Finding a skincare routine that actually worked for my skin wasn’t easy. I wanted products that kept my skin hydrated, gave me a healthy glow, supported my preventative skincare goals, and were gentle enough for my sensitive skin, all without breaking the bank.
I also struggle with occasional perioral dermatitis flare-ups, so I’m especially careful about the products I use. Over the past year, these products have become staples in my routine because they’ve been gentle on my skin, even during my flare-ups, and I’ve genuinely noticed an improvement in my skin’s overall appearance. They’re also the same products I’ve recommended to my family and friends because they’ve worked so well for me.
To make things as simple as possible, I’ve laid out my skincare routine in the exact order I use each product every morning and every evening, along with the few products I use on specific days of the week. Whether you’re building your first skincare routine or looking to refresh your current one, I hope this guide helps you discover a few new favorites.
