🧴 My Honest Skincare Favourites That Actually Work – No Fake Hype, Just Results
Skincare is not a luxury; it’s a form of self-respect.
Hey loves! 💛
If you’re like me, you’ve probably spent hours scrolling through skincare reels, reading reviews, and wondering – “Will this really work on my skin?” I’ve been there. After trying out tons of products (some great, some… not so great 😂), I wanted to share my honest favorites that made a visible difference.
Because good skin isn’t about having a 10-step routine – it’s about finding what works for you. So here are my tried-and-tested recommendations.
🌸 1. Best Face Washes – Gentle, Non-Stripping & Effective
Why I love it: It’s super mild, doesn’t strip your skin, and is perfect for daily use. No strong fragrance, and it just feels calming.
| Skin Type | Product | Why I Love It |
|---|---|---|
| Dry to Normal | Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (Niacinamide) | Super mild, fragrance-free, dermatologist-approved. |
| Oily/Combination | Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser | Controls oil without over-drying. |
| All Skin Types | Foxtale Super Glow Face Wash | Leaves skin soft, fresh, and radiant. |
☀️ 2. Sunscreens – Your Real Anti-Ageing BFF 💯
Why I love it: Lightweight, non-greasy, and no white cast (a lifesaver when you’re running out the door). Sunscreen is honestly the one product that protects your skin from dark spots, tanning, and premature ageing. Never skip it.
| Skin Type | Product | Why I Love It |
|---|---|---|
| All Skin Types | Neutrogena® Ultra Sheer SPF 50+ | Dry-touch, invisible finish. |
| Glow Lovers | Foxtale SPF 50 Glow Sunscreen | Lightweight & radiant finish. |
| Normal to Dry | Foxtale SPF 70 Dewy Finish | Hydrating & gives glass skin. |
| Oily/Acne-Prone | Foxtale SPF 70 Matte Finish | Matte, no white cast, perfect under makeup. |
💧 3. Moisturizers – Hydration Without Greasiness
Why I love it: This one is my holy grail! Feels like water on the skin, gives instant plumpness, and works without clogging pores.
| Skin Type | Product | Why I Love It |
|---|---|---|
| All Skin Types | Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel | Water-light, non-comedogenic. |
| Foxtale Vitamin C Glow Moisturizer | Brightening + lightweight. | |
| Foxtale Ceramide Supercream | Deeply nourishing. | |
| Oily/Combination/Acne | Foxtale Oil Balancing Moisturizer | Balances sebum & calms skin. |
| All Types incl. Dry | Foxtale Nourishing Moisturizer | Non-sticky but deeply hydrating. |
🌿 4. Serums That Actually Deliver Glow + Clarity
Why I love it: Helps fade marks over time, adds brightness, and layers well under sunscreen. Start with a patch test and use it in your morning routine for best results.
| Concern | Product | Why I Love It |
|---|---|---|
| Glow & Pigmentation | Minimalist Vitamin C 10% | Fades marks, adds glow. |
| Foxtale Vitamin C Serum | Skin feels fresher & brighter. | |
| Acne/Marks | Foxtale 12% Niacinamide Clarifying Serum | Visible changes in 14 days. |
| Anti-Ageing | Foxtale Retinol + Ferulic Acid | Targets fine lines, dark spots. |
🧖♀️ 5. Weekly Skin Treats – Face Masks for Reset Days
Why I love it: Great for controlling oil, giving a refreshed feel before events or shoots, and keeping small breakouts under control. I use it once a week as a mini pamper session.
| Skin Need | Product | Why I Love It |
|---|---|---|
| Detox & Acne Control | Plum Green Tea Mask | Calms breakouts & controls oil. |
| Overnight Glow Boost | Foxtale Glow Mask | Wake up to smoother skin. |
💫 Bonus Products That Deserve a Shoutout
- Foxtale Acne Gel (Spot Corrector) – Shrinks pimples in 12 hours without dryness.
- Foxtale Brightening Under Eye Cream – Targets dark circles and puffiness.
- Foxtale AHA/BHA Exfoliating Toner – Refines pores without irritation.
💛 Final Thoughts: Skincare Isn’t Perfection, It’s Consistency
Everyone’s skin journey is unique. These are products that truly worked for me, but your skin might respond differently. Always patch test, listen to your skin, and introduce one product at a time.
You don’t need a shelf full of products – you just need a few trustworthy gems that suit your skin.
