As a sufferer of melasma, specifically around my hairline, cheeks, and eye sockets, I have tried hundreds of products to get the hyperpigmentation under control. Prescription options can be helpful as well, but all of the products in this list make a huge difference in fading and keeping the dark spots at bay. I hope these do wonders for you!
coming from someone who's a frequent user of hot tools, my hair has been through it. it's not perfect, but these are the products and guides that have helped heal my DOUBLE split ends.
This is my go-to haircare routine at home and while I’m away at uni. Living in residence honestly changed my hair more than I expected; between dorm water, quick showers, stress, and zero time, my hair needed something low-effort but actually effective. Add in the fact that I’m a competitive horseback rider (dust, sweat, helmets = hair gets dirty fast) and a swim instructor constantly dealing with chlorine, so my hair goes through it. Over time, I’ve figured out what actually works to keep it clean, healthy, and manageable while looking incredible without overdoing it. This routine is realistic, beginner-friendly, and made for busy uni life, whether you’re dealing with hard water, frequent washes, or just trying to protect your hair while balancing school, work, and an active lifestyle.

I recently turned 52 and the older I get the more I have cared about skincare. I’ve always washed my face (but not much more than that) but I’ve found some really great products for my skin. I now love moisturizer, tinted sunscreen, and mascara is my favorite makeup product by far. I’ve also attached some hair products that I love. Here are a few of my favorite products!

Recently I have been going to a TMJ Specialist who is an expert in his field. The very front of his office says “NO Fragrance”. The office is extremely strict and will send patients home immediately if they are wearing any scented products. Being a fragrance lover, you might think I was offended. I actually appreciated it SO much. You see, I suffer from intense headaches. This is the exact reason why I love softer, lighter scents. If you are like me and you WANT to enjoy perfume, but have immense trouble navigating the booming perfume market: you are at the right place. I have delved deep into this hobby, determined to find fragrances that are not only soft, but wearable all day long. The key trick is this: the lighter the better. Longevity? We could not care less, in fact, we want it to be as light as can be. Simply reapply as needed. Eau De Toilettes, Water Based Perfume, Hand Creams and Hair Mists are what we are looking for! Feel free to jot down scents you want to try or gift to your loved ones.
I have used a lot of makeup items, and these items are the ones that I will always go back to. I use these products daily and have perfected my makeup routine.
