Skincare is king. Plus, mascara. If you also see the "Mixon method" for skin flooding online, I have a section of the products she recommends that I have personally tried and like.

Skincare
I use this to remove makeup, then cleanse the skin with face wash.
Simple Micellar Cleansing Water - Unscented - 13.5 fl oz
For use with micellar water. Fun random prints if you want ! Also plain white if you're classy.
Reusable 3" Face Rounds--Set of 10 Assorted Print--Cotton Flannel--Porter Lee's
Face wash, washes face. I have dry skin so usually get this hydrating version, but not sure if it makes a difference.
Hydrating Facial Cleanser: Skin Refresh
You could buy a fancy oil cleanser, or you could just use Jojoba oil with no other ingredients. I prefer this!
Cliganic Organic Jojoba Oil for Face & Hair, Multitasking Moisturizer, Pure Cold Pressed, 4oz
The best vitamin c serum. I would love to find a cheaper dupe. But I do see noticable brightening of my skin after using this.
C E Ferulic® with 15% L-Ascorbic Acid - SERUMS
Loved this stuff when I was first pregnant and couldn't use any real skincare.
Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil
Differin gel transformed my skin (before leveling up to Tretinoin). There is an adjustment period! Having a lot of up-close headshots over the years, I started not needing any skin retouching after faithfully using differin. Big fan.
Differin Acne Retinoid Face and Body Treatment Gel Adapalene 0.1% - 15g
Get that retinol!
Tretinoin (topical route) - Side effects & dosage
Daily SPF moisturizer, easily available everywhere.
CeraVe Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen, AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin - SPF 30 - 2 fl oz
Thick luxurious moisturizer for dry skin. Might be only in winter/evening for some, me, it's always welcome for my thirsty face.
Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 Moisturizer Cream
Simple evening moisturizer if you don't want my thick, pricey one. Available everywhere.
CeraVe PM Moisturizing Lotion, Night Cream for All Skin Types - 3 fl oz
A beginner facial massage tutorial. Does it do anything? I dunno!

Makeup
Perfect skin tone match for me, good coverage. Most days it's the only makeup on my skin.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
I, too, have fallen victim to this. But it's great. It like tubes (I guess?) around each eyelash so when you remove it, it's like you're taking your finger out of a glove. Just kinda comes off. No melty makeup residue.
tartelette™ tubing mascara
A classic when my skin needs a little more coverage. I'm not a big foundation girlie.
MISSHA M Perfect Cover Serum BB Cream (35ml)
For high coverage needs

"Skin Flooding"
This creator is 45 and her skin looks wonderful! I don't use everything she suggests, but linked the ones I like below in this section.
A new series: Mixon Method for Beginners 💗 DOUBLE CLEANSING *using @Kosas Plump + Juicy Cleansing Duo 🫧 *in my showcase #MixonMethod #doublecleansing #glassskin
We've got hard water where I live but I've become a convert for putting my other skincare items on a damp face. Hence: this. Thanks to the Mixon method woman on TT for this and the toner.
Grape Water Moisturizing Face Mist - All Natural | CAUDALIE®
Thanks to Mixon method lady! Love this stuff. I've also seen it available at Costco.
Acwell Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner
🐟
DERMALINE D'LEXO PDRN Solution Activating Toner 200 ml
Bod
My signature scent. This is for body, not face.
Lightweight Almond Body Oil | L'Occitane en Provence
If you use pimple patches and find them insufficient, I prefer these, specifically CVS brand. Can be cut to size. Also like them now for regular bandaid usage as they stay out and are definitely waterproof.
CVS Advanced Healing Premium Bandages, Small, Large
