the skincare products here have taken me from barely being able to wash my face once a day to consistency. in a world where products are being thrown in your face ALL the time, i've found it difficult to figure out simply what works for me. emphasize...

masks/treatments
if you like the medicube pore pads- YOU’LL LIKE THESE MORE. these pads are truly soothing to the skin. i leave them on for about 3-5 minutes, and watch my redness disappear. great for daily use, and then i’ll alternate to the medicube pore pads 1x to...
100 ct Madecassoside Blemish Pad - MEDIHEAL - Ulta Beauty
Alternative to the medicube pink masks. Goes on white, dries clear. Made my skin so smooth, dewy and soft.
Advanced Snail Mucin Glass Glow Hydrogel Mask_3ea
people are going nuts over these for a REASON. i’m so lazy with my skincare but this product actually makes me want to do my whole routine. leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean and really does smooth out the appearance of pores. for context, i’m gu...
Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0, Dual-Textured Toner
moisturizers
putting sunscreen on has to be my least favorite step in my skincare routine. unfortunately, it’s also the most important step! i always wished i could just slap my moisturizer on and voila~ i’d be protected from the sun! and before you say- “um, the...
Dayscreen Moisturizer SPF 30
simply an amazing moisturizer. light and not greasy, so nourishing that it almost makes the price point worth rebuying- instead it will be going on my christmas list this year.
1.7 oz The Dewy Milk Moisturizer - TATCHA - Ulta Beauty
you can never go wrong with her. though it might just be me, i prefer the lotion in a tub for my body, and the one in the pump for my face- i swear the texture is slightly different. gets the job done and doesn’t make me feel greasy!
Moisturizing Cream
this one is a little pricey for a lazy girl like me- but it’s the only sunscreen that i actually want to put on. so lightweight you won’t know it’s there, but you’ll still be protected. doesn’t clump/cake/bead with any of the products i use and has n...
Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
my skin DRINKS this up. some reviews have made it seem like this cream is greasy or too heavy, but i think it’s perfect for my combination skin. i use a dot in the morning and a heavier layer in the pm.
Dr. Althea - 147 Barrier Cream
serums
ACTUALLY gets rid of redness. i'm prone to getting splotchy red spots because i am a #palegirl and this serum has actually made me feel like i can go barefaced and not feel like i might be giving tomato to whoever i make eye contact with. which is ok...
i was put on to this through briderton's yerin ha's beauty routine. if you're unfamiliar, google, familiarize yourself with her beauty, and proceed. a little goes a long way with this, and i love to use it with a gua sha as yerin ha exampled. pro tip...
Arencia Holy Hyssop Brightening Serum 30 for Post-Acne Marks ...
love to use this daily and nightly. just pop a dot on my ring finger and swipe it under the eyes and stop thinking about it! i have super thin skin under my eyes, so this has definitely helped minimize the dark and dreary look i give when i don't get...
The INKEY List Caffeine De-puffing + Dark Circle Eye Cream
cleansers
unlike the tatcha dewy milk moisturizer i bought along with this, the cleanser is actually worth the price tag. it actually makes me want to wash my face, because it makes me feel like i'm giving myself a spa treatment. not harsh at all, but gets you...
TATCHA The Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser - Ulta Beauty
my favorite cleanser. in a world of double oil cleansing, this cleanser will actually get the job done. sure, it’ll take more time to get your makeup off if you’re wearing a full face everyday, but that’s not what I’m using this for. on days where i ...
Balancing Air Foam Facial Cleanser
i’ve had this for less than a week and it’s already making the it-girl list. as someone with sensitive skin that’ll break out with hives if the wind blows the wrong way, this spray is heaven. sweaty? spray. blotchy? spray. just feel yucky? spray.
i ...
Magic Molecule Hypochlorous Acid Spray for Skin
wants
everything i've heard about this product has been good EXCEPT for the fact that it can really irritate your skin if overused. planning on buying this and incorporating it slowly into my routine.
VT Cosmetics - Reedle Shot 100 - Ulta Beauty
i've been wanting to simplify my body care routine lately. i'm just so focused on trying new things, caring only about the scent of a body wash or lotion, that i'm forgetting exactly why i use these products in the first place. a lightweight body lot...
BYOMA - Brightening Body Lotion with Niacinamide + Urea for Radiant Skin
