Face Cleanser

I have normal to sensitive skin, and these cleansers leave my skin soft and hydrated.

This is my everyday face cleanser. I use the gentle cleanser for all skin types and the hydrating cleanser for normal to dry skin. This product keeps my skin hydrated without causing breakouts.

I use the Marcelle Gentle Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover. I don't wear waterproof mascara anymore, but I find this stuff still works great to clean up my runny eyeliner and is gentle on my sensitive skin.

I love the Stone Crop Oxygenating Fizzofoliant. I use this when the weather is a bit more humid, and I need a good face scrub in between my Zo cleanser. I love the smell, and the FIZZ is so fun! The product contains stone crop, aloe vera, and microgr...

I love this exfoliating polish. I use it every now and then when my skin needs a little buffer. The smell is amazing, it's a bit like a clinic or professional scent and smells clean (not sure if I described that right). I'm big on smells, and this on...

Toners

I use toners to remove any additional dirt or oil after my cleanser

I use the Clinique Clarifying Lotion #2 every day after I cleanse my face and before I apply my face creams. It removes oil and dirt really well, leaving my skin feeling refreshed and ready for moisture.

I use this as a toner after I cleanse my face if I feel my face needs a little more moisture. Note: I don't use the Clinique toner if I'm using this guy.

Skin Creams & Serums

I am VERY picky when it comes to creams and serums. I don't like greasy or heavy face creams that leave my skin oily. I do LOVE anything that smells nice, though!

I am obsessed with the Bum Bum cream. The smell is like summer on the beach in November. Cannot get enough of this stuff! I use it as a body butter and put it on my bum bum, legs, arms, and belly/abs

I use this skin cream daily. It is non-greasy and fragrance-free! My ex was in a major car accident years ago and burned half his face and shoulder. He was in the burn ward for weeks, and his doctor actually recommended this moisturizer to help rehab...

I use the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask before bed each night. It's non-greasy and leaves my skin super soft in the morning. I like that it's not a heavy cream and still keeps my skin feeling refreshed!

I really love éminence products for their smell and organic ingredients. I have a very sensitive nose and this night cream actually helps me sleep at night. The smell is lovely and while it is a bit of a thicker cream, it doesn't cause me to breakout...

I have recently swapped the Zo Health Daily Defence moisturizing cream for this daily moisturizer from Vivier. I was not happy when I discovered Zo Health had raised its price significantly for the daily defence moisturizer with zero product improvem...

This is my recommendation for a moderate skincare program that reduces early or significant signs of environmental and chronological aging. This product sequence helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promotes a more even-looking ski...

I'm really loving this new line. I was once a die-hard Zo Skin Health fan, but I find the Vivier products do more for my skin these days.
