When I say that I’m obsessed with skincare, it’s no exaggeration. I had problem skin back in high school and spent many hours in the dermatologist’s office figuring out ways to

combat acne. It took a lot of work, but years into it, we found a combination of treatments that got my skin clear again. After spending so much time getting my skin back to a good place, I don’t take clear skin for granted and have since put a bit of time into maintaining it.

Now, my skin concerns are less about acne and more about maintaining a youthful glow, while preventing sunspots and wrinkles. I take a lot of time to chat with experts in the industry—from doctors to aestheticians to beauty insiders—to find out the best skincare products and tools that come with glowing recommendations and have been lucky enough to try out many for myself. Ahead, I’m sharing the ones that I can personally vouch for and I’m spilling the details on exactly why I can’t live without them.
