Even though I'm only 21, I have a long hair journey. For a long time I thought I was struggling with dandruff, my scalp was itchy and flaky, but then I got some flaky marks behind my ears so realized it's psoriasis. Since then I'm looking for hair products that won't worsen the health of my hair. Other than that I'm struggling with dry and split ends so here are my true recommendations for hair products.
My hair is really important to me and I’ve tried a lot of different products for different reasons. Here are my fav choices depending on what type of hair you’re working with
This is what I use on an everyday basis when it comes to my makeup. My makeup routine is quick and basic. And best of all, affordable! I tend to splurge on skincare vs makeup. The basis for great makeup is great skin or a great base.
This is my everyday makeup collection which is lightweight and has skin-friendly formulas. I use them for a quick morning routine or a fresh-faced night out. No heavy layers, no harsh ingredients — just clean, breathable makeup that can let your natural beauty shine through.
I'm excited to share these personalized skincare recommendations with you. Each product and step has been carefully selected to support your unique skin needs, with a focus on both short-term improvement and long-term skin health.
The goal is not just clearer or more radiant skin, but also to help you feel more confident and cared for in your daily routine. Consistency is key, and listening to how your skin responds over time is just as important as the products themselves.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if your skin's needs begin to shift-your routine can and should evolve with you.
Here's to healthy, glowing skin and simple, effective self-care.
Warmly,
Ariel
