You guys know how important skincare is to me, and how many different skincare products I have tried over the years 😂.  It is seriously comical.  But, I wanted to round up my tried and true favorites that I use religiously and I think are worth every single penny (10x over 😉).  Here are my top 6 skincare essentials:

Tula Purifying Face Cleanser

When it comes to washing my face, I want a “one stop shop” kind of situation, meaning I want it to completely clean my face AND take off my makeup.  The Tula Purifying Face Cleanser does it all 🙌🏼.  I’ve been using this for the past 4 years (no exaggeration) and have gone through more bottles than I can count. If you try one new product from these essentials of mine, let it be this one because I promise that you will love it.  Use code ‘DARYLANN’ for 20% off your order + free shipping over $50 at Tula.

 Tula Hydrating Day & Night Cream

This is the perfect cream for both day and night and makes my skin feel hydrated and healthy.  Daniel also uses this daily!  I know Tula has a lot of hype around the brand, and I’m one to typically be skeptical of things like that as well, but I promise it’s for good reason.  Their products are gentle enough for the most sensitive skin types and really have improved the quality of my skin for the few years I’ve been using it.  The price points are extremely reasonable for the quality!

Tula Skin Reviving Treatment Pads

This might be one of the most underrated product in this entire routine. I feel like no one ever talks about the Tula Skin Reviving Treatment Pads but they are SO GOOD.  it’s like a mini at-home facial that immediately makes your skin feel like a baby’s bottom 😂.  You put your fingers into these little one-time use pads (16 come in a box), and one side is smooth with the serum all over it, and the second side is textured to really work the serum into your skin for a few minutes.  Cheapest and easiest way to feel like you went to the esthetician!

Tula Rose Glow & Get It

I just recently got this and it is definitely living up to the hype.  Rose Glow & Get It is a cooling and brightening under-eye treatment and it feels amazing when you put it on. I like to use it right before I put my make up on to add a little brightness under my eyes.  The cooling sensation is super nice and doesn’t feel tingly or uncomfortable at all.  I prefer the rose to the original because I felt like the original had a blue tint to it that was not complimentary to my warmer skin color.

EltaMD Sunscreen

I’ve been using this sunscreen for years.  I have melasma so protecting my skin with an effective sunscreen has been a major essential for me. It’s an SPF 46 with zinc oxide (so important!!!) to really block those harmful UV rays.  If you’ve been searching for a new sunscreen, I can’t recommend EltaMD enough.  They also make a tinted one if you prefer to use that as your makeup and I’ve heard really great things about that one, too!

CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream

This is the newest product to my skincare routine and you can literally grab it at Target!  I saw it recommended on Instagram one day and since I was heading to Target, I grabbed it.  The CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream is perfect to use nightly if you have dry skin like I do (I put it on right after my retinol that I get from my dermatologist).  If you don’t need heavy moisture every single night, just add this in every few days.  It is so, so good for your skin!!
