skin prep
this skin prep is curated based on my skin type, which is normal to dry and with a predisposition to allergic contact dermatitis:
this is honestly one of the best moisturisers to use when struggling with contact dermatitis and it doesn't mess with any of my foundations or the texture of my base, it makes my skin hydrated and plump for applying products
TOPIALYSE Crème - Nourishing, Soothing 48h Ultra-Melting Cream for Sensitive, Dry, Uncomfortable Skin
one of the best SPF50 you'll find in DM because it truly keeps your skin protected. i also attended a beauty event where the Revox staff brought a screen where we could test exactly how shielded we are with this SPF sooo it's pretty amazing!
Day cream for sun protection with hyaluronic acid SPF 50+
one of the best moisturizers for atopic or dry skin and it perfects the base for your makeup look (deff using like four tubes a year for my whole body, this works miracles for anyyyy skin imperfections like rashes, razor bumps, dry patches, sunburns)
Restructuring and soothing balm for atopic skin Atoderm Intensive
these guys right here are an amazing catch if you want face and body SPF 50, great for sensitive skin and also keeps you shielded for a good chunk of your day
SUNDANCE Med ultra sensitive sun protection spray SPF 50, 200 ml
the primer that will for sure keep your oil and sweat away from peeking through your base and also found in every DM store for a very affordable price
