Favorite Skincare Products 2022

I haven’t written about my favorite skincare products in a while, meaning there are plenty of new ones but also some classics that have stayed in the running. A little about my skin, I have combination skin, I suffer from hormonal acne at times, and I can get inflamed or irritated skin due to stress and excessive travel, which, as you know, I travel lots!

This article features my favorite face wash, scrubs, toners, moisturizers, serums, sunscreen, lip balms, body scrubs, and lotions!

My Favorite Face Wash

  • Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser - I use Cetaphil for nighttime washes; I always bring it when I travel; it removes makeup pretty well and is good for dry & combo skin!

  • Superfood Cleanser by Youth To The People - I use this cleanser when I don’t have any current breakouts; it cleans my face well, doesn’t leave it dry, and prevents acne while also being hydrating, and is good for sensitive skin!

  • Differin Daily Deep Cleanser - I use this to prevent acne or when I have acne. I really love this cleanser its a smooth acne cleanser, but it isn’t as hydrating, so after I use it, I always moisturize extra, but it does wonders on breakouts and is a staple for me!

  • La Roche Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Face Wash - I usually use this in the summer since I live in South Florida. The humidity is through the roof, and it makes my skin oily, but I don’t want to dry it out either, so this is a perfect balance!

My Favorite Face Scrubs

  • Tatcha Rice Wash Cleanser - I am obsessed with this scrub; well, it’s technically not one, but for me, it is. It has little rice grains in it that exfoliate my face and make it so soft; I am obsessed. Also, it says it’s a limited edition now and that better not be true, I have used it for a year now, and I pray it doesn’t leave the shelves of Sephora any time soon.

  • Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Scrub - I love this scrub; it helps prevent breakouts or eliminate them when I have them. I usually bring this scrub when I travel, especially in the summer!

  • La Roche Posay Ultra Fine Scrub - This scrub is so silky, exfoliates and doesn’t dehydrate, leaves my face rejuvenated, and a little goes a long way! This is my daily go-to exfoliant.

My Favorite Toners

  • Tatcha The Texture Tonic - This is a great toner to even out textures and impurities. The bottle is honestly really big and lasted me a long time. It helped even out my skin tone, and I loved it.

  • Glow Recipe Watermelon Toner - Out of all of the toners I have used, this one is my absolute favorite. It makes my skin hydrated, removes impurities, goes on like silk, smells amazing, and gives you a glowy look. I use this toner daily!

  • La Roche Posay Acne Toner - I use this during breakouts; it’s a bit drying, so don’t overdo it, but this toner works magic on acne; I highly recommend it.

  • Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Toner - This toner is a great daily toner for those with dry, combo, or sensitive skin. It goes on so smoothly and leaves your skin refreshed and hydrated.

My Favorite Moisturizers

  • Avène Light Moisturizer - This is my daily moisturizer. It’s perfect for sensitive skin and provides the perfect amount of moisture for my skin. Works beautifully under primer or with sunscreen etc!

  • Tatcha The Water Cream - This moisturizer goes on like literal silk. It’s smooth, moisturizing, and lasts a long time.

  • Youth To The People Superfood Moisturizer - I would say this moisturizer is tied with Tatcha above. To me, they are very similar and do the same things, but I love them both. A super light whipped moisturizer that leaves my skin supple and soft.

My Favorite Serums

  • Glow Recipe Strawberry Serum - This serum does wonders for my skin. It helps with blemishes, uneven skin tone, and texture. When I first started using it, it felt a little spicy on my skin, I don’t know a better way to describe that, I think because of the salycilic acid etc., that’s in it to fight acne. If you have really sensitive skin, I would test it on a skin patch sure to make sure it doesn’t irritate you. It works wonders for me, and I love it so much.

  • Glow Recipe Dew Drops - I absolutely love these drops. They are perfect for sensitive skin and they provide a dewy glow that’s is honestly magical. Its such a smooth and silky serum, I am obsessed. It works great under primer and with sunscreen!

  • First Aid Beauty Repair Oil - This is my favorite oil. It might seem insane to put oil on your face or when you have acne, but this oil is my savior. Whenever I have breakouts, dried out, or stressed skin, I use this oil before bed. It soothes my skin, replenishes it, and I always travel with it.

My Favorite Sunscreen

  • Supergoop Glowscreen - I have tried the unseen, and honestly, if you have oily skin and don’t mind a matte look, the unseen is great. I prefer a dewy and glowy look which is why I love the glowscreen. I have tried sunscreens by Tula as well and still find the glowscreen by Supergoop to be my favorite!

My Favorite Lip Balms

  • Lano Strawberry 101 Treatment - I use and bring this lip balm everywhere. It smells so good and keeps your lips hydrated all day. I always have one in my purse or travel bag!

  • Laniege Lip Glowly Balm - My favorite scent is gummy bear. It smells so good, and even though the others are good, gummy bear, to me is the best.

My Favorite Body Scrubs

My Favorite Lotions

  • Summer Fridays Body Lotion - This lotion smells like actual heaven. It’s a soft scent that’s perfect for everyday wear and is hydrating. It’s a lighter lotion, not too thick, not greasy at all, and leaves your skin smooth, hydrated, and glowy.

  • Bum Bum Cream - This bum bum cream is actually my favorite thing on Earth. It smells like vanilla goodness. It smooths out skin, hydrates, and leaves skin silky, glowy, and soft. I bring this stuff literally everywhere.

My Guilty Pleasure

  • Avène Thermal Spring Water - I spray this on my face daily. I am obsessed with it for no reason, but it makes me happy and my skin happy, so it’s a win-win.
