Makeup Removers
My favorite makeup removing balm. Really works well to take off any stubborn eye makeup. I like to put it on a cotton ball and follow up with a q-tip for the smaller spots around the eyes.
Slaai™ Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser
Melts your makeup away! I really like this because it is geared towards people with sensitive skin. I also like cleansing balms because they don't give you as much irritation as makeup wipes do, and they last a lot longer.
The Indigo Cleansing Balm Moisturizing Makeup Remover
This is a good option if you like to wear waterproof mascara. It is good for getting that tough makeup off.
Melt Awf Jelly Oil Makeup-Melting Cleanser
As a die-hard Farmacy fan, I love their formulas. This is for sensitive skin and really helps to get all of your makeup off. It's also fragrance free!
Clearly Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm
2
I have this, and I use it a LOT. This is great because it's reusable! Just put it in the wash! I use mine with water, and I love how soft it is. It's really good at taking eye makeup off too!
The Original MakeUp Eraser® Makeup Remover Cloth
Cleanser
This is a great gentle cleanser that leaves your skin feeling SO clean and fresh! I love this so much, and it really helps restore and even out any redness and hydrate my skin.
The Rice Wash - Creamy Rice Powder Cleanser
This is a really gentle cleanser that won't clog your pores or cause acne. You can use it with any skin type, and it won't dry you out either!
Superfood Gentle Antioxidant Refillable Cleanser
Masks
For my once a week self-care. I love this so much. My skin is so smooth and any texture I had before is gone. Don't use the Glycolic Toner with it, I prefer to follow this up with a gentle moisturizer to help restore the skin - Drunk Elephant Marula ...
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
I really like this as a gentle exfoliator. It's great for pores and oiliness too!
The Clarifying Clay Mask Exfoliating Pore Treatment
This has been a staple of mine for years. Put it on before bed and I've noticed a total difference in my skin texture and complexion. It really brightens your face and gives it a great hydration boost!
Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment
A GREAT mask. I love this mask, and I love Farmacy. So hydrating, and it softens and brightens your skin!
Honey Potion Plus Ceramide Hydration Mask
Toner
Helps with breakouts! I love this, as it helps with skin texture and uneven tone from stress!
Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution
Great if you want to have smaller looking pores. Evens out your skin tone and helps to smooth out uneven textures.
Fat Water Niacinamide Pore-Refining Toner Serum with Barbados Cherry
Serums
Personally, I loved this serum best under light makeup. It really brought out a natural glow, but you can also use it as a day or night recovery serum.
Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum
A staple in my skincare. It really does improve tired looking eyes and skin. I love how lightweight it is, I can't feel it on my skin and I like to use it under makeup as well as on no-makeup days!
Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG
This is super popular and deservedly so. Great for hydrating skin!
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum
Oils
Moisturizing, best for night use! Leaves skin glowing in the morning!
The best for daytime moisture! Glowing skin all day long! Smells great! Blends well with makeup :)
Honey Halo Hydrating Ceramide Face Moisturizer
This is great to mix with the Drunk Elephant Bronzi Drops, or by itself. Super hydrating, and smoothing. I love this moisturizer!
Lala Retro™ Whipped Cream - Drunk Elephant
Amazing cream. Pairs perfectly with the Tatcha Rice Wash. Feels so smooth on my skin, and doesn't leave any oiliness or weight behind. Perfect under makeup or standalone.
This was one of the first ever skincare items I purchased, and it has been a long time favorite of mine. I love the scent, I love the dewy glow it leaves. Great for natural looks, or no makeup at all!
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist
Primers
Leaves skin looking so good with makeup! Can use with full coverage foundation or tinted moisturizer! (I've done both!) :)
The Liquid Silk Canvas - Featherweight Primer - Tatcha
This is one of the best primers if you're going for a glowy nature look. I absolutely love this!
Glowy Makeup Serum Hydrate & Prime
Skin Tints
Leaves you looking tan and glowing! Natural tan look, not orange. You can mix with moisturizer or use it on its own! Love it for a base to my makeup!
D-Bronzi™ Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops | Bronzing Face ...
For Pimples
For the breakout days, this is a staple. I find my breakouts almost gone by the next few days, and they really help out when I'm not feeling like my skin is looking great.
