I have super sensitive skin and I nitpick on the products that I try. Skincare doesn't have to be expensive. i love body and facial oils. I could use them alternatively.
Staring at a drawer full of makeup you bought but never learned to use properly hits different at 7 AM when you're already running late. I spent a full year forcing myself to master one new technique each month — smoky eyes, bold lips, sculpted cheekbones, the works. If you're someone who watches tutorials, buys the products, then defaults to the same bare-minimum routine every single day, this is the exact lineup that got me from ‘I can’t do that' to ‘wait, I actually did that.’
I’ve hand‑tested clean beauty gems that calm even the most reactive skin, from the soothing Madagascar Centella Azelaic Acid 10% Ampoule to the gentle ROUND LAB Dokdo Toner and the hydrating The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum. These picks keep my skin barrier happy without any harsh additives. Save the list or let me know your favorites! 😊

I will always take recs back - what products do you love?

Sooo I was a lucky girl & WON an Ulta Beauty brand collab with Benable! I was gifted a $50 ULTA GC to use in their store to restock some of my fave products!

It is a common misconception that dudes don't do skincare, but lets me real, as a dude we need it. Constantly working in the sun, exercise , and overall everyday wear and tear takes a toll on the male face. Which is why we tend to look older than our female counterparts. But if you want to start looking like your age, turning heads, or if you want to look like a celebrity with your plus one try out some products that I have curated. Note: Every skin type is different. I will put some that any skin can use, but please do your own research before buying. Most of these will be addressed to my skin type which is dry-acne proned skin.
