I Haven't Broken Out in 6 Months Thanks to These 4 Products

Similarly to how my dermatologist recommended eliminating the amount of products I was using, an esthetician at my go-to skincare studio recommended cutting down the amount of steps in my regimen. Up until that point, I had been using cleanser both day and night in an attempt to keep my face squeaky clean. But she said that as long as I was cleansing before bed, there was no need to repeat that step in the morning, as it could be drying out my skin (and leading to more oil production throughout the day) — I could skip straight to the toner instead. She recommended the Kristina Holey + Marie Veronique Balancing HypoTonic ($45) to help maintain my skin's natural moisture and pH levels, and it does a great job at keeping my face looking and feeling balanced.
