Skincare Series: Top 5 Skincare Products

I try to keep to my skincare routine 24/7 because everytime I get a tiny ways off track, but skin goes psycho. But as long as I’m not traveling, I do the same thing to my face day in and day out (I only switch up products as the seasons/weather change). What skincare products can I absolutely not live without? I’ve got a few that definitely make my skin happier and more clear than it’s ever been. Without further ado, I present to you my top five, top five, top five (*Drake voice*) skincare products.

Since we are smack in the middle of summer, I’ve moved into my summer skincare routine. I’ve had to add in a few new products primarily because this Texas heat is no joke and literally kicks Georgia’s butt (but Texas can’t hold a candle to the Georgia’s humidity index). Mainly, I’ve boosted my sunscreen application and made sure to triple the intensity of my moisturizer, but everything else has been in my rotation for at least four years or, in some instances, much longer.

All of these products are recommended by me after years of testing. No affiliate links were used in this posting.

Murad Daily Cleansing Foam

My face lives and dies by this product. I kid you not! Since this is a foam, I don’t travel with it and unfortunately my skin always breaks out when I travel. But as soon as I get home and smear this all over my face for a few days, I’m good to go. It’s great for sensitive skin and really gets all the dirt out of your pores in no time! Sephora, $30.

GlamGlow YouthMud Face Mask

Talk about a staple product. I purchased this for my mom for Christmas maybe two years ago and ended up using it all for myself! If I feel my skin is getting too dry or dull, I’ll throw this on for 15 minutes and come out feeling like a brand new woman. It’s an investment, but well worth the money. Sephora, $69.

Neutrogena Age Shield Face Sunscreen SPF 110


This Texas heat is crazy. You can’t put one foot out of the door without cloaking it in extra-strength sunblock. If you aren’t a fan of sunburn, I suggest you add this into your skincare routine. A thin coat on your face (either as your moisturizer or accompanying it) will make all the difference. My dermatologist swears by it. Ulta, $13.

Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15


This little baby is something that works FANTASTIC in humid weather and I applied religiously when I lived on the East Coast. This moisturizer (with a little sun protection added in) works as a mattifier and controls oil like a champ. Use with a mattifying makeup primer and it will keep your oils at bay for twice as long. Sephora, $40.

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask

This bad boy is the newest addition to my nightly skin care routine. My skin has taken a beating since relocating to Texas and is much dryer than normal. I try to drink as much water as I can during the day, but it just seems to evaporate from my system as soon as I step out into the heat. This product really puts the moisture back into my face so I can continue to apply makeup to a smooth surface the next morning. Origins,  $26.
