Step 1 of double cleansing
I really like this oil-based cleanser for step 1 of double cleansing.
SKIN 1004 | Centella Light Cleansing Oil
Step 2 of double cleansing
This wash is so gentle and nonstripping! Plus, it has a really delicious texture.
Dr. Idriss | Soft Wash
Facial moisturizing post-wash
Love this moisturizing toner!! Although it’s intended for the face, I spritz it on my neck and shoulders after I shower, and I find that this helps reduce itchiness. Also, I took a bottle do this toner to my office and spritz it when my face gets dry...
Coera | Rose Water & Glycerin Face Spray
After I apply the rose water toner, I use this as a this a pre-serum moisture boost! K-beauty for the win.
SKIN1004 | Centella Ampoule
I like this serum because it is dermatologist-developed and keeps things simple.
Qure | All-In-One Face Serum
My friend gifted me this face cream and I am eternally grateful to her! It's very light AND moisturizing.
Drunk Elephant | Protini™ Polypeptide Firming Refillable Moisturizer
Addressing textured/discolored skin
My skin is blemish-prone and I tend to get dark spots after my acne clears up. I also have dark circles under my eyes, so I am always on the lookout for products to address this.
AHAs & BHAs are often quite irritating to my skin. This mask is so so gentle while still doing its job—sluffing off & brightening my skin! I’m loyal to this mask and legit doubt I’d ever try another exfoliating product because it’s so effecti...
Dr. Idriss | Major Fade Flash Mask | Exfoliating Mask for Uneven Skin Tone
These have helped reduce my acne picking habits in a major way. Plus the visible extraction of stuff is SO satisfying.
Hero Cosmetics | Mighty Patch™ Original Pimple Patch
This works really well for me! A lot of undereye patches tend to irritate my skin (some have even caused an allergic reaction!), and this one doesn't at all.
Hero Cosmetics | Mighty Patch™ for Tired Eyes
Body
This is the ONLY body wash that has helped reduce post-shower itchiness. Every other body wash I’ve tried, ranging from Vanicream Gentle Body Wash to La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+, has fallen into the *Gentle, But Not Gentle Enough* category for me.
Soothing Body Wash for Very Dry Skin | Cleansers
This soap is antibacterial/antifungal AND doesn't dry my skin out! Plus, it comes with a nice little mesh bag that prolongs its longevity. I don't apply the soap bar directly to my skin; I apply the lather on my hands to my armpits, feet, and unmenti...
Roycederm | Antifungal Antibacterial Tea Tree Soap
Really helps to calm down my itchy skin after a shower. Per my dermatologist's recommendation, I try to keep my coldish showers (I can't do full-blown cold) to 5 minutes or less, but that just isn't possible on hair wash days.
SKIN1004 | Madagascar Centella Ampoule
This bottle has lasted me eons! I find it's really helpful for the keratosis pilaris I have on the back of my arms.
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
This body oil is easy to apply & absorbs really well. It has a bit of a tropical scent but it doesn’t seem to bother my skin.
Aveeno | Daily Moisturizing Body Oil Mist
Lips
The Insta algorithm did its thing WELL with this rec. I’ve tried all sorts of lip treatments, balms, and oils, ranging from Paula’s Choice to Laneige to Lanolips, and this Marin lip treatment (the unscented version), ChopSaver lip balm, and Versed’s ...
Marin | Lip Treatment - Marine Glycoprotein-Powered to Hydrate, Soothe & Repair
Also an Insta purchase… and so worth it! This lip balm delivers better than Prime shipping.
