Things That ACTUALLY Made My Skin Better
6
items I have spent YEARS going through trial and error, finding which products ACTUALLY work and which ones dont.
I have psoriasis... but I also have developed (out of nowhere, too!) adult cystic acne, noticeable pores, super oily skin, the list goes on....
My absolute holy grail 👑 ...and the item that literally EVERYONE seems to be in the dark about!
Of course you've seen people buy filters for their drinking water-- because who wants all those chemicals and other nasties in their drink? Yuck! But ...
The Jolie Filtered Showerhead
My skin kind of cycles through what issue it wants to have and when, I swear. Sometimes it's big, painful cystic acne bumps. Sometimes it's milia. Sometimes it's whiteheads. When I started using this toner from the ordinary, I'm not even kidding you,...
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, Brightening and Smoothing Daily Toner for More Even-Looking Skin Tone
I am a total junkie for undereye gels! I have tried so many and thought they were all the same despite being branded with different benefits… but no. it turns out I just needed to find a good one that ACTUALLY WORKS.
I gave these a try about 2 months ago, and I haven't stopped using them since. I also absolutely love the fact that they come in their own jar with their own little spatula. Something about them not being individually wrapped really feels good on my ...
Anyway. These have helped bring life back to the skin around my eyes. I work long hours in the ER, and anything that can help my eyes look and feel less tired is definitely a life saver. These have plumped my under eye area and made it look full of l...
And they're like… around $20 if that? They last a while too. They truly do.

COSRX Pink Peptides Collagen Hydrogel Eye Patch (60)
I had this random lady at Ulta recommend this product to me, and when I tell you I have bought it at least 5 times now, I truly mean it.
out of nowhere, my skin decided it wanted to start doing the whole strawberry skin kinda thing. I had these little bumps everywhere, not pimples, but like… the peach fuzz all over my body seemed to have a clogged pore. I was constantly wanting to pic...
Not only did this scrub get rid of those bumps for me, but it also cleared up ALL (and I truly mean ALL) of the stubborn pimples and breakouts I'd randomly get on my back.
So this stuff can be used just as a scrub, or also as a mask. My routine is if I have to shave or something, I'll get my conditioner in my hair and then I will face away from the shower head and scrub this onto my problem areas. Then I'll go ahead an...
My skin's texture now is night and day different. It is smooth. It is even. It doesn't have bumps or clogged pores. It's truly amazing, a new staple in my day to day life, and I cannot thank that random lady at ulta enough.
AND ITS AFFORDABLE. lets also not forget that.

Naturium KP Body Scrub & Mask, AHA BHA PHA Exfoliant with Pumice, 8 oz | 3-in-1 Body Scrub & Mask with AHA/BHA/PHA, Pumice & Jojoba Esters, Helps Smooth Rough, Bumpy-Feeling Skin
Okay so guys… I need you to understand that I am being so beyond honest when it comes to what I'm about to say.
For my ENTIRE life, I've always hated wearing foundation – yet at the same time, always wanted to wear it to cover my blemishes. No matter what kind I'd use, my skin would always end up breaking out if I wore it for extended periods of time, or my sk...
I gave this bareminerals tinted moisturizer a try and like…. I have never had to go out and restock my foundation. Normally it's, eh I guess I'll try a new one. But not this time. I found my holy grail of face makeup.
One, I don't break out from wearing this. At all. I work 12+ hour shifts at work and not only does it not budge, it also doesn't make my skin feel gross or make me break out.
Two, it's buildable. I apply more to the areas that need a little bit more coverage. It's so lightweight you can't even notice.
Three, it really freakin does improve your skin the more you use it. All the vitamins and goodies they talk about in this stuff? Yeah, they're really there.
Four, and tbh my most authentic talking point about this….
I hate paying $30-40 or more for foundation-- mainly because I was so used to it having the same silly issues that i hated beyond reason. This stuff is about $40, but I don't get mad about buying it. I use it DAILY. Like literally EVERY SINGLE DAY. A...
It also has spf in it too.
It is literally magic in a freakin' bottle and I cannot believe that bare minerals ended up being the best kept secret in the foundation world that was right in front of me all along.

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Matte SPF30
HOT TAKE, and I honestly don't care.
I have tried so many different brands of pimple patches. Truly. All the popular viral name brand ones. and yeah they kind of work… but I PROMISE YOU not like these ones.
I have gone through so many packs of these, but they are the only ones I will absolutely swear by.
For one, they are CHEAP. They cost a fraction of what the starface or mighty ones cost (and tbh they do a lot more than them too)
I have put one of these on a blemish, and watched it suck all the gunk out and flatten it in a mere couple of hours. If I leave it on overnight, it will get even the most stubborn, painful, deep pimple out of my face. one time, it actually absorbed s...
I have no scabs or scars on my face now from popping pimples and hoping that the pimple patches of the past would help heal them.
the good molecules pimple patches are hands down the best and i will die on this hill.
