Tried and true everyday products to keep your skin hydrated and healthy and keep you moving on with your day
Hands down my favorite makeup removing balm, of the many I have tried. Works so great and doesn’t leave your eyes burning or blurry right after. 10/10
e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration Cleansing Balm
Favorite everyday cleanser that leaves skin clean and fresh but not dried out
CeraVe Foaming Face Wash with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide for Oily Skin - 16 fl oz
Milder toning pads which I switch to from the regular when pregnant 🤰
Medicube Zero Pore Pads Mild 2.0 (70 pcs)
Toning pads to help exfoliate and balance skin tone and texture. I love these toning pads and the price point. I prefer the pads over toner bottles where I have to use a cotton swap or pad.
Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0, 70 Units
Gentle, hydrating, plumping eye cream to help with bags and fine wrinkles under the eye. Non-greasy formula that leaves a noticeable difference. A little goes a long way so this tube has lasted me a very long time
CeraVe Skin Renewing Eye Cream Wrinkles
Vitamin C serum that has been so hydrating for my skin and fixing dark spots but doesn’t break the bank
Naturium Vitamin C Complex Serum- 1 fl oz
Niacinamide serum (tried after the gel) that I truly think has helped with balancing skin tone and texture. I loved both the gel and the serum. Serum does leave a bit of a sticky texture to the skin compared to the gel in my opinion.
Naturium Niacinamide Serum 12% Plus Zinc 2% - 1 fl oz
Niacinamide gel for balancing skin tone and texture. I probably prefer the gel over the serum but both have been great for my skin.
Naturium Niacinamide Gel Cream 5% - 1.7 oz
This is my holy grail moisturizer. I made the switch probably a year or so ago and I don’t see myself ever going back to something else. It’s great for day and night time, smooth and hydrating, not sticky or heavy, and a little goes a long way. It’s ...
Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer w/ Ceramides & Hyaluronic Acid, 3 fl oz
Best everyday tinted sunscreen. Does leave a slight shine but it fades within minutes
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Tinted SPF 40+
Easy go-to combo product that moisturizes, provides SPF, and a light tint of color- mostly use this on the weekend when trying to keep things simple and not fully getting ready for a day
CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Tinted Face Sunscreen Lotion - SPF 30 - Medium - 1.7 fl oz
When doing gua sha you need some sort of serum or oil to slide the tool on your skin so you don’t actually do more damage doing it dry. This works great for that! The texture was a bit surprising but for when I need it, it’s perfect. I have since hea...
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Repairing Essence 100ml
Okay, I feel like so many people are talking about gua sha that I had to give it a try. I do love it when I use it but admittedly have had a hard time building it into my routine super consistently. But it feels so good when I do use it!
Nuanchu Stainless Steel Gua Sha Facial Tool
Perfect shine without the stickiness. Leaves your lips feeling amazing!
Lip Glowy Balm Moisturize & Nourish
Is this necessary? Absolutely not. Does it make washing your face and doing your skincare a lot less messy and annoying? Absolutely yes.
I am surprised by how much I enjoy and use the headband and wristbands. This is not the set I have as the ones I...
Zkptops Spa Headband Terry Cloth Black
I can’t believe how long it took me to use this. I do tend to use it after/between cleansing steps and I am always amazed at its ability to get all of the remaining eye makeup off- and doesn’t stain!
MakeUp Eraser PRO - Remove All Makeup with Water
The cool metal applicator of this feels phenomenal on puffy, tired eyes and really helps both wake you up and easily glide the product on
Cocokind Revitalizing Eye Cream 0.5oz
Makeup
I think this is my new favorite primer. Blurs imperfections and controls shine
e.l.f. Liquid Poreless Putty Primer - 0.94 fl oz
Most days I can’t bring myself to put on liquid concealer or foundation and I just use this all over. It’s a light coverage, won’t leave my skin feeling heavy or sticky, and helps control shine.
Revlon Colorstay Finishing Pressed Powder - Lightweight and Oil-Free - 830 Light/Medium - 0.3oz
Super soft and simple makeup puff - works great with my pressed powder
Pimoys 6pcs Soft Triangle Makeup Puff - Peacock Blue
I love this highlighter and it has lasted me forever!!
Chubby Stick™ Sculpting Highlight
I have shade 3 and love it! My makeup routine (if you can even call it that) is super simple and this step is one of my favs
Desert Island Duo
I don’t know why this brush brings me so much joy, but it does. Multipurpose and perfect blending
Duo Brush Face
I first tried the Thrive eye brightener stick when I got it in a FabFitFun box and instantly loved it. I have tried many dupes since and I can’t find anything as good. So, although they are pricey compared to others on the market, I really do think t...
Brilliant Eye Brightener Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick
I always come back to this mascara primer. Good buildability without being chunky
L'Oreal Voluminous Lash Boost Primer Mascara
I have tried many mascaras over the years and this is my current favorite for everyday wear. Not chunky or clumpy and just enough lift and volume.
L'Oreal Voluminous Original Mascara Black
Nighttime skin
Korean skincare line that works to penetrate deep in the skin to improve skin health at the cellular level. This is the Boo-Se-Boo (because of the booster-serum-booster step) routine, which if anything is just really fun to say 😄
Step 1: the first of two cleansing steps. Helps wipe away the dirt of the day and great at taking off makeup! Double cleansing with an oil and then water based cleanser has been so helpful but if I had to cut a step, it would be this one because of t...
Incellderm ICD Moisture Cleansing Oil
Step 2: the foamiest cleanser that makes your skin truly feel so clean!
I have only been doing the Incellderm line at night because I need a quick and abbreviated skincare routine in the morning but doing the incellderm line at night has been the be...
INCELLDERM Snow Enzyme Cleanser 120g
Step 3: calming gel to help with redness- bonus for how good it smells and how silky soft your skin feels after using it.
I have only been doing the Incellderm line at night because I need a quick and abbreviated skincare routine in the morning but...
INCELLDERM Riman Calming Balance Gel 50ml
Step 4 - 5 - 6: spray the booster, 3 drops of the serum, spray the booster again to lock it in.
I have only been doing the Incellderm line at night because I need a quick and abbreviated skincare routine in the morning but doing the incellderm line...
gadi place Dermatology First Package EX Serum
Step 7: super creamy moisturizer to lock it all in. The perfect final step!
I have only been doing the Incellderm line at night because I need a quick and abbreviated skincare routine in the morning but doing the incellderm line at night has been th...
