One of my fave gel cleansers. Main ingredient is aloe so it's super hydrating and soothing. I alternate between using this and the Skin Script Pomegranate Cleanser.

MIXI Dew Drop Hydrating Serum

Moisturizer

Every kind of skin (dry, sensitive, normal, oily, combination) needs moisture. Since my skin is more dry, I typically use some heavy hitters when it comes to my moisturizer.

Perfect for super dry and acne-prone skin. This is also really great for managing aging skin.
MIXI PEPTIDE RESCUE

SPF

SPF is essential for every single day, not just during the summer or sunny days!

Best mineral SPF. No white cast and gives the prettiest glow to the skin.
