Cleansers

I tend to rotate my cleansers so that my routine and skin can evolve as I age. I have some mild rosacea at times so depending on when that flairs up I might change to a gentle routine from time to time. And I'm really digging the double cleanse trend...

A cushiony cleanser that removes makeup + impurities while preserving skin’s barrier & leaves a silky-smooth, hydrated finish after rinsing.

I love this serum and it fall right in the middle of the road when it comes to high quality but doesn't break the bank. It is not greasy or sticky and goes on really smooth.

One of my splurges and so far I'm happy with it. I only use it at night to make myself look like a glazed donut 😂 in the morning I feel very moisturized.
Pro-Collagen Marine Oil - Elemis

Another TikTok find that I had to switch to. It's way more affordable and has the same ingredients as more expensive products on the market. I also love how it keeps me in check on how much product I'm using. A little goes a long way.

The price is right man, the price is right.  Now the bottle is small, but the quality of the product (so far) seems to be on point. I can get down with $13.99 serums that feel like $$$$$.

I can't go without a good creamy moisturizer everyday. These are my favorite depending on what my skin is doing at the moment.

I never really considered myself to have sensitive skin but when I realized I had a mild case of rosacea I switched to more sensative prodcuts. This is a great day time moisturizer and I feel like it does really help calm down my skin.

Affordable and does the job well! 👏🏼 Thick and creamy and goes on smooth. I feel so hydrated in the morning after using this product. This is one of those “influencing” products that just makes way more sense.

I'm working on my mild rosacea and I read that a mineral based sunscreen should be in my lineup. I've been using this for about two week and feel good about the product. It goes on easy, isn't sticky and is protecting my skin without further irritati...

Miscellaneous Skincare

It's crazy to think when I was a teenager or even in my early 20's I had like NO skincare routine. It just wasn't a thing back then. At least not like it is today. Skincare is all over social media. Needless to say I've evolved and I like to think I ...

I switched to a more natural deodorant a few years ago, just cold turkey and I've never regretted it. I love this brand, it's clean, simple and effective. My favorite scent is Lilac and white tea.

I'm sorry but this is like the OG of soap/body wash and I can't find anything else I like for the price. Their big bottle for the shower is also a game changer.

I've seen this everywhere and I have been wanting to try it. I love that it comes in a mini set (though still pricey) so I can test it out to see how I like it. And I have to say I'm a fan. The color is so pretty and I feel like it will look good on ...
