Cleanser + Toner
First things first in my night face routine. It goes: cleanser → toner → moisturizer (face + lips — see products for these below!)
My favorite cleansing balm that made me realize I prefer this type of formula to typical makeup removers. I warm up the product in my hands and then gently massage it over my face which helps loosen makeup product and any other unwanted particles. I ...
Banila Co Clean It Zero Original Cleansing Balm
I've been using this cleanser for years because of its gentle and effective formula for combination-skin. I use about 2 peas worth of product, then massage it onto my skin until it mildly foams up.
Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser 125ml
I stopped using toner because I felt it was too harsh for my skin; this was when I was around 13-14. Now at 18, a dermatologist recommended that I start using it again to help alleviate clogged pores and other impurities on my skin. Since then, I've ...
Cetaphil Brightness Refresh Toner 150ml
Such a gentle toner that helps me wipe away all the left over dirt and grime post-cleanser, especially stubborn makeup residue. Really like this formula!
Banila Co Dear Hydration Skin Softening Toner
Trusted brand of face cotton rounds with a smooth side and a textured side for you to use according to your needs.
Multi-Purpose Cotton Rounds by CLEENE
I got the 28g bar of this product alongside my regular cleanser (the liquid one!), and find it just as gentle and effective as the latter. A good alternative in the case that the liquid cleanser is unavailable, or if you have a preference for bar soa...
Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Antibacterial Bar (127g)
Moisturizer + Sunscreen
The only step of my morning face routine after a rinse with cold water. Simply: moisturizer → sunscreen → head out the door! Applied after cleanser + toner for my night routine too.
Convenient pump for the gentle Cetaphil moisturizer I already love ++ added SPF component! Great addition to my morning routine to get me ready to face the day “face on” ☀️
Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF15 118ml [Non ...
Hydrating cream moisturizer without any tacky nor sticky residue. Love!! Definitely a keeper in my daily night routine.
Banila Co Dear Hydration Barrier Cream 50ml
As I have combination skin, I focus my moisturizer application primarily on the areas of my face that are more dry. Overall, still important to hydrate my skin, especially after cleaner + toner. I like this one in particular because it's light, unsce...
Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream 50g
My go-to sunscreen! Lotion-type formula that doesn't leave a white cast !!! Apply generously over face, neck, etc. SPF50+
Cetaphil Sun SPF50+ Gel 50ml
My alternative sunscreen right now. I like the formula because of how smooth it applies. Light feeling without any tackiness.
Nivea Sun Protect & White Face Cream SPF50 15ml
A light, easy, and even application of sunscreen made even more convenient by the stick functionality and retractable design. SPF50+PA++++
California Aloe Fresh Powdery Sun Stick by Nature Republic
A milky formula that leaves a glow and protects against sun damage. SPF50+PA++++
Perfect UV Sunscreen Mild Milk For Sensitive Skin by Anessa
Lips
Important to rehyrdate the lips, especially after brushing your teeth! Morning and night as well :)
Don't forget to hydrate your lips after brushing your teeth and washing your face! I remember having cracked lips a lot when I was younger until I decided to start incorporating lip care into my day and night routines. I like using vaseline-type form...
Lip Therapy Rosy Lips Mini .25oz
The day time alternative for my lip care! Really any lip balm would work, but I like this one because it's relatively the same formula as the vaseline tub. Plus, it has a slight pinkish hue to it.
Lip Therapy Rosy Lips with Petroleum Jelly 4.6g
Every former indie-kid knows Burt's Bees. Hydrating lip balm with a cooling effect!
BURTS BEES Beeswax Lip Balm Tube 4.25g
A little lighter than the Lip Therapy by Vaseline -- great for dry patches on the skin too.
Petroleum Jelly by Vaseline
Body
Every day!
Non-sticky formula to help moisturize my skin.
Cetaphil Pro Ad Derma Skin Restoring Moisturizer
The same formula for the face works great for soothing and hydrating the rest of the body too!
