when it comes to dry anything but especially dry feet. Like if my dry heel touches something I'll legitimately lose my shit, so I wear these to sleep every night to ke...
Dr. Frederick's Moisturizing Heel Socks - 2 Pairs
Favorite treatment for dry feet. This is what I slather on before putting on my heel socks every night. It does a pretty good job of cleaning up my rough heels, even just overnight. It has salicylic acid & urea that exfoliate & soften at the ...
Kerasal Nighttime Foot Repair Ointment 1oz
