1. Son & Park Beauty Water prepares your skin for the rest of your products by gently toning and removing dead skin cells with willow bark and papaya extract. It's also the perfect second step in a double cleanse if you want to nail the dewy skin look.
2. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel is an absolute classic — with good reason! It's famously gentle and perfect for anyone whose sensitive skin needs a little attention.
3. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Water Gel quenches skin's thirst with its hyaluronic acid-packed formula. Hyaluronic acid is code for "makes your skin hydrated af," and this soothing gel is full of it.
4. COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patches suck all the gunk out of your breakouts overnight, leaving them much flatter and less irritating in the morning. The future is now!
5. Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser unclogs pores without stripping or leaving it feeling dry or tight. The perfect basic daily cleanser.

7. InstaNatural Vitamin C Serum partners hyaluronic acid and plant stem cells to reduce sun spots, discoloration, redness, hyper-pigmentation, and dark spots without drying you out. Paired with a good moisturizer, InstaNatural serum is the bomb. I use this every night, and the dropper makes me feel like a beauty scientist.
8. Philosophy Purity Facial Cleanser sends dirt, oil, and leftover makeup right down the drain, leaving skin types of all kinds feeling clean and fresh.
9. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water ensures your face is completely free of makeup at the end of every day (you ARE remembering to take of your makeup, right?). It's super gentle and can even remove eye makeup.
10. Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Mask is *screams* the height of luxury!!!!!! Infused with gold flake and caffeine (ummm, my brand), this hydrating mask helps to reduce fine lines and give you a youthful glow.
11. Burt's Bees Detoxifying Clay Mask lifts impurities out of the skin, freeing pores from clogs and leaving you feeling healthy. Charcoal removes dirt and oils and acai replenishes nutrients — name a more iconic duo, I'll wait.
