AM skincare

I use this face wash AM and PM in the summer. I always dry my face with a new, clean towel to keep bacteria at a minimum. Double cleanse at night :)
CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser, Daily Face Wash for Normal to Oily Skin, 12 fl oz
Â
My new favorite toner. I use it on semi-wet skin right after washing. Calms my redness. The 77% heartleaf extract and hyaluronic acid nourish my skin barrier and soothe skin irritation. I have noticed a huge difference in my skin since adding this to...
Shop ANUA - Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner - 250ml
Â
I use this one with the annua heart leaf toner. Refreshes my skin in the morning. Hydrating and plumping.
Shop TirTir - Milk Skin Toner - 150ml
Â
I follow up my toners with a moisturizer to lock in moisture and add extra hydration. This one is great for oily skin. It soaks in right away. Leaves the skin glowing without feeling greasy. Great for layering skincare. I only use this in the AM.
H-DEW-O Blue Spirulina Gel Moisturizer
Â
My go-to, tried and true sunscreen. Good for under makeup. Not overly oily and doesn’t take long to settle into the skin. The sunscreen that made me love sunscreen. Good for sensitive skin and eyes. Not waterproof.
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum
Â
This is the sunscreen I use to reapply my spf over makeup. I love that it’s a cushion compact so I can tap the sunscreen into my skin rather than rub it onto my makeup. Does leave a slight white cast but it’s not a problem for me because I am fair sk...
SCINIC - Enjoy All Round Airy Sun Cushion EX SPF50+ PA++++ - 25g
Â
I use this literally all day on my lips. I have been addicted to it since I was on accutane. During the day I will use the twist-up chapstick version, and at night I use the tube version shown in the picture. There are so many other uses for aquaphor...
AM+PM - Aquaphor
PM skincare
Â
Better than any other makeup removers I’ve tried. Gently melts the makeup off of your face. I use this when I am wearing a full face of makeup.
PM- Take The Day Offâ„¢ Cleansing Balm - Makeup Removers
Â
I use this to wash my face every night. I always double cleanse. Good for oily skin. Makes your skin feel clean without drying it out.
PM - CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser, Daily Face Wash for Normal to Oily Skin, 12 fl oz
Â
This was prescribed to me by my dermatologist for acne, skin texture and blackheads. I use it at night only, typically 3 times a week, depending on what my skin is tolerating because tretinoin can be irritating. I believe you can get tretinoin online...
PM - Tretinoin Cream 0.025% | Benefits, uses and side-effects
Â
An alternative to the tretinoin cream. Before I started tretinoin this is what my dermatologist recommended as a retinol. Amazing for acne and blackheads. I used this two times a day. Can be bought over the counter.
PM - Differin Acne Treatment Gel, 30 Day Supply
Â
Can be used as a moisturizer AM or PM, I just prefer the H-Dew-O moisturizer in the morning because I think it layers under makeup and spf better. Very good, basic moisturizer. Doesn’t break me out or irritate my skin. I try to keep my skincare prett...
PM - Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Â
Technically a body moisturizer, but I use this occasionally when my skin needs it. I don’t use it every night, but I always reach for it in situations like sunburns or if my eczema is flaring up. Very rich and moisturizing. I used this every day when...
PM - Lipikar AP+M Triple Repair Body Moisturizer For Dry Skin
Â
I use this 1-2x a week before my moisturizer in the PM as an exfoliant. Amazing for skin texture and clogged pores. Helps make my skin glow because of its exfoliating properties. When I use this I don’t use any other actives in my skincare (so no tre...
1-2x a week - Paula's Choice BHA liquid exfoliant
Â
This is a cheaper alternative to the Paula’s choice liquid exfoliant. I have used both and they are both great products that do the same thing.
1-2x a week - PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant with 2% Salicylic Acid - 4 fl oz
Â
I have a collection of about a dozen of these that are designated for my face. I use these to dry my face after washing and always use a fresh clean one for each use. I also use them to wash my face with a few times a week as a physical exfoliant. Gr...
