Skincare is one of the most important steps in any routine especially if you’re trying to achieve a flawless base to apply your makeup. Because of this, I’ve compiled some of my favorite all-time products for that flawless filter-like skin. Trust me, I know the struggle of trying to find products that won’t randomly break you out or hurt your skin barrier. I used to struggle with acne-prone skin which was not only painful but also damaging to my self-image and confidence. Because of this, I wanted to share the list of my holy grail products that saved my skin.
- Snail Rescue by Peach Slices
-
Yes, I know what you’re thinking. Snail mucus eww… I would never put that on my face. I was also one of those people before I discovered all the benefits. Using snail mucus has been an ancient practice most popular in France and it is truly amazing. It is a great hydrating agent that is gentle on your skin and rebuilds your skin barrier, resulting in glowing, even skin!
Snail Rescue by Peach Slices is my favorite product that contains 95% snail mucin concentrate. It is an anti-blemish toner that clarifies and strengthens the skin. It is currently available at Ulta for $13.99.

- The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% & Zinc 1%
-
I LIVE by this product. The ordinary is an amazing company with a range of different skincare products. The Niacinamide 10% & Zinc 1% Is one of my all-time favorites. It is important to mention that this product is not to be used frequently and only 1-2 times a week or when having an acne breakout. I use it specifically when having a stubborn breakout I want to get rid of before going to bed, and it works wonders for my skin in the morning.
Niacinamide works by preventing the evaporation of moisture from your skin to the environment and therefore keeping your skin barrier healthy and glowy. This product is currently retailing for $6 at Ulta.

- Glow Recipe Watermelon Toner

First of all, this product smells DELICIOUS it is the perfect mix of watermelon and that nostalgic summer feeling. This is the best balance between hydration and pore tightening. It contains PHA & BHA which exfoliates your skin for smoother skin and even texture. The addition of watermelon provides that hydration which allows for your skin to not get overly dry. This is one of my favorites all-time products and I use it on the days that I want that extra glowy skin. This is a bit on the pricey side and the mini version is currently retailing for $15 at Sephora while the full-size version is currently retailing for $34.

- CERAVE SUNSCREEN

Sunscreen is a MUST!! Trust me when I didn’t believe people when they told me that I should start applying sunscreen and it would improve my skin health. The CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion is my all-time favorite sunscreen. It is SPF 30 so it is recommended to reapply mid-day for that extra protection. It is extra light so it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and it contains 3 essential ceramides & hyaluronic acid to fight against acne breakouts. I can’t live without this product, did I mention it has a MATTE FINISH? It won’t leave your skin with that weird greasy sunscreen feel. It is currently retailing for $18.99 at Ulta.
