Skincare 101 Starter Pack
Are you starting your skincare journey? Do you feel overwhelmed or confused on what products to use? Start here!
When I got into skincare back in 2019, I started off with this product and used it day and night as a way to just clean my face in the morning. If you want to start your skincare journey, I would get this as a starting cleanser.
CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin
Another gentle, basic cleanser! La Roche-Posay is another brand that’s good to start your skincare journey with.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
A staple in my skincare journey. It’s very light but moisturizing. It’ll prep your skin good for the following steps in your skincare routine.
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion
I really like this moisturizer because of the thick consistency. Just like most of the La Roche-Posay products, it is a bit pricey, but I believe it’s worth it.
La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
If you want a more moisturizing finish to your skincare routine, this is the sunscreen you should use! Also for my black girls, this does not leave a white cast residue ;)
Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30
(AM & PM; as needed) I've used these pimple patches since 2021! I wait until my pimples get a little white and then put them on.
Mighty Patch™ Original Hydrocolloid Patch
2026 Fall/Winter Skincare Routine (AM & PM)
My updated Fall/Winter Skincare Routine! I have acne-prone/combination skin, and in addition to that, I use PRESCRIBED medications, Tretinoin and Spironolactone, from my dermatologist. This skincare routine is also Tretinoin-friendly!
(AM) Salicylic Acid is a important ingredient when tackling acne. It's best to use this in the morning if you're on Tretinoin.
CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser
(AM & PM) Azelaic Acid helps with acne, and Niacinamide helps with skin elasticity and fine lines. It keeps everything at bay.
medicube Azelaic Acid Niacinamide Clarifying Toner
(AM & PM) Super hydrating, very calming on the skin, and it's a thick moisturizer, a staple for the colder months.
BYOMA Hydrating Milky Moisturizer
I recently switched to this sunscreen for my face! Currently obsessed with it because it’s not as oily and is compatible for makeup routines
Black Girl Sunscreen Make It Matte SPF 45 Gel for Face
(PM) The perfect cleanser for my Tretinoin users! It's very hydrating and not harsh on the skin. It's also good for removing makeup.
ANUA PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Cleansing Foam
(PM, 3x a week) I love me a good face mask, specifically one that helps with acne-prone skin! I use this before Tretinoin.
