Mid 20s sensitive skin friendly skincare (All seasons)

Purple Star emoji 21 items
I've been using these products religiously for years, and they've evened out my skin tone and suit my sensitive skin affected by past Accutane. Acne is a lifelong struggle, but these products help put my skin at peace. However, let’s remind ourselves...

Face careeee 👩🏻✨

Simple skincare routine that goes a long way! Whenever I react badly to a new product, I can ALWAYS get my skin back with those fundamentals

I’ve been using this sunscreen every single morning (NEVER skip this step :)) for the past 6 years, and it does wonders to my skin - no breakouts, glowing skin, no white cast, unscented, and it even helps even out your skin tone. However, be aware no...
Birch Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ - Round Lab
 
Maya profile picture
I use this 1-2 a week, and it helps keep my skin clear. Well, we'll see, but it's supposed to prevent some signs of aging, and so far, people tell me I look younger than my age haha! But please don't overuse it - it has strong ingredients xxx
KSECRET - SEOUL 1988 Serum : Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng

A recent discovery of mine that I have no regrets about! Glowy, clearer skin, bouncier skin, and not clogging my pores! Perfect for my combo skin cuz I adjust the amount I apply depending on the area, and it absorbs quickly into the skin. Your skin i...
S.NATURE - Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream

Honestly, it’s hydrating, so I have fewer under-eye bags, but, aging-wise, I use it more as a preventive measure, so we'll see over time! xxx
Beauty of Joseon - Revive Eye Serum
 
Maya profile picture
I’ve been using this product for YEARS (even when my skin was at its most sensitive), and it doesn’t strip your skin, hydrates it, and leaves it soft and prepped to receive the next products. I use it as my second step (after micellar water) to clean...
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser
 
Maya profile picture
Nice moisturizer to use during my period/humid summer times, when my skin is oilier and sweatier than usual! It's cheap, non-clogging, lightly hydrating, and hyper-sensitive skin-friendly! Good moisturizer to pair with the S.Nature in this case of hy...

Hands down the BEST lip balm ever. When I was on Accutane (aka lips cracked cuz they were as dry as the desert), this product saved my lips, and I've been using it for the past 7 years or so. Always apply before going to bed and the entire next day x...

For the back acne girlies, this product is amazing! However, if you do want to see results, consistency is key! You're welcome xxx

I have pretty dry body skin all year long, and this body hydrates (you still need a moisturizer after) while having a DIVINE scent! xxx

Pairs wonderfully with my body wash = hydrating combo with a magical scent! Say bye-bye to strawberry legs and hello to softness! I use this most of the year, but I sometimes need something more hydrating in the winter, so keep this in mind! xxx

During Accutane (at my driest), I've tried countless hand creams, and this was the best one - non-greasy, you put it at night, and the next morning they are all soft, no unpleasant smell, just so good! xxx

A MUST! I use this on my body, and it feels like I’m literally applying serum. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. It’s not sticky, hydrating, and unscented (the first min you will smell an alcohol-kinda scent, but it goes away quickly). My friends love this product too ...
Rohto Mentholatum - Skin Aqua Super Moisture Barrier UV Gel SPF 50+ PA++++

Hydrating lipstick with a real honey taste that I always keep in my bag. With this, my lips are well-moistened and glossy! They have other taste options too if honey is not for you xxx
Nivea Japan - Deep Moisture Lip Balm SPF 26 PA++
 
Maya profile picture
I've been using this for the past 3 years, and it's a game-changer for reapplying sunscreen! It's really hydrating, so be cautious of that glowing skin effect, and it's also really handy to carry in your bag! *My trick is always to start and finish ...

I carry tons of SPF lipsticks across my bags, and this one is hydrating while giving you a discreet lip tint! Big summer love xxxx

Winter adds on ❄️❄️

Well, you know, these are needed for our Canadian winters….

Canadian winters are not for the weak, so we need to add an extra moisturizing step, and this product layers wonderfully with my skincare routine! It's so light and hydrating, love it! xxx
Torriden DIVE-IN Low-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Serum
 
Maya profile picture
An extra moisturizing step that (obviously) pairs well with the serum! The skin absorbs the product quickly, and you have plenty left in the mask envelope to put on your hands, neck, and chest! xxx

Great selection of products, but on the pricier side - I buy my skincare products only when they are on sale and if I have to buy something else, like stationery or kawaii gifts. They have online and in-store boutiques, so that's nice too! Xxx
