Lorelle | Beauty, Skincare & Lifestyle

My 2C–3A curl type definitely has a mind of it's own, so finding hair products that actually work for me has taken some trial and error. This list is everything I genuinely use to keep my curls healthy, moisturized, defined and manageable, while also giving me the flexibility to wear my hair straight when I feel like switching it up. You’ll find my go-to shampoos, conditioners, deep treatments, scalp care, hair oils, leave-ins, curl products, frizz control, heat protectants, hot tools, brushes and styling essentials. These are the products and tools that have earned a spot in my real hair routine, from wash day and natural curl days to blowouts and sleek styles!

Good body care is one of my favorite little everyday luxuries and I love finding products that leave my skin feeling soft, smooth, and smelling amazing. This list is filled with body care products I personally use and would recommend to a friend, from moisturizing body washes and rich body butters to oils, hand and foot care, fragrance and everyday hygiene essentials. I’ve included everything from affordable drugstore finds I keep stocked to little body care luxuries I think are actually worth the splurge. I’m especially picky about how a product feels on my skin, how well it moisturizes, how it smells and whether I’d spend my own money on it again. If it’s on this list, it earned its spot in my routine!

I’m serious about my skincare and very particular about what earns a permanent spot in my routine. These are products I actually use and repurchase for hydrated, healthy-looking, glowing skin, from cleansers and barrier care to treatments, SPF and a few unexpected favorites. I’ve tried plenty of products over the years, but these are the ones that have genuinely worked for me and that I’d recommend to a friend.
