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

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

If you’re looking for a Vitamins C alternative to focus on dark spots and not your whole skin color- she is that girl!

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

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!

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.

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

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
 
Uche Ike profile picture
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...
