It probably won’t surprise you to hear that my friends and family often ask me for product recommendations. It’s par for the course as a beauty writer and skincare expert, and I’m always happy to comply! I use these products in my everyday routine, and they’re the reason I can sit here the morning after a long flight and still have good skin!

Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser

The cleanser to end all cleansers, I’ve recommended MJ to everyone from my sister to my mother to my best friend to work associates. It’s gentle, effective at removing even the most stubborn makeup, and affordable. I’ve only ever heard rave reviews in return, and the repeat buying speaks for itself.

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better™ CC+™ Cream with SPF 50+

I hate wearing heavy makeup, but I like to have flawless skin, so I mix a little bit of this in with my daily moisturizer. It’s also got SPF, so your skin is protected and perfected.

Tatcha Camellia Cleansing Oil

When I need a double-cleanse, I start with this oil before using Milky Jelly. It’s a luxurious cleansing experience that removes all my makeup without stripping my skin. In fact, it’s supremely hydrating.
