items These are some of my favourite skin care products that keep my skin feeling healthy and glowing.
One of my favourite moisturizers, especially in the winter. It’s rich without being heavy or sitting on top of the skin, and it wears nicely under makeup.
The Dewy Skin Cream Replenishing and Plumping Moisturizer
If you love the look that the dewy skin cream gives but find it a little bit too rich for your skin, this is a milkier, more lightweight version that hydrates well and sits beautifully under foundation.
The Dewy Milk Moisturizer Lightweight Glowing Hydration
This is definitely a luxury product, but if you want to invest in your skin, I highly recommend this. It’s made in Canada with excellent ingredients, and it’s made my skin look so much brighter and smoother.
Eternal Youth | Advanced Rejuvenation Concentrate
The best eye cream for dark circles, and preps the under-eyes perfectly for concealer.
The Brightening Eye Cream
I love using these when my skin is looking dull or textured, or when it’s a bit flaky and I want to prep my skin for makeup.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Extra Strength Daily Peel Pads
I love this sunscreen, it doesn’t have that sunscreen smell, it isn’t greasy, and it sits really well under makeup.
Youthscreen Daily Sunscreen SPF 60
A great toner for congested or acne prone skin, made with salicylic acid to deep-clean pores.
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner for Clear Skin
My favourite cleanser, I’ve repurchased this countless times now. It cleans skin without making it feel stripped or dry.
The Rice Wash Soft Cream Cleanser
I love this cleansing balm, I use it to remove my makeup and sunscreen before cleansing and it works well even on waterproof makeup.
Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original | Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm
My favourite lip balm, so hydrating and nourishing. It’s thick and rich, won’t leave lips drier and doesn’t have to be reapplied every five seconds.
Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment
I love this lotion for nights when my skin needs something soothing, plus it’s a big bottle so it lasts forever
XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Balm, hydrates and soothes
This is a great affordable hydrating serum that sits so well under makeup, and it works well for using before Tretinoin to offer a layer of protection if you need it.
Water Slide
I love using this serum as a makeup primer, it gives the most beautiful glow and bounce to the skin and preps it for makeup.
Phyto-Mucin Glow Serum
This is a milky essence similar to the rhode glazing milk, it’s hydrating and soothing and works well at night or in the morning as a makeup prep step.
Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence (120ml)
Another milky toner that I love is the Byoma one, it’s hydrating and soothing. This is another product I like using as a barrier before Tretinoin, it’s thin enough that my tret is still effective, but it protects the skin so it doesn’t end up peeling...
Hydrating Milky Toner
I like to use these eye patches before I do my makeup for a big day or event. They make my undereyes look more firm and smooth, and they prep them well for concealer.
24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Hydra-Gel Eye Patches
This is the number one skincare item you need, if you get anything, get this. I get mine from my doctor with a prescription, but I have to include it because this is the best product ever for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and acne. It’s the most pot...
Tretinoin
This is such a good moisturizer for makeup prep, I use this one about ten minutes before I sit down to do my makeup and it plumps my skin so my makeup goes on so nicely.
Pro-Collagen Peptide Moisturizer | Plumping Gel-Cream
This is a great hydrating serum, you can mix it with a moisturizer or use it on its own. If my skin is feeling a little parched, this is a great little boost.
7% Ectoin + Hyaluronic Acid Milky Hydrating Serum
I’m a huge fan of the rhode glazing milk. Some people say it breaks them out, but I’ve gone through several bottles and never had that issue. It’s super hydrating and soothing, I love using it for makeup prep or for mixing with full coverage products...
Glazing Milk
This is my favourite physical exfoliant to use, it’s gentle on the skin but still gets rid of any dry flaky spots I get when I use my Tretinoin.
The Rice Polish: Classic Foaming Enzyme Exfoliant Powder
I love this cream mist, it’s essentially a super hydrating, super lightweight moisturizer you can spray right on the face for hydration and a dewy glow.
ATOBARRIER365 Moisturizing Cream Mist - AESTURA | Sephora
Another fantastic spf that I love, this one feels hydrating without being greasy, it has no weird sunscreen smell, and it wears beautifully under makeup without causing any pilling or breakup.
CAPITAL SOLEIL UV+AGE DAILY SPF 60
This one is a splurge for sure, but it’s worth it. It’s a gel-cream made of hydrating silk and Hadasei-3, a trio of Japanese superfoods. It’s amazing for firming the skin.
The Silk Cream - Tatcha | Sephora
Another eye cream that I love, this one has a metal tip that cools the eye area on application. It’s made with a combination of peptides to plump and smooth the eye area, and it wears nicely under concealer.
Pro-Collagen Peptide Firming Eye Serum
An alcohol-free and pH-balanced hydrating toner that strengthens the moisture barrier, removes impurities, and preps the skin.
Hydrating Milky Toner with Snow Mushroom - 12 oz.
