• Viva paper towels

My skin is combo dry/oily but also a little sensitive and prone to redness. I have switched up my regimen so many times but the main factors for my skin looking its best is exfoliation. I take one of those soft scrubby gloves and use it to gently sand my face with whatever soap, then gently dry with a soft paper towel. Never a normal towel, I don't need no lint fuzzy particles gritting up my moisturizer sequence. (Viva paper towels are my favey! So soft and felty.) I'll mention some favorites and why here. 

Dove beauty bar- I love bar soaps in general and I love the simplicity of this, also I might use this more for the pretty scent and shape and for nostalgic reasons. If you can get past the first three days of impurities coming to the surface of your skin from using the Dove bar soap I think you're in the clear...so tempting not to touch your face at the stage. Pore strips are great though. (I could zone out for a good hour just squeezing every pore if I'm not careful.) 

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Dream face cream - This smells like heaven and every time I used it before bed, I would wake up with skin in such incredible condition. Hands down the best and most pleasing-to-use night cream I've ever had.

Lush Angels on Bare Skin - This earthy hippie stuff is my new favorite facial cleanser. I use it after washing/exfoliating with a more lathery one, just to restore balance and softly rub my face with its finely ground particles in a clay/lavender aroma ecstasy. I smoosh a clump in both my hands with fingertips with a little water to make a paste and spread it on, rubbing gently. I leave it on and rinse it out only when I'm getting outta the shower. 

Lush Argan - Using this right after cleansing with Angels on Bare Skin is my ultimate combo. I find most of Lush's facial oil bars broke me out but this one is the golden one for me. When my face is dry and still warm from the shower, I rub this on my face like a stick 'a butta and just massage that bad girl right in. This keeps my face from overproducing oil by supplying it with what it needs and leaving it glowy angelic.

Lush Celestial - Daayyum I love this moisturizer. So delicate and the scent makes me feel straight up elven. 

& Other Stories body scrubs - When I lived in NY I would always make sure I had a pot of this in Miami Muse. Any scent is good though. It's a medium/fine sugar scrub that lathers foamy all ova my body. Yes plz.

Sabon White Tea Shower oil - There is no substitute. Hail to the Queen.

MooGoo Vanilla Dream chapstick - Because I am forever 13 y/o

Amore Pacific Enzyme Cleansing Foam - A dot goes a looong way. Such a clean, soft green tea leaf scent. I like to use a scrubby cloth to rub this softy in.

And finally, my own handmade product, the Rice Milk and Gardenia Bubble Bath from my Etsy shop Capiro. I formulated this to give you big Hollywood-style bubbles in the bath while keeping your skin soft. The scent is extremely nostalgic to me. I describe it as a cleansing summer rain shower through southern gardenia trees in bloom above notes of warm rice milk. Simply put, it's divine.

P.S.: Does anyone recommend a good SPF moisturizer/day cream?
