If you asked me to name my most prized possession (outside of family, of course), it would hands down be my skincare products. These are my daily investments, and I can tell you for free, they’ve paid off in a big way.

Baby-soft skin? Check.
That glow everyone wants? Check.
Hydration? Check.
Sun protection? Double check.

So what’s in my bag? Here’s my no-fluff list of skincare staples that keep my oily skin balanced and my glow consistent.

1. First Cleanse: Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water

This is my go-to for removing sunscreen, dirt, and light makeup at the end of the day. It’s gentle, effective, and doesn’t mess with my skin barrier.

2. Double Cleansing Routine

• Day: Cerave Cream to Foam Cleanser

• Night: iS Clinical Cleansing Complex

I use different cleansers for morning and night. Cerave is perfect for a fresh start to the day. It’s hydrating but still gives a good cleanse. At night, iS Clinical gives me that deep clean I need without stripping my skin.

3. Exfoliant: Naturium BHA Liquid Exfoliant

My skin is extremely oily, and this product helps decongest pores, reduce breakouts, and keep that shine under control. It’s a key player in keeping my skin clear and smooth.

4. Serums: iS Clinical Pro-Heal or Super Serum

I alternate between these two antioxidant-rich serums in the morning. They give my skin an extra layer of protection against environmental stress and help even out my skin tone.

5. Retinol: Shani Darden Retinol Reform

This is my nighttime MVP. It’s gentle but powerful. I call it liquid gold because of how much it has helped refine my skin texture and reduce any lingering blemishes or dark marks.

6. Moisturiser: Clinique Moisture Surge 100H

This is hands down the best hydrator I’ve used. It sinks in fast and keeps my skin plump all day long. Perfect for oily skin that still needs moisture.

7. Sunscreen: Supergoop Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50

This is my ride-or-die sunscreen. It’s lightweight, doesn’t leave a white cast, and works perfectly under makeup or on its own. And yes, sunscreen is non-negotiable.

Final Thoughts

Skincare doesn’t have to be overwhelming. For me, these products are not just about looking good. They’re part of a routine that keeps my skin healthy, protected, and glowing. I’ve built this routine around my skin’s unique needs, and the results speak for themselves.
