Cleansers
Take off the day with a gentle cleanser combo! I love a double cleanse with an oil cleanser first, followed by my regular cleanser.
Gentle and effective! This cleanser has never failed me and is great for sensitive skin. I also love that they have large refill sizes to cut down on waste!
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
Pulls double duty- great for a double cleanse or a longer oil pulling treatment for clogged pores! I love how easily it takes off my makeup in the evenings without breaking me out!
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser
My second favorite oil cleanser! If you find The Ordinary Squalane cleanser too thick or it's causing you to break out, this might be the one for you!
Milky Oil Cleanser
Serums
Perfect for all-over benefits! I've never been able to see any effect from most serums but these are the ones that broke the streak!
If I was stuck on a deserted island and could only bring one beauty product it would be this! THE best color correcting skincare product hands down.
Cicapair™ Camo Drops Tinted Serum SPF 35 | Dr.Jart+ Skincare
Keeps me looking bright and alert all day! I also notice improvement in my fine lines when using this!
Vitamin C Complex Serum
My favorite for repairing my skin barrier after a long shift! Hospital air will dry out skin so quickly- this helps me retain moisture so much better.
Soothing & Barrier Support Serum
Treatments
Sometimes you need a more targeted treatment: here's what I love!
THE best for refreshing during or after a shift! Kills off acne-causing bacteria to prevent breakouts!
SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid
My go-to treatment for quickly fading dark spots! I notice a difference within the first few days.
Mighty Patch Micropoint™ Microneedle Patches for Dark Spots
Despite my best efforts, breakouts still happen, especially under masks! I use these to clear up those pesky pimples- and they are almost invisible making all day wear possible!
Mighty Patch™ Original patch from Hero Cosmetics – The #1 Hydrocolloid Acne ...
On the rare occasion I get to see the sun, I love this setting spray with SPF to protect my makeup AND my skin!
(Re)setting Refreshing Mist SPF 40
Keeping myself looking awake and alert has always been a challenge on night shift. I find that this caffeine eye cream has a cooling effect to wake me up & reduces the purple tones under my eyes!
Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
Moisturizers
The finishing touch for my skincare routine to keep me glowing all day! (or night)
Hands down my favorite moisturizer! I have pretty dry skin, so I like to use this morning and night for an instant glowy effect!
Cicaplast Balm B5 for Dry Skin Irritations
If you find the cicaplast baume too thick for daytime wear check this out! It's more lightweight but still has all the benefits of the original.
Cicaplast Gel B5 Skin Protectant
Another gel moisturizer option with a bonus! This can also be used overnight as a super hydrating mask.
Jet Lag Mask ® + Moisturizer
Hospital air always dries me out. This is one of my favorite full-body lotions that leaves me feeling moisturized but not sticky all night long!
Retinol Overnight Body & Face Lotion | Gold Bond® Skincare Products
