Even though I’m always testing out new products, there are some that I’ll never give up. They’re so effective and wonderful that I’ll stockpile them for myself and recommend them to everyone.

5. Make Beauty Succulent Skin Gel

I’ve been using this moisturizing gel on my face since the summer, and it’s taken care of my skin through travel, beach days, snowstorms, and everything in between. I’ve gotten more compliments on my skin than ever; people have even told me that I’m “glowing,” when it’s the only thing on my face!

4. Trilogy Rosehip Oil

The oil that faded and erased my acne scars when my dermatologist said that lasers were the only thing that would fix my skin. It’s gentle, hydrating, practically magic.

3. Tatcha Camellia One-Step Cleansing Oil

This luxurious oil is perfect for the rare occasion when I wear a full face of makeup. Watching it melt everything away is weirdly satisfying, and it’s nice to know I’m moisturizing my skin while cleansing it.

2. L’Oreal Paris Lash Paradise Mascara

I can’t believe I originally said I didn’t like this mascara, because now I use it almost every single day! It’s long-wearing (like, can last for days if I don’t wash it off) but comes off so easily with my cleanser. It gives me thick, voluminous, long lashes that people always think are extensions!

1. Glossier Milky Jelly

I’ve probably written about MJ a hundred times, but I’ll say until I’m blue in the face that it’s the best cleanser for everyone. My sister, my mother, my best friend, me: four completely different kinds of skin, all using the same cleanser. It’s gentle, yet powerful enough to remove all your makeup, but it also won’t strip your skin.
