If you’ve been following along with me for a while now, you know that I’ve had quite the skincare journey (you can read about it here). Since then, I have found a few tried-and-true skincare products that have literally become fixtures in my bathroom. So today I’m sharing the skincare products I always keep stocked and that truly surpass all of my beauty wants and needs.
I know skincare can be overwhelming. Especially with the endless amount of products lining the shelves and long lists of confusing ingredients. It’s important to remember that not all skincare products or skin types are created equal. What works for my oily skin, may not be the best option for someone with a dry skin type. So take your time when refining your skincare regimen. And finally, always do research and read reviews!
Without further ado, here are the skincare products I always keep stocked.

Also, I recently applied to be a #SephoraSquad influencer and it would mean so much to me if you could leave me a quick testimonial through this link here.
Beauty is one of my favorite topics to talk about with you and this would be the opportunity of a lifetime! The chances I get selected are small… like 1 out 20,000+ applications small! But leaving a testimonial for me would strengthen my application and mean the absolute world to me!
Properly cleansing your face is arguably the single most important part of any skincare regimen. It’s obviously important for removing makeup, dirt, bacteria, and any dead skin cells that build up. But it’s also critically important in preparing your skin for the serums, treatments, and moisturizers that you layer on top. You could have the most expensive, luxurious skincare products on the planet, but if you haven’t first thoroughly cleansed your skin, none of it will be absorbed! And the Keihl’s Calendula Face Wash has been my go-to for the past year and a half. This foaming cleanser does wonders at removing all traces of makeup and smells amazing! Always leaving my skin cleansed and fresh.
Even with proper daily cleansing, your skin still has layers of dead skin cells sitting on the surface waiting to be sloughed off (gross, right?). But that’s where exfoliation comes in. Unlike cleansing, which removes daily dirt and debris, exfoliation goes further by removing layers of dead skin build-up and revealing new, regenerated skin underneath. So to take cleansing to the next level. exfoliating with the Clarisonic Mia Smart Cleansing Device is essential. Justin bought this for me as a gift a few years ago and I had no idea how great of a present this would be. It is an absolute skincare game-changer. Since my skin is on the oily side, I exfoliate more often than most and use this almost every night. I’ve seen such a difference in my skin since using my Mia.
Moisturizing is essential for healthy skin – no matter your skin type! This CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion comes dermatologist recommended and works to restore hydration and the protective skin barrier. It’s been a must-have in my skincare routine for a solid 6+ years if that tells you anything about how much I love it! It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and ideal for most skin types. For only $15, I just haven’t found anything else that does the trick quite like this.
Yes, it’s the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask we all know and love. If you’re not familiar, this lip treatment gently melts away dead skin on the lips over night and leaves you with smooth, moisturized lips by morning. But, to be honest, I don’t just use of this product at night time. I use it any time my lips feel dry or I want a little shine. Definitely the holy grail of lip treatments.
So that’s it! Those are the skincare products I always keep stocked for a clear and glowing complexion. Do you have any skincare products you can’t live without? Share them in the comments so I can try!
