Acne/acne scars
I struggle with hormonal acne and I know how irritating and defeating it can be to feel like nothing you do is helping your acne. These products have helped make a difference in my skin and hopefully they’ll help you too!
I love this product! This is definitely one I’ll have in my skincare routine forever! I use it once a day in the morning. It has helped with my redness and acne! Azelaic acid is also one of the better acids for sensitive skin.
Azelaic Topical Acid 10% - Naturium
Another product I can’t live without! This has helped so much with congestion in my pores and acne scars. My skin always looks brighter and clearer after I use this. Retinol can be irritating so if you’re first starting out only use it a couple times...
CeraVe - Resurfacing Retinol Serum
I’ve been using this on my acne scars and it works really well with healing/fading them quickly. I’ve noticed that after I use this product, my acne will look less red the next day (I use this at night).
Rescue Balm | The Post-Blemish Recovery Cream | 15 ml
I use this to color correct my acne/acne scars and it works really well! The green color reduces the appearance of the redness.
Rescue Balm - Color Correcting
This is my favorite brand for pimple patches! I’ve tried other brands but I always come back to these. I wear the original ones at night and I don’t have to worry about them falling off my face because they grip really well!
Mighty Patch Original Acne Pimple Patches - Hero Cosmetics
I love these for daytime use because they are less noticeable than the original! They also hold up well throughout the day and don’t have to worry about them falling off!
Mighty Patch™ Invisible+ Daytime Pimple Patch | 39 Count
This is really good for deep pimples that won’t come to the surface! It’s gentle and works well on my stubborn hormonal acne. It’s not an overnight fix, but it does speed up the process of getting a pimple to go away.
Clarifying Serum with Tri-Ceramide Complex - BYOMA
Sunscreen
Sunscreen is arguably the most important step of a morning skincare routine! It’s important to protect our skin and do everything we can to prevent skin cancer!
This is a really nice sunscreen! I personally use the spf 50 version and it blends into the skin nicely. It also works well under makeup. It’s lightweight and gives a nice healthy glow to the skin.
BYOMA - Ultra-Lightweight Face Fluid SPF 50
This is a great tinted sunscreen for those that have oily skin. It gives an airbrushed finish to skin and I don’t get oily when I wear it. My only complaint is that they only offer one shade
Mineral Mattescreen SPF 40 Makeup Primer | Matte Sunscreen
There are no words to describe how amazing this sunscreen is! I love that it’s tinted and I would say it’s light-medium coverage.
Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Face Shield Flex SPF 50
Moisturizing/hydration
Including products that hydrate and moisturize the skin are important for making the skin look healthy and radiant. These are my products to do just that :)
Since I’ve started using this, my skin has felt very hydrated! It goes well with my other skincare products as well!
BYOMA - Hydrating Milky Toner
I recently started using this moisturizer and I love it! It’s not too thick and doesn’t make my skin oily. It’s also sensitive which is a plus!
Daily Facial Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides - VANICREAM
Rose hip seed oil is a beauty secret of mine! I started using it in high school and it made a huge difference in the appearance of my skin. I have oily skin, but this never made my skin break out. It absorbs into the skin fast and it’s great for redu...
100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil for Skin Elasticity - The Ordinary
Discoloration
Discoloration can be a pain to deal with, but it’s definitely manageable!
If you have discoloration, this is definitely a must-try! I had some sunspots on my face a couple years ago and this product completely got rid of them.
Good Molecules - 1.0 oz Discoloration Correcting Serum
Cleanser/makeup remover
Every skincare routine starts with a good cleanser!
This is my favorite face cleanser. Even though I have oily skin, I’ve noticed that some cleansers will still feel overly drying to my skin. This has never made my skin feel like that! This one doesn’t foam but I know they make a foaming one if that’s...
Gentle Skin Cleanser Face Wash, For Sensitive Skin - Cetaphil
This works really well with removing makeup! It also has never irritated my skin.
Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Lips
Our lips need a little love too!!
My favorite lip balm! I carry one of these everywhere I go and I love trying every new flavor they have! They also have tinted lip balms that are really nice. I think my next purchase will be the lip balms with spf.
Balms
I got a sample set of a bunch of different scents for Christmas and I really like how it feels on my lips! It’s hydrating and makes my lips feel soft. My favorite is gummy bear.
