Cleanse

I try to keep cleansing simple and effective. For me, it’s all about removing dirt, oil, and buildup without stripping my skin or leaving it feeling tight. I gravitate toward gentle, no-fuss cleansers that get the job done while still supporting my s...

Deep Cleansing Bar (Cetaphil)

Moisturize

Hydration is one of the most important parts of my routine, especially since I live in a very dry climate. I focus on products that help maintain my skin barrier and keep my skin feeling soft. Depending on what my skin needs, I’ll reach for something...

This is my dependable, no-frills moisturizer that always gets the job done. The combination of ceramides and hyaluronic acid helps keep my skin feeling soft and moisturized. I also love that it's fragrance-free, non-greasy, and gentle enough for both...

I use this weekly on my arms and legs and have found it phenomenal at treating keratosis pilarias (chicken skin). This keeps my arms and legs smooth and soft, and while it is exfoliating, it does so gently.
Daily Nourish Therapeutic Body Lotion for Dry Skin (AmLactin)

Treat

This is where I get a little more targeted with my skincare. These are the products I use to address specific concerns like fine lines, firmness, or acne. I’m not overloading my routine, but I do like incorporating a few well-formulated products that...

Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream (Avène)
 
Perla Valencia profile picture
I mainly use this for my lips and carry it with my wherever I go (1.75 oz). I’ll also use it on small cuts or when my skin is extremely dry - I’ll layer a thin amount over my moisturizer to lock everything in. It’s one of those multi-use products I a...
Healing Ointment (Aquaphor)
 
Perla Valencia profile picture
The only prescription treatment I use to keep my skin clear of facial acne. It hasn't been as harsh and irritating as the tretinoin creams I've tried in the past. It absorbs quickly and does not feel greasy.

The neck was easily one of the areas I overlooked in my routine, but this product has made me much more intentional about caring for it. I use it on my neck and jawline to help improve the appearance of firmness and skin quality. The texture is cosme...

While Arazlo does the heavy lifting in keeping my skin pimple-free, every once in a while, one makes it past my barrier of first defense. However, the Mighty Patches are perfect at quickly absording the sebum and dead skin cells trapped inside the pi...
Mighty Patch Invisible+ Daytime Hydrocolloid Acne Pimple Patches (Hero Cosmetics)

Protect

Protection is non-negotiable for me, especially when it comes to sun exposure. I make an effort to use sunscreen daily and reapply when I can. It’s one of the simplest ways I support my long-term skin health.

This is my favorite sunscreen for reapplication throughout the day. I love that it’s in stick form because it makes it easy to apply over without making a mess. It feels lightweight, goes on clear, and is super convenient to keep in my bag.

This is what I use for body sunscreen when I want something that feels good to apply and doesn’t leave a heavy or sticky finish. It spreads easily, absorbs well, and while I do not typically like scented products, this lotion has a pleasant smell tha...
Classic Lotion SPF 50 Sunscreen (Vacation)
 
Perla Valencia profile picture
This is what I reach for before going on my daily runs. I like that it’s a mineral sunscreen but still feels lightweight and easy to apply in spray form. It gives me reliable coverage and it holds up well when I’m sweating. It does leave a cast, but ...
