Sensitive skin can't hold me back!
I’m by no means a skincare expert. Heck, I wouldn’t even say that I’m on the path to becoming a skincare amateur any time soon! But I’ve always been super picky about the products that I use on and around my face.
I have the most sensitive, pale skin that you’ve ever seen and am truly the poster child for combination skin (it’s somehow dry AND oily at the same time). My face can also become beet red in about an instant thanks to a touch of rosacea, so when I find something that works for me, it becomes a full-out holy grail product.
Here are a few skincare products I can't (or really, really don't want to) live without!
If you are sensitive to smells, this is your warning. Tea tree oil is amazing for treating acne, calming redness, and reducing inflammation, but it has the strongest scent ever. I’ve grown to love it, but it took my husband a little bit longer to warm up to the idea (sorry, Sean). I dab a little tea tree oil on any spots or scars that may pop up and it helps practically overnight!
Amazon: $8.95, 30 ml
This stuff is my saving grace when it comes to hydration! I use this a few nights a week before I go to bed and wake up with the most hydrated skin ever. I also love the GlamGlow Supermud Clearing Treatment for when I need a good cleanse. Honestly, it’s all pure magic.
Sephora: $25, 15 ml
This lightweight solution is a big part of my morning routine each and every day. It’s great to use before putting on makeup because it soaks into your skin super quickly and makes its silky smooth - kind of like how a primer does! It truly makes my skin happier.
Amazon: $18.37, 1.69 fl oz
Sunday’s are for self care! I promise that you can find me relaxing with this mask on living my best life (a bubble bath + a glass of wine is optional, but encouraged). This really is the perfect sheet mask to liven up your skin. The best part is, a pack of 5 is only $14!
Amazon: $14, 5-pack
When a very much unwanted pimple pops up, I throw on one of these little patches before bed and when I wake up, the spot is almost entirely gone! These miracle stickers suck out all of the bad stuff and can stop a pimple in its tracks. Clearly, this is a very, very essential product.
Amazon: $15.99, 96 patches
Are you sensing a pattern here? I just can’t say no to tea tree oil! After washing my face, this toner is the first thing I put on it to make sure everything is wiped off and my skin is clean. After using it for a while, I've noticed that it makes my pores smaller too!
Terre Mere: $54, 150 ml
This may look like a normal towel, but it’s not just a normal towel. The makeup eraser is true to its name and with a little bit of water, it wipes off your makeup in an instant (yes, even waterproof mascara). Throw it in the washer after a week of use and it’s good as new!
Amazon: $20, one size
