I’m a Shopping Editor, and These Are My 2025 Skincare Resolutions

Bedsure Satin Pillowcase for Hair and Skin- Set of 2

Silk and satin pillowcases have been a game-changer for my skin (and hair—no knots!). My skincare stays on my face, and I wake up with less redness and breakouts. I change mine 3 times a week, and my skin looks great. This set of 2 is a great price.

Norate Makeup Brush Cleaner

I know I should clean my brushes every time I do makeup, but I clean them once a week—and that’s a big improvement! I no longer get reactions/breakouts, and I love how soft my brushes feel afterward.

AOA Studio Collection Makeup Sponge Set- Set of 6

Cleaning sponges takes more time than brushes, and I like using a new one often. Sponges can be pricey, and cleaning them daily is a hassle. These are affordable, soft, and expand larger—I've used them since 2020!

Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser

I have sensitive, oily skin, and this cleanser has been a staple in my routine for over a year. It controls oil, minimizes pores, and keeps breakouts in check without stripping my skin. I rotate it in once a week—do what works best for you.

Kylie Skin Sugar Lip Scrub

Exfoliation isn’t just for your face. I use Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Skin exfoliating sugar scrub, which removes dead skin and leaves my lips soft. My lipstick and gloss look so much better after using it.

Youkool Lip Scrub Brush- Set of 2

I use these sticks with Kylie Skin Sugar Lip Scrub for smoother lips. Lip balm alone won’t fix cracked, peeling lips—it’s crucial to exfoliate regularly. These tools are easy to use and leave my lips super smooth.

Fimibuke Half Gallon Water Bottle with Sleeve

I used to dismiss "drink more water," but it’s made a big difference for my skin. I love this motivational water bottle with time checks and a carrying strap—it’s easy to carry and comes in cute colors!

The Outset by Scarlett Johansson Gentle Micellar Antioxidant Cleanser

With reactive skin, I've focused on restoring my barrier and building resilience. This is the first micellar cleanser I’ve used that lathers, and it’s become my go-to for its gentle, hydrating formula. It cleans without stripping and pairs well with active ingredients, so I don’t overload my skin.

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

This oil cleanser removes makeup, sunscreen, and clay masks effortlessly. I use it to double cleanse and control my oily skin. It works by attracting excess oil—just apply to dry skin, massage, then add water.

Alibeiss Pre-Moistened Lens Wipes, Pack of 100

Your devices carry dirt and bacteria, even if they look clean. These pre-moistened wipes clean phones, tablets, keyboards, and glasses. Keep them handy—they help prevent breakouts and clogged pores.

Peace Out Retinol Face Stick

After using the Peace Out Retinol Face Stick, I woke up to smoother, clearer skin—like a photo filter. My skin is brighter, softer, and acne marks have faded. I use it every 3 days for great results.

The Outset by Scarlett Johansson Purifying Blue Clay Mask

I use this clay mask twice a week for my oily, sensitive skin (but use at the frequency that works for you). It clears pores without drying, calms redness, and balances oil. It’s especially great for my T-zone and chin, and removes easily, leaving skin soft.

Revision Skincare Pore Purifying Clay Mask

It unclogs pores, absorbs excess oil, and leaves my skin smooth, refined, and polished. This has become a staple I’ll keep rebuying.

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask with Squalane

This mask made my skin super soft after one use. I apply it overnight and wake up to hydrated, brighter, and clearer skin. Highly recommend for dry skin!

EltaMD UV Daily Tinted Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide

As an "indoor person," I wasn’t using sunscreen daily, but now I swear by this tinted formula. It protects sensitive skin, calms acne, rosacea, and discoloration, and leaves no residue. It’s a bit pricey, but a little goes a long way.

Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro

I hesitated for two years due to the price, but after using it five days a week since 2022, my skin is clearer, glowing, and less oily. The mask targets anti-aging and acne in just three minutes a day.

StriVectin Tighten & Lift Advanced Neck Cream PLUS

If you spend a lot of time on your phone or computer, this cream is a must. It targets tech neck, tightening and lifting the skin while reducing lines and evening out skin tone.  

Florence by Mills Floating Under The Eyes Depuffing Gel Pads

As someone who barely sleeps, I love these under-eye gels. They’re the most hydrating I’ve tried, reducing puffiness, dark circles, and leaving my skin soft. They stay in place and are even more refreshing when kept in the fridge. I use them daily.

Persil Laundry Detergent Liquid, Free and Sensitive, Unscented and Hypoallergenic for Sensitive Skin

I used to struggle with skin irritation from scented detergents, but this unscented one is a game-changer. It removes stains without dyes or fragrances, making laundry easier and protecting my skin.

Clean Skin Club XL Premium Face Wipes

I use these wipes when I can't wash my face at the sink, like at the gym or during travel. They're gentle on my reactive skin, and one large wipe refreshes my face and neck. After over a year of use, my skin stays clear and under control.

Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL Travel 3 Pack

I love Clean Skin Club Towels, but the original box is bulky for on-the-go use. These compact travel cases fit easily in my bag and are perfect for wiping off sweat or drying my face after cleansing. They're hygienic, help control my oily skin, and have become a must-have.

NanoSteamer Large 3-in-1 Nano Ionic Facial Steamer with Precise Temp Control

Using a facial steamer consistently keeps my skin soft and less congested, especially with oily skin. I use it bi-weekly, and it helps my skincare absorb better. This affordable, three-in-one steamer also functions as a towel warmer and humidifier.

Pimples happen, even with a solid skincare routine. Keep these pimple patches on hand—they work fast, don't dry out, and won't irritate your skin. They're the best I've tried.
