There are so many awesome beauty and skincare products on the market for any price range. After trying many of them through the years, I’ve found my absolute favorites. Here are a few of the best skincare and beauty products in my arsenal!

 

1. Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser

A good face wash is a must, and this one is honestly the best one I’ve ever used. Sometimes, a face wash will make your skin feel tight and dried-out once applied, but the milky jelly cleanser leaves your face feeling moisturized and refreshed. This is the best cleanser, as it doesn’t have many extra ingredients or acne medications in it. Just a simple cleanser that is great for all skin types! Glossier has also introduced a travel-size bottle, so that TSA can’t snatch your great taste in skincare products.

 

2. Glossier Solution

This is definitely a product for those struggling with acne or clogged pores. Pump this liquid solution onto a cotton round and watch as it gently exfoliates your face, targeting your blemishes! This has been the best acne product that I’ve tried. It contains all those awesome acne-fighting medications without being overly harsh on your skin.

 

3. Glossier Balm Dotcom

This, quite honestly, is a miracle product! It can be used as a lip balm and so much more. Dry cuticles? Done. Need some extra moisture on your face? Got it. This product is universal and life saving during the winter months, when the cold air really dries out skin. Glossier’s Balm Dotcom comes in six flavors: Original, Birthday, Rose, Cherry, Mint, and Coconut.

 

4. Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel

I’ve tried so many spot treatments for acne, and this one might be the best one yet. It’s such a small bottle, but a little bit goes a long way. My skin is super oily, and I work at a hectic job. By the end of the night, my face is usually covered in a combination of sweat and oil, and a new pimple will pop up. After washing my face, I put a thin layer on top and when I wake up the next morning, it’s inexplicably gone!

 

5. Peach Slices Acne Spot Dots

Korean beauty products have been on the rise, and these lovely spot dots are a true testament to the trend. They come in a few different sizes, depending on how much you’re trying to cover. Put one on at night after washing your face, and when you wake up the dot will have soaked up the excess sebum, leaving your skin looking smoother (and your acne a lot less noticeable).

 

Almost all of these products can be found in drugstores, and some of the Glossier products featured above can be bought together in the Phase I set from glossier.com!

Just a funky lil girl trying to put my thoughts into relatable words!!! I've had the dream of being Anne Hathaway's character in Devil Wears Prada since I was like three. Maybe without being someone's bitch, but you know, everyone has to start somewhere.
