I have ADHD and need an easy, simple, sensory friendly, and generally affordable self care routine to be able to stick with it. With some splurges here and there on products that matter most.

My daily routine and other great products!
My daily morning lotion
Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Great for both morning and nighttime use if you want to keep your skincare routine simple
Foaming Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin
I only use it at night after cleansing, but you HAVE to follow it up with a moisturizer, and if you use ANY retinol products be sure to use an spf in the morning! I love this one because it’s inexpensive and gets the job done! Since adding this to my...
Beauty Care Retinol Renewing Double Serum 1.7oz
This is my nighttime moisturizer that I use AFTER the retinol serum.
Regenerist Night Recovery Night Cream Moisturizer
As someone who hates water running down my arms, getting this headband and cuff set was such a game changer!
Purple Skincare Headband & Wristband Set
I use this with a cotton pad to remove my makeup!
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Skin Care Products
I keep these for when I’m traveling and want to take my makeup off right away, or in those instances when I am too tired to do a full nighttime routine. I’ve tried tons of other makeup wipes and these are just the gold standard for makeup removal, bu...
This is my absolute favorite SPF! It's lightweight and held up through while walking around Disney Land in 90 degree weather. Well worth the price!
5.0 oz Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 60+ - Shiseido | Ulta Beauty
Super hydrating and use it just out of the shower after drying off a bit! It smells great, feels great on the skin, and it’s a fair trade company, so there’s lots to love about it!
Coconut Hydrate Body Lotion
I do love these, but if you're an ADHD girlie like me, they do require more effort than just using a disposable cotton pad since they need to be washed. But these are an excellent alternative if that wouldn't create a barrier to you!
8 Pack Reusable Makeup Remover Cloths, 13x7 Inch
Hair Care
In an ideal world, I would use all of these products every time I washed my hair, but because of my fluctuating energy levels, I might only do what I have the energy for.
It's my absolute favorite shampoo I've used!
Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Biotin Shampoo
The conditioner is also great!
Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Hair Conditioner
I use it right out of the shower after pressing out some of the water while my hair is still damp!
Mielle Avocado & Tamanu Leave-In Spray 8oz
Love how this makes my hair feel! I have wavy-to-curly hair and this definitely has helped keep the curls looking beautiful!
Dream Curl Cream - California Naturals | Ulta Beauty
Love this gel when I want to be extra sure my curls hold. I don't need to use a ton when I do use it, so this bottle has lasted me a long time!
If you normally hate using gel products because the hard, crunchy cast they leave on your hair, once your hair is fully dry you can take a teeny amount of an oil, (this is the one I use!) and run it through your hair to break the cast on it, leaving ...
Tea Tree Oil by Hollywood Beauty | Treatments | Sally Beauty
Makeup
One of the best Liquid eyeliners! The felt tip makes it so easy to apply.
