Affordable + Hydrating Skincare for Dry Skin

Purple Star emoji 11 items
All of my top skincare and makeup picks. There are multiple brands for the same type of product, but that's because I like my options and different brands work for different purposes 😂

Morning Skin Routine

The #1 thing I use in the morning is sunscreen. I don't go anywhere without putting on sunscreen. Sunscreen is life. I keep a bottle in my car and in my purse. WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN! 

I've used all of these brands and have them in a steady rotation. I tend to gravitate to these Korean brands because of the 1. lack of white cast, 2. price point, and 3. sophisticated filters that aren't available in the US (yet).

I love the texture of this. Minimal white cast and melts into the skin. Also pretty affordable!
Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture SPF 50 Sunscreen

A decent choice! The consistency is thinner than what I prefer but I still have this in my dresser as a good option. Very affordable

This was my holy grail sunscreen for 2-3 years before the price increased! Still my fave, but on the pricier side :)

For when you feel a pimple coming on. Smells fresh and the color of the product is green which helps to combat any redness (thank you color theory!)

Perfect for those pesky breakouts. It's not a 100% fix, but it IS very effective at reducing inflammation.
