Step 1 of double cleansing
I really like this oil-based cleanser for step 1 of double cleansing.
SKIN 1004 | Centella Light Cleansing Oil
This balm is excellent for travel portability!
ELEMIS | Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
Step 2 of double cleansing
This wash is so gentle and nonstripping! Plus, it has a really delicious texture.
Dr. Idriss | Soft Wash
Facial moisturizers
Love this moisturizing toner!! I either use this one or the Heritage Store one.
Coera | Rose Water & Glycerin Face Spray
I often apply this before any serums or creams. The glycerin really helps to make it hydrating.
Heritage Store | Rosewater & Glycerin Hydrating Facial Mist
Love this for a pre-serum moisture boost! K-beauty for the win.
SKIN1004 | Centella Ampoule
My friend gifted me this face cream and I am eternally grateful to her! It's very light AND moisturizing.
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.
So incredibly helpful in decreasing breakouts and improving my skin texture!
Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads
These have helped reduce my acne picking habits!
Mighty Patch™ Original Pimple Patch | 36 Count
This works really well for me! A lot of undereye patches tend to irritate my skin, and this one doesn't at all!
Hero Cosmetics | Mighty Patch for Tired Eyes Patches
Body
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
The only body wash that has helped reduce post-shower itchiness.
Soothing Body Wash for Very Dry Skin | Cleansers
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
Go-to travel soap. Portable and gentle!
Kitsch | Ultra Sensitive Solid Shampoo & Body Wash Bar
Dry oil sounds like such an oxymoron, doesn't it? Anywayyyy, I've struggled for years to find some sort of product I can tolerate applying to my body. This oil has made the cut! Note that this product does have a fragrance, so this wouldn’t work for ...
Inis | Replenishing Body Oil
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 (unscented) and the Versed lip oil are WINNERS. Note that ...
