The 5 Products on My Real Shelf

People assume my bathroom looks like a department store counter. It doesn't.

After twenty years of trying everything, my real shelf is short. And it changes. What I'm reaching for shifts with my skin, the season, and whatever treatments I've recently had. This is my honest top five right now, the ones I'm hitting hard at the moment.


My go-to line is ZO Skin Health. If you want to truly transform your skin, ZO will do exactly that. It's the line I trust most, and most of my shelf lives there.


So here's what's on it right now:


ZO Exfoliating Polish. The reset button. It keeps everything else working better by giving me a smooth, polished canvas.

Epicutis Lipid Serum. My barrier saver. When my skin needs calm and nourishment, this is the one.


ZO Peptide Serum. The daily workhorse for firmer, healthier-looking skin.


ZO Growth Factor Serum. My repair-and-rebuild step, and the one I lean on hardest after treatments.


Alastin HydraTint Sunscreen. Daily, non-negotiable, every single day. The closest thing to a real anti-aging product that exists, and this one wears beautifully.


That's my five for this season. Ask me in three months and a couple may have changed, and that's exactly the point. Great skin isn't about owning everything. It's about using the right things, consistently, and adjusting as your skin tells you what it needs.
