Witte Artistry profile picture
Another wonderful facial lotion. This one is light weight, absorbs easily into the skin, and is rich with vitamin C  that helps brighten skin and protect from blue light/ UV radiation damage.

Sensitive skin friendly cleansers and astringents for acne prone skin that I use in my daily routine. 

 
Witte Artistry profile picture
I use this cleanser every 2-3 days as it contains salicylic acid (product that prevents/ decreases acne but it is very dehydrating). So, if my skin has been very oily or is experiencing breakouts, I will use this. Get your hands wet, lather it into f...

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen
 
Witte Artistry profile picture
My favorite “body” sunblock. It is a scentless spray that goes on fast, is easy to rub in, provides great protection, and is water proof! I find with sunblock that ease of application is a huge deterrent to wearing it, so having a Neutrogena spray is... 
It stays slightly shiny so you will appear to have that slight summer shine when you wear it, but it doesn't feel oily or heavy. 
This has no scent and doesn't irritate my skin or make me concerned about its contents (lots of sprays smell very chemically). This is my favorite! However, it is very hard to find in stores so I normally order it in bulk on Amazon when the price is ... 
Neutrogena Wet Skin Kids Sunscreen Spray, Water ...
 
Witte Artistry profile picture
Similar to the Neutrogena wet skin kids sunblock. It is easy to rub in and provides great protection. I find with sunblock that ease of application is a huge deterrent to wearing it, so having a Neutrogena spray is super helpful!  It stays shiny so you will appear to have that slight summer shine when you wear it, but it doesn't feel too oily or heavy.  I only get this spray when I cannot find the wet skin kids spray. Mainly because this spray is heavily scented with that classic summer beach coconut smell. If that is your thing, then great! I haven't had a skin reaction to the perfume, but my nose... 
Beach Defense® Spray Sunscreen SPF 70 | Neutrogena®
 
Witte Artistry profile picture
I am willing to argue that this is the best hand and body lotion on the market! I have been using this for 2+ decades and I love it! Don't go with the off brand because it doesn't perform the same way! This lotion is just the right density between to...
Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion With Soothing Oat - AVEENO
