Straight, thin lashes that disappear by noon. Sound familiar?

My skin is a combination of dry, sensitive, and acne-prone (a triple threat, who would have thought?). It has taken me YEARS to figure out what works well for me. For me, a good routine includes minimum 1-2 products, maximum 5 products. Nothing more or less. • Two cleansers (one oil-based and one water-based) • One day serum • One treatment product • One moisturiser / barrier cream • One sunscreen Cleanse, hydrate, treat, moisturise, and protect! I promise, you absolutely do not need 15-20 different products together to have good skin. Sooo, when it comes to maintaing that face card when having one OR a combination of either dry, acne-prone, or sensitive skin types, I got you covered.🤞🏽

As we age we lose our skin elasticity and develop some fine lines.

I have sensitive skin and all the products in this list are what I’ve tried and used. ☺️

Some of my must haves that keep beauty maintenance easy and aren't breaking the bank.

My everyday daytime and evening skincare routine. As well as my makeup routine (why I do if I’m feeling it)This is what I do most mornings and evenings, just what I’ve found works currently for my skin (at 36). Most are really affordable with one or two luxury items to complement them.In the mornings I usually wash my face with water followed by a rose toner (spray), hyaluronic acid and a vitamin C serum. It’s just enough to make my skin feel fresh and hydrated without loads of steps. I either finish with a tinted SPF (if I’m going to wear make up) so I’ve got a bit of coverage while still protecting my skin. If I’m not wearing make up I’ll put on a moisturisers with an spf. Makeup really depends on my mood. Some days I don’t bother at all, but if I do I keep it quick and easy. Putty blush, a bit of bronzer, mascara, eyeliner, lipstick and brows. Most of these are things I’ve used for ages or keep going back to because they’re simple and just work. Evening routine is a double cleanse with a cleansing balm and then a salicylic acid gel cleanser. Followed by glycolic acid toner. I then tend to alternate between using retinal (the most expensive item in my routine!) and niacinamide followed by a good moisturiser.

I have sensitive skin and autoimmune disorders. This list is curated with products that I use daily to keep my skin and hair healthy and feeling great!

TikTok finds that make mom life easier, cuter, and a little more fun. Sharing the ones that are actually worth it!

My hands looked like they belonged to a desert lizard by February. Constant sanitizing at work left them raw, peeling, and stinging every time I washed them. After burning through a dozen brands that all promised moisture but delivered pain, I landed on these. If you sanitize ten times a day and your knuckles are paying the price, save yourself the trial and error.

Here are some of the products I recommend or thought they seemed useful, and would make you feel luxurious. I've picked items I thought were high quality, with decent reviews.

Spending 6+ hours buried in textbooks and lecture slides left my eyes bloodshot, dry, and so strained I started getting headaches by Thursday. If you're a student or remote worker whose eyes feel like sandpaper by evening, this is every product that brought me back from the brink. Took me two semesters of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.

Twelve steps, seven serums, three toners — my bathroom counter looked like a chemistry lab and my skin was angrier than ever. Turns out less really is more, and stripping my routine down to simple, effective products was the only thing that worked. If you've been layering product after product wondering why you're still breaking out, this is the lineup that finally shut my skin up. Took me two frustrating years to figure this out so you don't have to.

I'm all about smelling good completes an outfit or a look. Always on the hunt for a fresh, powdery, skin but better perfumes/scents
