I've been living a low-tox lifestyle since 2009 when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease. I decided to make the switch after reading, researching and talking/visiting alternative health professionals on lifestyle changes to help with my disease. I make sure to not have around anything that is an endocrine disrupter. As soon as I started living this type of lifestyle, I saw an improvement in my symptoms which it was a big plus! Below I have linked all my favorite products that I've tested over the years etc. I hope this is helpful!
When it comes to makeup, we often think that expensive products always give the best results. However, with a little research and experimentation, many low-budget makeup products can actually give amazing results, even on par with high-end products. In this list, I'll share some of my favorite affordable yet quality makeup.
Skincare for all skin types (the type of skin it helps the most will be in each description) that will potentially help you to get that glass, clean girl skin you've always craved🤩🤩. Some acne products on here too but please do not use if you are already on medicated skincare by a GP.
Years of beauty and skincare as an MUA and mother of 4. These are haircare products I swear by. With a household full of curls, it’s a bit high maintenance around here and every product on this list is worth having. From shampoos, to oils and hair tools, these are my go to’s.
I like makeup, but I'm not obsessive. I don't chase trends, but I do have products that I love and that I have used multiple times. If you're like me, and you want to look and feel fabulous but don't want to stress about makeup, then this list is for you.
These are all of my HOLY GRAIL hair products! trust me - i went from dry, forever frizzy hair to the type you see in magazines just by changing up these few products!
Coming out of winter, my skin has gone through it all: dull, dry, and just generally not thriving. After a few years of living in the UK (and coming from a tropical climate), I’ve slowly figured out the exact combination of products that bring my skin back to life when the cold hits. I’m a big believer in simple, no-nonsense skincare — preferably fragrance-free and focused on hydration. I’m also in my late 20s and still get ID’d more often than I expect, which I’ll take as a sign that this routine has been doing something right. Most of the products on this list are actually things I started using back when I was a student on a budget. They’re all accessible in price, easy to find, and the kind of staples I keep repurchasing because they genuinely work — especially when my skin needs a little extra help during the UK winter.

I have put this list together for sensitive, dry skin and beauty products because I know how hard it can be to find products that actually work without causing irritation. These are the ones I keep coming back to because they really focus on hydration, calming the skin, and strengthening the skin barrier. My skin always feels softer, more comfortable, and looks healthier when I use them regularly. I love how simple they make my routine.

They’re just easy, reliable products that make a noticeable difference especially when my skin needs a bit of extra care.
