Things I slather on my face at least once every single day.
An essential component of my daily skincare routine — some for multiple years!
I’ve purchased at least a dozen times and have turned close to that many friends & family members onto it. Feels great upon application. Hydrates, heals, and it dries quickly without leaving your skin sticky. Use it after washing, and after apply...
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Repairing Serum
If you read my soliloquy to skincare you know how I feel about the pH of my facial cleanser (- also I think you are swell :) This is what I’ve used for several years now. Its pH level resides between 5.5 and 6.0, which makes it perfectly "pH-balanced...
CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser Normal/Oily

AmLactin Intensive Healing Body Cream 12oz
The best, thick, rich cream I’ve ever used. Perfect for dry winter nights.
