A 2% salicylic acid solution that clears clogged pores and targets active breakouts. It is a live saver for blemish prone skin.

This toner removes dead skin cells to reveal brighter, clearer, smoother-looking skin. I have only ever used this toner because it’s makes my skin feel so fresh and restarted after use.
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner | The Ordinary
Perfect post-gym shower scrub. This exfoliating body scrub is mixed with menthol and epsom salts to smooth and invigorate skin. Lush never disappoints with their scrubs.
Lush | Magic Crystals Shower Scrub
If you prefer a more gentle exfoliant go for this one. This shower scrub creates soft, glowing skin while deeply hydrating with shea butter.
Dove | Body Scrub Pomegranate Seeds & Shea Butter
Unlike most face washes, this one leaves my face feeling very plump and refreshed, instead of stripping it dry. It’s a no-brainer!
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser
Another great affordable cleanser that has never done me wrong. Fantastic for daily use and very hydrating on your skin.
Hydrating Facial Cleanser: Skin Refresh
Any Lush exfoliant gets the job done. This is just one of my favourite scents to purchase!
Sticky Dates Sugar Scrub
Looking for an affordable face wash which does its job? This is a cleansing and purifying wash which is not too harsh on your skin. The tea tree range has my heart!

If you want to smell as sweet as a dessert, this cream is the one! I love a body butter that actually has a lasting fragrance.
Fenty Skin Butta Drop Body Cream Vanilla Dream 200ml
🩹Protect/Treat
Another highly recommended spf from me that makes sure to hydrate your skin. An added benefit is that it seems to clear my skin up when I use it.
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh: Rice + B5 SPF50+ PA+ 50ml
This is an SPF that not only protects your skin from harmful UV rays, it provides that moisture and hydration that most brands miss out!
The Ordinary - UV Filters SPF 45 Serum
This product helps battle my sebum production especially around my nose, where I get it worse. Use in the morning to achieve a more airbrushed and even look.
Medicube - Zero Pore Pad
If you your skin scars up badly like mine, bio oil has been a saviour for fading them. You must use it consistently to see progress!
Bio Oil
As somebody who struggles with stubborn scars staying way longer than they should…this is one of the products that has made a big difference on fading scars entirely.
Mederma Advanced Scar Gel - Treats Old & New ...
Skin barrier is often a forgotten part of healthy skin. This cream restores and protects your barrier. No more dry and flaky skin, only soft and plump skin around here!
Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
I know this is baby cream BUT… if your skin is more on the sensitive side, try this miracle cream on your face and then come back to me. It targets redness/inflammation and keeps that skin barrier hydrated.
Aveeno Baby Daily Care Moisturising Lotion 150ml
Oddly this has always worked to get rid of my spots overnight. Just put a small dot on the spot before bedtime and let the magic happen.
Sudocrem Diaper Rash Cream for Baby's Skin
More on the pricey side but you get what you pay for. A very elegant dewy finish for a barrier cream and can be used as an everyday product.
Rhode Barrier Butter

Bubblegum | Lip Scrub
One of my favourite PM masks to unwind with. It also has sleepy herbs in it to help ease you into that evening relaxation.
Beauty Sleep | Relax & Unwind Fresh Face & Body Mask
This mask is a collagen power house due to the salmon DNA in it. It stimulates elasticity and repairs tissue by allowing DEEP hydration. Give your face that TLC it’s screaming for.
Medicube - PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask

I have been wearing this for 5+ year and I will NEVER stop. It’s a seductive, feminine fragrance with sparkling raspberry, rose, and warm vanilla. The compliments never stop!
