Summer skincare season is officially here, and in this video I’m doing an “internet influenced me to buy” haul—but make it detailed, honest, and fully unsponsored. I’ve actually been using most of these products for a while (some for months, some since last summer), so this isn’t just first impressions. I take you through cleansing balms/oils, face washes, moisturizers, sunscreens (face + body), and a few viral bodycare picks—with both high-end and affordable options. I start with my cleansing favourites, including the Clinique balm (love it, but it’s expensive) and the Dot & Key Strawberry Dew Cleansing Balm that I’ve already repurchased because it melts makeup, waterproof mascara, and transfer-proof lipstick like a dream. I also talk about Korean skincare that went viral—like the SKIN1004 cleansing oil (amazing, but my eyes feel irritated if I rub) and Anua’s heartleaf cleanser with 0.5% BHA for that humid, sweaty summer “gunk” situation. Then we get into summer textures: I’m a combination-skin girly in summers, so I prefer gel or watery moisturizers like Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Water Gel. For sunscreen, I share what felt lightweight and what felt heavy/sticky, and I also explain why I care about hormone-disruption claims because I’m on my fertility journey. And yes—there’s also a viral Dove exfoliating body wash variant I regret buying because the smell is honestly so bad, even though it exfoliates well.
