best for redness and irritation but thicker than water mask so not as comfortable
Cica Sleeping Mask with Centella Asiatica for Moisture Barrier Support
I love this face sheet mask. It’s so hydrating and it doesn’t feel as crazy wet as the other masks i’ve tried
Torriden - DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Mask Set
This is best for nights when you’re feeling super dry. It’s super light weight and does not feel heavy. Very easy to sleep with.
Water Sleeping Mask - Overnight Hydrating Face Mask
serums/treatments
Serums and treatments for anti-aging/brightening. This all really depends on what I feel my skin needs to what I choose to use
I typically use this every morning as last step before sun screen. If my skin is extra dry, i’ll layer moisturizer on top before sun screen
Daily Power Defense Cream
great vitamin C serum option. I use this typically in the morning. It is very important to follow w sunscreen after as this could made your skin more sensitive to sun

one of the best applicators for spray sunscreen. So easy to use and is good for the whole family.

best sunscreen out there. super lightweight and non greasy and won’t break you out. I reccomend only getting from asian websites as the US version has different formulation

for dry lips
I love this simple and effective lip balm. I carry one for myself and one for the kids everywhere. Essential!
Aquaphor® Lip Repair Stick
the best! I use it throughout the day but especially at night before bed to lock in moisture. I only reccomend the berry flavor because for some reason the texture varies for the other scents

I like this one too but it is much thicker than the laneige
I wouldn’t use this if a strong scent deters you.
