Cleansing
The best of the best. This cleanser foams so well and hydrates while it cleans. Between my daughter and I, we have tried them all and this is by far my favorite.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cleanser
I use this as a first step in a double cleanse every night. It feels immediately moisturizing and removes my make up so well.
Prequel Pre-Gleanse Nourishing Oil Cleanser - 6.5 fl oz
Less expensive than the La Roche Posey and also hydrating. I don’t love the pump, but it’s a solid option.
BYOMA Creamy Jelly Cleanser - Hydrating Face Wash 5.91 fl oz
A nice, non-drying option good for sensitive skin.
Prequel Facial Gleanser Cleanser - 13.5 fl oz
Exfoliate
If you have over-40 skin like mine, you need to exfoliate. These pads work great. I will always recommend-buy.
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads, 28
These are pricier, but if you are fighting dark spots, they are worth it.
Jiyu Toning Polish Pads - Dark Spots & Wrinkles
This is a dupe for ExfoliKate. I use it a couple times a week.
Gentle Dual Exfoliant Cream 75ml
Toners
When dry or windy weather irritates my skin, this calming spray is a life saver.
Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray 4oz
The bottle is not as pretty, but this has the same ingredients as the Tower 28 spray.
SkinSmart Facial Cleanser for Breakouts 8oz
My dermatologist says I have two minutes after the shower to lock in the hydration benefits of being on the water. So as soon as I get out I put this on, then I finish drying off.
BYOMA Hydrating Milaky Toner - 5.07 fl oz
I just discovered this Korean beauty brand and I’m really liking this toner.
I'm from Rice Toner Sensitive Skin 5.07oz
This one is new and I’m still on my first bottle, but so far I’m liking it!
Multi-Bright Milky Toner - Naturium | Ulta Beauty
Moisturizer
If you’d like something light for daytime, this is the best water cream I’ve tried
Cocokind Electrolyte Water Cream 1.7oz
I try others, but I always end up coming back to this one. It’s just heavy enough for winter and feels more expensive than it is.
COSRX Full Fit Propolis Light Cream 65ml
Peptides have so many benefits for mature skin.
Naturium Multi-Peptide Moisturizer 1.7 oz
If my face does start to get dry and flaky, I switch to this. It’ll bring my skin back to bright and smooth.
Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Glow Moisturizer 1.7oz
Eye cream
You don’t need expensive eye cream. Really. I wear this one every day.
Versed Weekend Glow Eye Gel - Caffeine & Vitamin C (.5 oz)
Before I found Versed, I used this. Still a solid choice.
Pacifica Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid Eye Cream
Serums
The plumpness from this products helps my fine lines disappear.
e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! Thirst Drops Serum
I see results with this, and it doesn’t have a horrible Vitamin C scent
Naturium Vitamin C Complex Face Serum 1 oz
This gives me glass skin
BYOMA Phyto-Mucin Glow Serum - Glass Skin
Sunscreen
This is my ride-or-die sunscreen. I’ve tried them all and this continues to be my favorite. The hyaluronic acid really plumps and hydrates. This really is a good one.
EltaMD UV Daily SPF 40 Tinted Face Moisturizer
When I want something lighter, this is my choice.
BYOMA SPF 50 Face Fluid - Lightweight Sunscreen
Body lotion
This makes my skin soft all day.
