5 Must-Have Skincare Products

I have always been experimental with my makeup looks. I play around with glitter and jewels, on top of my regular makeup routine. It can be a lot to apply layer after layer on my skin. Naturally, one must also consider the inevitable sun damage, sweat, weather, and bacteria that the face is exposed to daily.

I have curated a list of my top five essentials that have been staple products throughout my skincare journey.

1. Cleanser

A good facial and/or body cleanser keeps the skin appearing radiant and fresh. It removes any impurities and bacteria. This step is important to maintain at least twice a day.

This is the cleanser I use.

2. Sunscreen

Yes, sunscreen in necessary everyday to protect your skin from harmful sun damage...especially on your face. Moisturizers have some SPF included but not nearly enough. It's always good to have spare sunscreen protection handy!

This is the one I recommend. It's vegan, cruelty free, and LOADED with vitamins.

3. Exfoliating Scrub

If you struggle with having dry, dead skin, I got you! Exfoliating scrubs are your friend. They can be used on both face and body, and your lips also! Scrubs renew your skin and make it brighter. It's vital to find a scrub that also is heavily moisturizing. This is not an everyday step, so apply as needed.

This is the one I use...this is the hill I will die on.

4. Anti-Aging Serum

This serum targets multiple areas of aging and repairs and prevents them from progressing. I like this company because they are very straightforward about what is in their products.

This is the product I have.

5. Moisturizing Lotion

Moisturizer is important in providing additional hydration for your skin. You can get different variations of moisturizers depending on your skin type. Regardless, It leaves the skin supple and smooth.

A cult favorite...
