Skincare That Gives Results
Keeps my skin hydrated and mixes GREAT with vitamin C powders and doesn't interact badly with any of my actives (mainly AHAs and BHAs). HIGHLY recommend as a hair refresher for curly hair too! Incredibly effective and the most versatile product I've ...
HERITAGE STORE: Rosewater
BEST toner for clear and hydrated skin! I struggle with hyperpigmentation (dark spots) and this toner is a godsend! The green tea soothes my skin and reduces inflammation while the 2% BHA has reduced any bumps or acne, sometimes same day when I have ...
Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Exfoliant
If you have dry, itchy, bumpy skin, THIS body wash is a must! The BHA (salicylic acid) gently exfoliates to remove build-up and prep your skin to take in moisture. The KEY is to moisturize while your skin is still damp with a butter or emollient crea...
CeraVe Salicylic Acid Body Wash, 10 oz
2
I always go fragrance-free on my moisturizers and THIS one has been my go-to since 2021 and I haven't looked back. Though collagen can't metabolize topically, it can act as an amazing barrier to help your skin soak in the rest of your skincare produc...
L'Oreal Paris Collagen Moisture Filler Cream
I just started using this face wash about a month ago and my skin has been less finicky and sensitive. At first, I thought it might be too astringent but it actually balanced my skin quite well. I have combination skin that leans more oily (according...
innisfree Green Tea Amino Acid Cleansing Foam
This may be my most consistent skincare buy because I have sensitive skin. Hypochlorous acid is naturally created by our white blood cells and THIS spray has been a godsend to calm my face of any breakouts AND on my body if my eczema flares up. I als...
Hypochlorous Acid Spray 1L Refill - Skin Care
3b/3c Curly Haircare
BEST curly hair refresher and it mixes well with any product I've used! This one is silicone-free and it smells amazing (without being too heavy or lasting too long). My curls always feel hydrated and it actually doesn't need more product to help cur...
Ouidad Botanical Boost Curl Energizing Spray
I have high porosity 3b/3c curly hair so I NEED protein/moisture balance. This repair mask has been the BEST one I've tried and my curls have been thriving with less frizz, shinier strands, and hairstyles lasting me way longer because the humidity do...
HASK Keratin Smoothing Deep Conditioner 8oz
This is one of the few natural hair gels that actually holds my curly hair for longer than a day or two in a wash n' go. It's also hydrating and pairs well with other leave-ins I've tried. One thing I will say is to keep it in a cooler environment an...
Curl Maker Defining Gel - Camille Rose | Ulta Beauty
Healthy Nail Care
When I say this is the ONLY nail protein that I can trust to help grow my nails—I mean THIS is the ONLY one. It's not a nail hardener, which makes my nail brittle and break, and it's not just a nail treatment that doesn't do much. It's a nail protein...
Nailtiques Nail Protein Formula 2 Plus 0.25oz
I usually prefer cuticle oils and body butters to keep my cuticles and nails hydrated. However, this cuticle serum is PERFECT for when you're out and about because it doesn't drip everywhere and it soaks into your nails and cuticles so well. I'll be ...
Onsen Nail & Cuticle Cream w/ Tsubaki Oil
Can’t have a mani-pedi night without this! Does a great job moisturizing your hands and is gentle enough to use on sensitive skin (which is exactly why I chose it!). Doesn’t have a strong scent and makes my cuticles and nails so much more hydrated!
Aveeno Skin Relief Hand Mask Gloves, 4 Pack
Body Care For Healthy Skin
EOS has BEEN that lotion brand for me the last year or so and THIS launch of the pistachio de creme has me by the neck! I'm a sucker for a gourmand scent and this one hits the spot! Also, my skin stays hydrated and soft throughout the day and I smell...<3
eos Shea Better Body Lotion - Pistachio, 16oz
The number one reason I have smooth and even toned skin on my underarms, bikini line, and legs after shaving. The rose scent is soft and fades, so it doesn’t interfere with any other fragrances. Also, pro tip: it can really help with skin that’s bump...
Tree Hut Moroccan Rose After Shave Serum 4oz
Glycolic Acid is a multi-purpose skincare must-have! This one is a gentle formula that I use sparingly on my scalp about once every two weeks or so or just when needed. It’s great for under arms (just remember to layer a moisturizer in top), and to h...
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
Self-Care
BEST self-warming foot masks I've EVER tried! I sometimes have plantar fasciitis after walking (without stretching—my fault) and this soothes my entire foot after a hot shower and just before I go to bed. After I take it off, I like to layer the seru...
Dr. Scholl's Tired, Achy Feet Warming Mask
These are my go-to simple South Korean face masks because they give just the right amount of self-care with great results in my skin! My favorites include the Rice, Green Tea, and Pumpkin (may be seasonal). You can get a pack which can last you a lon...
TONYMOLY I'm Real Hydrating Face Mask
Best Suncare / SPF Products
One of two of the main mineral sunscreens I've really loved the past year. It's an Australian brand and they KNOW their sun care / SPF, so this brand was on my list for a while. It doesn't leave a cast and acts as a nourishing primer so you can layer...
Naked Sundays SPF 50 Daily Facial Moisturizer
I was introduced to this one by a friend while we were traveling in Spain. I'd forgotten my makeup back home (still can't believe I did that) and she offered me a bit of this mineral sunscreen. I instantly fell in love. It's a Korean skincare-makeup ...
Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Soothing CC Cream SPF30
