For immediate, visible results

Citrus Glow Vit. C & Hyaluronic Serum

My favorite is Citrus Glow Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Serum. It has a relaxing citrus scent when applied, and the light texture feels like an emulsion. It absorbs easily, protects against dryness and UV rays, and gives a smooth and supple finish.

For seamless makeup application

Paradisi Mist Hydrating Essence

Before makeup, miosten a cotton pad with Paradisi Mist Hydrating Essence. Gently pat on the skin. This tightens pores, lowers the temperature of the skin’s surface, suppresses excess sebum secretion, and smoothens the skin. This step improves makeup application and prevents it from falling apart during the day.

For the hot, humid season

Nomad’s Cream Purifying Cleanser

I recommend Nomad’s Cream Purifying Cleanser. As temperatures rise this summer, skin produces more oil and sweat, making it sticky. A good cleanser is vital. This face wash is a gentle scrub that removes sebum and dirt without stripping away skin’s natural moisture, making it perfect for the summer.
