Amanda’s Must-Have Products:
-
COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid
“Fun fact: I struggle with acne. Sometimes it’s minor, but at other times it’s quite bothersome. I’m always on the lookout for solutions. I used to swear by P50, but after hearing rave reviews about this product, I had to give it a shot. At about 80% less cost than P50, it’s a fantastic find. There’s an adjustment period while your skin adapts, but the resulting glow is absolutely worth it.”

COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patches
“These are a lifesaver! I love using them to target specific breakouts. After my evening skincare routine, I simply place them on blemishes. They don’t adhere well to oily skin, but they work wonders with most other products. These patches are fantastic for taming my monthly cystic acne flare-ups.”
$24.50 on Amazon -
LADY SUITE Rejuvenating Botanical Oil For Intimate Skin
“I discovered this wonderful oil on social media and have been a loyal fan ever since! Just a few drops on your vulva can help prevent ingrown hairs and dryness. It’s a great addition to my self-care routine, especially post-baby!”
