Cleansers
For an exfoliating wash during the week, grab this at your local Ulta. I use this twice a week to help with my dark spots, hyperpigmentation and give some extra hydration during the week
AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser | Murad Skincare
A nice cleanser for normal and oily skin. Oily skin preferred as it gently cleanses, controls oils, and has some great skincare ingredients
Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Wash
Can find it at your local Marshall’s or TJMaxx. First oil cleanser i was introduced to when double cleaning became popular. Cleans out makeup, whiteheads and leaves the skin moisturized before going in with the second cleanse.
Ginseng Cleansing Oil
nice and gentle cleanser for everyday use; more for normal skin than for oily skin or dry skin
pineapple refresh
I’ve seen this all over my socials and I see the hype! My skin loves this as it’s left soft and clean and fresh! Travel size lasts a while & it is perfect for oily skin girls
Kale + Spinach Superfood Face Cleanser
This might be my replacement for chemical exfoliation but TBD. Love how easy it foams up and the texture is not harsh when scrubbing. Leaves a nice flow afterwards as well!
Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator Smooths & Brightens Skin
Toners
Will always have this in rotation of toners because it feels gentle on the skin, it’s affordable, and does well with fading spots
Niacinamide Brightening Toner
Can be used as a toner after a wash or double with your toner as an extra boost of hydration. All my oily skin girls need this as well!! Lightweight and does well with most serums
Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Essence
Triples as a setting spray, a nice facial mist, and hydrating for the skin. The minty feeling does well for dry skin and gives it a refreshing feel
Beauty Elixir Prep, Set, Glow Face Mist - Caudalie
100/10- I wish I bought the bigger bottle of this because it is a lifesaver for mornings when I don’t want to wash my face, for post gym workouts, helps prevent some breakouts, and such more. A dupe can be found in Walgreens as well since it is hypoc...
SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid
helps with the small bumps & upcoming acne and is effective in less than 3 days
Face Toner | Alcohol-Free & Fragrance-Free
nice and hydrating and gives a nice glow to my skin after a double cleanse. heard rice does well with fading dark spots as well and i’ve noticed some differences
Rice Toner
a cheaper and still effective alternative to Towee 28! Love both equally but if i need easy access, i always get it from Ulta
Magic Molecule | The magical all-over healing solution
cannot recommend this more to my oily skin, combo skin, dry skin & hyperpigmentation girls! nice milky texture and not too heavy
Glazing Milk
Serums
If you’re looking for a Vitamins C alternative to focus on dark spots and not your whole skin color- she is that girl!
Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum is 62x more effective than Vitamin C to ...
I would recommend the set over the serum by itself- especially if you want to get more for the price and also sample other stuff in their line

Provides amazing glow and hydration and perfect for all skin types!
FRANKLY PDRN Bounce Ball Serum – Salmon DNA
Moisturizers & Sun Care
Perfect for my melanin girls who do not want a white cast, desire a beautiful glow while protecting your skin 👩🏾🦱
Daily UV Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 36 - Innisfree
Fave moisturizer at the moment- does well for oily skin, dry skin AND if you’re like me- combo skin! Affordable and gives a lot of product for its price point. Mixing with sunscreen formulates to be a really good primer
Holy Hydration! Daily Hydration Face Moisturizer - e.l.f. Cosmetics
I got this as a set with the eye cream and vinoperfect serum. Very lightweight cream for day and night and sits well on oily skin. It’s expensive yes but for two weeks use- I would say it does well
Vinoperfect Dark Spot Niacinamide Moisturizer | CAUDALIE®
I enjoy this face cream for when I need a travel size to come with me. Fragrance free so it does well for sensitive skin AND it’s quite affordable for how much product is inside
Holy Hydration! Fragrance-Free Face Cream
wore this sunscreen in Puerto Rico and held up very well! oily skin friendly, no white cast and I found it at Ulta!
Sun Protection
Skeptical at first but the formula is nice. Layers on heavy at first but “dry down” is lightweight once massaged into the skin
Lightweight Daily Moisturizer
Lippies
There’s reason why she is a constant repurchase 🙂↕️
Lip Balm - Soothing & Hydrating - Topicals
Moisturizing, softening and exfoliating: 10/10. I would show clips of how it really does give shine and exfoliates but y’all don’t wanna see dead skin in here 🤣 Trust though I want to get all the other colors!
Le Chouchou Viral 3-in-1 Lip Treatment | Award-Winning Balm
My sister put me on to this lip butter and it’s great for my nighttime routine and during the winter time. I have dry lips so this is my holy grail.
Sugarlips Original Lip Butter
year round staple for lips, especially during the winter. hack: get it from the dollar tree!
Vaseline® Healing Jelly Original
Masks
Self care level unlocked 🧖🏾♀️ Great mask for a nightly or weekly routine and gives the skin a nice reset
Instant Detox Mask | CAUDALIE®
this is my backup mask for when i need to give my face a reset! burns at first but with consistent use it fades in terms of that feeling; does its job to detox skin while giving a glow

affordable and from the store collection! $4 in price & it was actually very hydrating and brightening!
