There are a few items in my routine that have stayed pretty consistent over the years, and I don’t switch them out because I know they work for me. Below is a list of the products I use and why I love them.
Starting off with my Elemis face wash—I’ve tried many face washes before, but this one really stands out. I love how it clears my pores and leaves my skin looking glossy, which is something I personally enjoy. I’ve been using it for about a year now, and I don’t see myself changing this anytime soon. I even have two unopened bottles in my beauty stash.
SPF is a must. While the sun is great for the soul, it can be very damaging to your skin. I used Kiehl’s SPF for about five years, but I recently switched to EltaMD after discovering it in a Vacation Edit bag—and I absolutely love it. I’m already on my third bottle.
Face toners have always been a staple in my routine. I tend to switch them up often because I haven’t found one I’m completely obsessed with yet. Right now, I’m using Medicube, and I’ve been sticking with it for about a year and a half. I’m considering trying a different toner from the same brand once I run out.
Anua Ceramide is officially on my “for life” list—and honestly, how could it not be at a $17 price point? I started using it after a dermatologist recommended it for maintaining healthy skin. It’s lightweight, smooth, and super easy to apply.
Lip gloss and chapstick are always in rotation for me. I probably have way too many, but I consider them all necessary. One product I always keep in my bathroom, vanity, and travel bag is the Rosebud Salve by Smith’s. I swear by it for keeping my lips hydrated.
Hair care has changed for me over time. I was an Olaplex girl for years, but recently switched to Pureology. I think it’s important to listen to your hair and give it what it needs. Olaplex worked great when my hair was damaged, but lately it’s been making my hair feel greasy. Right now, I need something more protective than reparative, and Pureology has been perfect for that.
Lastly, body wash. Salt & Stone has been in my routine for about two years, and I don’t feel the need to replace it. I love how it leaves my skin smelling amazing after every shower, and overall, it’s just a great product. Definitely a keeper—but I’ll update you guys if I find something even better.
