Skincare: The Glow Guide
Cleanser. Toner. Serums. Moisturizer. SPF.
Thayer's Milky Toner is fantastic for dry skin. It tones and can help shrink pores but it is not overly drying. I use it morning and night as part of my skincare. It's a fantastic start to a morning makeup routine – even on the mornings when you skip...
THAYERS Milky Face Toner with Tremella & Hyaluronic Acid, 355mL
This is a good cleanser for dry skin; however, it does not foam well. I would NOT use it for a good makeup removal wash unless you are double cleansing. I use this for mornings that I would typically skip a foaming or real deep cleanse, but still wan...
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for Dry Skin
The holy grail cleanser! This gentle foaming cleanser makes my skin feel clean without drying it out. Purchase and repurchase. Do it. Now.
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser Pump 8oz
This is a good overall Vitamin C Serum - I usually apply 2-3 nights per week. It does have other peptides and brighteners so it's a good alternative. I skip nights because I do have dry skin. Overall good product – I tend to alternate between this an...
CeraVe Vitamin C Serum 10% Pure, 1 Fl Oz
Another great Vitamin C option for my dry skin girlies – if you do not have dry skin you can add this as a daily serum. If you do have dry skin, I'd alternate days and use around 3x per week. You can also do the “sandwich method” and put your moistur...
Vanicream Vitamin C Serum 1.2 Fl Oz
Great starter retinol product - I use this because I do have some texture concerns and large pores. Again, alternating nights of use. Sometimes I use this on the same night as my Vitamin C and other times I switch them up and use individually. As wit...
CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum, Niacinamide
Great lightweight moisturizer! I use this as part of my skincare premakeup routine to make sure there are no dry patches before applying makeup. I usually use the vanicream moisturizer in the evening especially if I'm using Vitamin C or Retinol – but...
THAYERS 80HR Face Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid, 2.5 Oz
Great product! I use this for my overnight moisturizer and it's great. It is lightweight enough for me not to feel “meh” and sticky overnight, but potent enough to really moisturize my skin. Holy grail moisturizer. Buy it over and over again. Just tr...
Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer 3oz
If you aren't using a daily SPF what are you doing?? You definitely need SPF if you are using a retinol or you will be burnt to a crisp! This one is a great option for dry skin girlies. It does have a sheer and is glowy. I like to do it right before ...
CeraVe Hydrating Sheer SPF 30 Sunscreen 3oz
The SPF your derm wants you to use, but it's expensive… it's great. I love it. But, I don't love the price. I tend to use this one with the skin tint as a light coverage foundation on days I need something (thanks PCOS) but don't want to do a full fa...
EltaMD UV Daily Face Sunscreen Moisturizer SPF
Just buy it. Listen, I HATED this product when I opened the package. I didn't understand it – I squeezed it and water dripped and I thought I must have gotten an old tube. However, I did some research and that was normal. The water is the spring wate...
Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Face Cream
Hear me out – I know you're thinking WTF why would I buy water for my face when I can just use the tap. This water spray helps calm and soothe irritated skin especially if you have redness, rosacea, or dryness. This is like hydration on steroids. Spr...
