Choosing the right skincare formulas for your skin-type is crucial to maintaining healthy & beautiful skin!

When choosing the right products, it’s important to analyze your skin.....

Is your skin normal? dry? oily? combination? sensitive?

If you're unsure of your skin-type, check out my blog, "How Do I Determine My Skin-type?"

To help you choose the right products for your skin-type, I've compiled a list of my favorite cleansers, toners & moisturizers!

What It Is

oil-based cleansers thoroughly clean the skin—even remove the heaviest of makeup—while leaving the skin feeling supple and soft. They can also be used to double cleanse the skin (first cleansing the skin with an oil-based cleanser, followed by another cleanser).

My Recommendation

BELIF Cleansing Gel Oil Enriched

Price: $34.00

FACIAL TONERS

Regardless of your skin-type, be sure to choose an alcohol-free facial toner!

Hydrating Toners

Who It’s For

normal, combination, oily and/or acne-prone skin

What It Is

removes excess dirt, oil & debris, while hydrating the skin and improving moisture retention

My Recommendation

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Toner

Price: $16.00

Link: https://seph.me/30X3PdP

Exfoliating Toners

Who It’s For

dry, oily and/or acne-prone skin

What It Is

contain ingredients, such as AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) or BHA (beta hydroxy acid) that remove dead skin cells, while providing a deeper cleansing of the skin. These exfoliating ingredients work more effectively than scrubs and offer additional benefits, such as: anti-aging benefits and preventing/treating breakouts.

My Recommendation

Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner

Price: $18.00

pH-balancing Toners

Who It’s For

dry and sensitive skin

What It Is

help to recalibrate the skin’s pH level, leaving the skin calm and balanced. The optimal pH level for skin is about a 5.5. If this skin’s pH is too far off-balance, this can make it easier for harmful bacteria to thrive.

My Recommendation

Acwell Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner

Price: $18.00

FACIAL MOISTURIZERS

Combination/Oily Skin

Although oily skin retains moisture better than other skin-types, it’s still important to properly hydrate the skin. It’s best to look for a lightweight, non-greasy and oil-free moisturizer. A water-based moisturizer is a great option for those with oily skin, since it will hydrate the skin, without leaving the skin feeling “heavy” or “greasy”. For those with combination skin, focus on applying moisturizer on the drier areas of the face, and less on the oilier areas.

My Recommendation

Embryolisse Emulsion Hydra-Mat

Price: $30.00

Dry Skin

Moisturizers that contain ingredients, such as jojoba oil or shea butter, will help soothe and moisturize the skin. Those with dry skin will want to use a facial cream, instead of a facial lotion, since creams are more hydrating. If you have very dry skin, consider looking for a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid!

My Recommendation

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream

Price: $30.00

Link: https://seph.me/30O1eCK

Sensitive Skin

Look for a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free moisturizer. Ingredients such as aloe or chamomile are excellent for soothing sensitive skin, as well!

My Recommendation

Clinique Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator

Price: $54.00

Link: https://seph.me/30Ork8u

Normal Skin

Look for a light, non-greasy moisturizer that will hydrate the skin, without being too “heavy”.

My Recommendation

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré

Price: $16.00

EYE CREAMS

Did you know that the skin around the eye area is 40% thinner, more susceptible to irritation and is also the least elastic part of the face?

One of the first signs of aging are the lines around the eye area

The skin around the eye area loses moisture about 50% faster than the rest of the face—making it the driest area on the face!

Therefore, using an eye cream is one of the most important steps in a skincare regimen. Unlike facial moisturizers, which aren’t formulated for the sensitive area around the eyes, eye creams contain ingredients that help minimize dark circles, puffiness, and fatigue.

My Recommendation (daytime)

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment

Why I Love It

This moisturizing eye treatment gently moisturizes the eye area, without migrating into the eyes. It contains natural ingredients, such as avocado oil, that provide essential daily hydration & protection.
