For the longest time I would use any face wash that had appealing marketing at CVS. My go to was the Clean & Clear, you know the one with the micro-beads and claimed to give your face a “morning burst”. Well, most of my adult life CVS skin care sufficed, that is, until I turned 25 and my skin turned to SHIT! I’ll save that for another post. Since then, I have been much more mindful about the products I use. After many trips to the esthetician, we were able to reduce the boulders on my face through laser and facials. As you can imagine, it was not cheap, so over the past two years, I decided to switch it up to see if it would help. I tested several products and finally found the products that work for my skin (right now). Sharing my new favorite skincare essentials that have become part of my daily routine and have done wonders for my skin. Added bonus — they are rather affordable and most are clean!
