My go to skincare list for those days when my skin decides to have a mind of its own. I’m sharing the products I reach for depending on what my skin needs, from stubborn breakouts and whiteheads to dark spots, dryness, oiliness, and a damaged skin barrier. I also added simple tips on when and how I’d use each one, so you can hopefully find something that works for your own skin too.

I love makeup, but these are the products I always end up going back to. They’re reliable, easy, and just work for me every time. Pros: I save money, avoid over-consuming, and don’t fall into every new release hype. Cons: I often stay loyal to the same products, which can make me miss out on exploring new formulas, shades, and innovations in makeup. But at the same time, I just save money and get more use out of what I already have—so why buy something new if I already have something that works, right? 💄✨

Not advice. Not perfection. Just real things that helped me slowly feel like myself again when everything felt too heavy. There was a point where I didn’t feel “lazy”… I just felt stuck. Like I was watching my life from the outside and didn’t know how to fix anything. I wasn’t looking for motivation or some big glow-up. I just needed small things that made life feel a little lighter. These are those things.
