🦌 Maine Moose Gurl Beauty
At 55, I’ve learned that beauty isn’t about chasing youth — it’s about caring for the skin you’ve earned through every smile, adventure, and bit of sunshine along the way.
With weight loss, aging, and all the time I spend outdoors, my skin needs a little extra love. I look for products that feel light, bring out my natural glow, and never make me look overdone. I’m not about layers of makeup — I want to accentuate what’s real and let my skin breathe.
My routine is all about simplicity, confidence, and lasting care — things that keep up with my busy, adventure-filled days and help me feel fresh from sunrise to sunset.
Because beauty isn’t about perfection — it’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin and letting your natural light shine. 🌿
soft skin & signature scents.
curating my favorite body care rituals & fragrances that make everyday feel like self-love. think whipped butters, warm florals, & clean girl vibes. 🤍✨
Skincare for people with sensitive skin (like me).
As a preface, I cleanse, tone, use cindamycin, moisturize in the morning and at night, I cleanse in the shower, cindamycin, moisturize, and any retinols or vitamins I want to put on after. I also sleep on my back which I think is essential for good skin. I have school during the day so It’s hard for me to not touch my face so i have occasional breakouts :(
I've been natural for about 9 years now and it was very long journey, but it was the best decision I've ever made. I started off transitioning and them did mini big chop. Since then my hair has flourished. Being natural is a journey and everyone's journey is different. The products on this lists have treated me so good.

I judge every perfume on a scale from preteen to old lady. I prefer fruity, sweet, and gourmand scents. I love a stone fruit, a musk, and a marshmallow!
I’ve been into makeup world for ten years , so I have tried a lot of makeup on different skins , and this is what I’ve seen to work better on dry skin to achieve a radiant makeup . The products you use are really important , to understand that not every product works for everyone .

I have combo skin. My nose and forehead are oily, and my cheeks are very dry. My skin early feels very tight and irritated. I have occasional eczema flare ups, and my skin is generally more sensitive.
I obsessed with sunscreen. After trying all kinds of sunscreens—from affordable drugstore picks to high-end favorites—I’ve found a few that truly work for my combination skin (which can be breakout-prone at times). I prefer lightweight, water-based formulas that don’t feel greasy or clog pores, but still give strong SPF 50++ protection. These sunscreens not only sit well under makeup but also keep my skin feeling fresh and calm throughout the day. If you're looking for sunscreens that are gentle yet effective, this list is for you!
