Wonderful moisturizers that so help the super dry skin that I get here in winter, these are the ones that I have found work the best for the cold Alberta winters
I discovered when I was 25 that my skin is mixed but dehydrated while battling my first and only acne episode to this day. The episode lasted about one year and I tried everything, from dermatologists to cosmetologists, personalised skin analysis and recipes and so on.
The harsh topical treatments left me with sensitivity and a mild reactive rosacea.
You could say I have them all: dehydrated, sensitive, mixed skin with occasional rosacea and pigmentation.
I've tried and tested so many products and cosmetic treatments over the years and only added the best ones to this list - the ones that work for my skin now that I am 29.
You can only do the same thing for yourself - try and test but if your skin type is as crazy as mine, have a look here.
I have sensitive skin that can breakout very easily! The makeup products and skincare products on this list are products that I have used for a loooong and that work well with my skin! Of course I use a few other things here and there, but these are hands down my favorites!

Did you know most of your beauty products are hormone disrupters with carcinogenic chemicals? As a PCOS girly, it’s important to choose products that won’t disrupt my hormones and put me at risk of cxncer. These products have clean ingredients, and it actually WORKS! (From personal experience).
Ps. All items are scanned using the Yuka App to determine cleanliness. I’m OBSESSED with that app :)

Higher priced products for Type 4 natural/curly hair that I feel are worth not sticking to the budget. Typically, I choose budget friendly beauty products, but lately I've been treating myself and finding that some of these higher priced products are pretty concentrated. A little goes a long way, which means your money is going a long way too.
I love a no-makeup makeup look, and have dry skin, so I go for light coverage, moisturizing products. I hope those who are in the same boat as me enjoy this list
This is my full shaving routine: no bumps, no irritation, just soft, smooth skin. These are the products that helped me actually enjoy shaving and start getting compliments on how smooth my skin is. It’s simple, effective, and feels like real self-care.

This is a list of products that I use daily for my aging "Over 40" skin. Many of these have the same ingredients that are in higher-priced products but they don't have the high prices!
I'm a 29 year old mom with 5 boys, and over the years I've learned how to simplify things more and more, including my beauty and hygiene products.
I'm not the type of person that likes my bathroom or home full of 20 different products of face wash. I choose one brand of a product and stick with it if it works for me.
If something didn't work, I would often donate or give to a friend or family member who wants to try it.
These products that I'm sharing are what work amazingly for myself, and some are actually quite inexpensive which is a plus. You don't always have to spend a lot of money to have good products. But also, sometimes spending a lot of money upfront does save you in the long run and you'll find those kind of products under the products that I use for shaving.
Hope you enjoy my recommendations as someone who lives a simplified life without cutting corners.
These are my go to products for my frizzy, low porosity curly hair. These are my personal favorites that really define and hold my curls for days in a row.
These products are helping me regain my curl pattern. After years of heat styling, bleaching, and wearing extensions, my hair was a wreck. I decided to go natural and embrace my natural curly hair. I’ve tried lots of products but these are the ones that are working for my fine, thin, damaged hair. I’ve noticed bigger curl clumps, less frizz, and some of the straighter pieces curl when scrunched with these products.
The products are listed in the order I use them.
Makeup products that duped the higher end versions! You save so much money and it works as good as the original. With makeup brands increasing their prices lately, these dupes will help save you money!

I generally think that less is more when it comes to the number of products you use to treat or care for your body, skin, and hair. So when it comes to choosing shampoos, lotions, soaps and other self-care products, I'm quite selective. Here are some of my recommendations and how I use the products that I do use.
I have dry skin and struggle with redness and this is my daily skincare routine. I marked which products I use in morning and which ones I use in the evening. I also have a separate section for products I don't use daily, just as needed!
these are the products that actually transformed my skin — cleared my acne, kept my routine simple, and left my skin healthy and radiant. from cleansers to creams, these are the essentials i use daily and trust for soft, glowy skin.

It's fairly easy to damage hair whether you over use hot tools, dye or bleach too often, use harsh products, have certain additives in water from washing, being overly aggressive with hair or simply fine thin hair.

As a licensed esthetican , I've worked with Dermalogica, studied the products and found some I personally love and will always recommend. I love this brand because it is also easily found at Ulta as well. I love the results these particular Dermalogica products provide.

This just in.. the sun is good for you again. But too much of a good thing is just too much. Sometimes you need some quality sunscreen that’s not full of chemicals. Perfect list from beach local
