What I’m currently putting on my face:

Cleansing with Ere Perez’s Gingko Cleansing Micellar Water 

I love this micellar water because it’s alcohol-free and doesn’t contain synthetic fragrance. It’s made from aloe vera and ginkgo biloba which is rich in anti-oxidants to so it actually does something good for my skin aside from just removing makeup and dirt!

Exfoliating with Goldfaden M.D. Doctor’s Scrub

As you know, I really do swear by Goldfaden M.D. And yes I partner with them often but I also consistently purchase my own products because it really is my favorite skin care brand. I honestly can’t believe how well their products work even though they’re totally plant based.

I feel like I don’t need to preach about this daily exfoliator anymore because you’ve probably heard me obsess over it 100x. This is truly skin-changing and in my opinion totally worth the splurge. I use it every day. Oh and remember if you’re not exfoliating regularly, nothing else you put on your skin will work!

Toning with Josh Rosebrook Daily Acid Toner

This is new to my regimen but I’m very excited about it. I remember the brand announcing this product would be coming out last Spring and I saved it in my phone notes and of course totally forgot about it. I swear by Josh Rosebrook’s vital balm cream and hydrating accelerator and love their Instagram account because they always go into detail about the ingredients and science behind their products.

Smoothing fine lines with Goldfaden M.D. Needle-less Line serum 

K this is expensive! But a little goes a long way because you only need to use one to two drops at a time on fine lines. I’ve been using it for about 2 months now and really do see a difference in the overall smoothness + brightness of my skin – FYI it makes your skin feel pretty tight when applied but soaks in quickly.

 

Moisturizing with Goldfaden M.D. Vital Boost

Surprise: more Goldfaden M.D. The vital boost moisturizer isn’t cheap but I’m so addicted to how it makes my skin feel. It’s SO hydrating and makes my skin crazy soft.

If you’re looking for a more affordable clean moisturizer, I’ve also recently used Evolve Beauty Organics Renew Facial Cream and it’s great. I have used their hyaluronic serum in the past and really liked it as well!

Hydrating with Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Oil

SO, everyone seems to rave about Youth to the People. I posted something on my story about wanting to try one of their products and so many people replied swearing by their stuff. I just started using this oil so can’t really say too much about it yet but I have high hopes!

Sun protection with Beautycounter’s Dew Tint Moisturizer

I’ve been using this for years. I love the thick consistency and how it makes my skin look so dewy, plus it is SPF 30 so during these colder months it’s plenty for daily sun protection.

Lip Hydration with Kosa LipFuel Hyaluronic Lip Balm

Just started using this but have heard great things about Kosas – their motto is “makeup for skincare freaks” – um, love. The reviews for this lip balm are awesome. One girl said her lips got addicted to the Laniege lip mask (been there) and started to peel so bad in between purchases and that this lip balm totally saved/healed her lips!

And here are some other products I have my eye on…

My sister – who is basically a self taught skincare expert – has been using and really liking Moon Juice. She has the acid potion and I’ve also heard good things about the plump jelly.

My friend whom I trust implicitly with reviews about literally everything (especially wine, you know who you are) is swearing by Osea products. I specifically want to give their hyaluronic serum a try!

I haven’t gotten too familiar with The Ordinary products but my sister says this one is a must. Also their products are INSANELY cheap, most stuff is under $10.
