recent skincare favorites

Although I'll never admit to having this whole skincare thing figured out, I do love sharing personal favorite products that work wonders for my combination, breakout-prone and all-around unpredictable skin.


Eau Roma Water by Lush | I purchased this toner on a whim one day when I was shopping in Lush and realized that there is something oh-so-cool and spa-like about spray-on facial toners (am I the only one?!). Let me tell you how happy I am about this impulse buy... I absolutely love spritzing this on in the morning, evening and anytime in between. The rose and lavender provide calmness to the skin, along with a lovely, light scent and a hint of moisture. I've turned into a loyal buyer for life.

Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer | To those with oily skin, do not be turned off by this "rich" moisturizer. I find the formula to be super lightweight but incredibly hydrating in a barely there way. I also love that it doesn't contain harsh chemicals, perfumes or dyes.

Tea Tree Oil by The Body Shop | I must admit, I was a skeptic about this product at first. However, over the past few months, I've noticed the cleansing tea tree oil has helped fade my acne scars and quickly heal any breakouts. Bonus: this teeny bottle has lasted me around 6 months with everyday use. #worthit.

Catastrophe Cosmetic fresh face mask by Lush | This mask was a recommendation from a reader [thanks Nicole!] and needless to say, I already purchased my second pot of it. The blueberry and chamomile in this product calms redness, moisturizes, is super gentle, and smells divine. Check, check, check check.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I'm still loyal to the Camomile Cleansing Oil from The Body Shop as well!

What are your recent skincare favorites? Please share!

  2. I'm so glad you liked the mask! I told you it was amazing! My new obsession with Lush is the D'Fluff shaving cream. OMG it is life changing and I'm not being dramatic. It makes shaving so much easier and my legs feel incredible after! You'll have to try. I'm definitely going to try out the Tea Tree Oil. I've been wanting to experiment with facial oils, but have been so nervous!

    1. The mask is my new favorite - I owe you one! Oh my gosh, I've tried D'Fluff, and I completely agree that will change your life (not dramatic).

      Also, don't be nervous about the tea tree oil! It's not a typical oil consistency, and it clears pores super quickly and naturally. Let me know what you think!

  3. I love how your tea tree oil has lasted you that long. I rip through them like none other #typical! Also...you need to take me to Lush because I've never been and feel like it's a crime.

  4. I love everything about this list! The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil was a total game changer in my battle against breakouts. It's just as effective as prescription strength topical medication but it doesn't bleach all of my sheets and towels. Also, you are totally not weird for loving the whole toner spray. I've got a few that I'm quite addicted to myself!
