my favorite skin care & make up products, by JT

This is a continuation of JT’s article, “my journey with acne” written for yooou!. Read it here.

All of this skin drama really made me a skincare and makeup junkie! This picture is of me after Accutane wearing make up. I have made a list here of the products I swear by!

Skin Care

1. Cetaphil cleanser – non-irritating for sensitive skin
2. Fresh Rose Petal Toner – smells so good and is also super gentle 
3. Dr. Haushka Rose Day Creme – roses are actually the best, and this stuff feels like a cloud on your face 
4. Glossier The Solution – (only use this 2-3 times a week) this is an exfoliating solution that you apply at night. In the morning, your skin will literally be glowing. I personally don’t recommend using physical exfoliants because they can make tiny holes in your pores and make your pores look more prominent – which we don’t want. Chemical exfoliants like this one do a much better job without unnecessary scrubbing. This product is also great if you have acne. 
5. Cosrx acne pimple patch – I wore these to school almost every day because they are basically invisible. They are a lot better than traditional zit cream because they don’t make the whole area around the zit dry – they just sort of suck up all the gunk!  
6. C.E.O Glow by Sunday Riely – this an oil that is awesome under makeup or on bare skin to give you a boost of Vitamin C making you super glowy
7. Bio-Oil – this is something you can use everywhere on your body, but it’s great for scars both new and old, and I have been using it on my face for a few years and helped even my skin tone after I had acne 

Makeup 

Lip Balm: Smiths Rosebud Salve – there is no lip balm like this one, period. Also, Glossier’s Balm Dotcom in Cherry is a great product that I’ve used forever.

Lip gloss: Winky Lux Juicy gloss in the shade Juicy

Primer: ELF poreless putty primer – I never used to wear primer, but this stuff has literally changed my life. I put it on just under my concealer, and my skin looks incredible. 

Concealer: YSL Touche Eclat & Winkey Lux Peeper Perfect 

Foundation: I hate wearing foundation, but when I have to, I wear the DG Millenial Skin – honestly is so lightweight and glowy it feels like I have nothing on. When I had acne, I used Clinique Beyond Perfecting Concealer + Foundation because it was very full coverage.

Blush: I love the Glossier Cloud Paint blushes in the colors Puff, Dusk, and Beam

Highlighter: Winky Lux Strobing Balm- I am not a huge highlighter girl because I don’t like powder products because I feel like they cramp my glow, so this balm formula is perfect.
