Yes. You read that right. In October 2022 As a makeup lover since the age of three, I threw out my entire makeup collection and started over.

I've been using these products for years and as someone who struggled with acne when I was younger, I enjoyed learning everything about skin and found some makeup contains pore clogging ingredients which in turn causes acne flare ups. Before the fancy apps existed where you could scan a product and it told you if it was good or not, I memorized the ingredients that were bad for oily/acne prone skin and would always skim through the ingredients list on every product before purchasing it.

Still working on this one. As someone with sensitive skin who gets occasional breakouts from eczema, irritations, some summer chafing, and more here are some tried and true and related moisturizers that I use regularly for moisture and specifically for breakouts chafing and treating hyperpigmentation, heat rashes and all the eczema psoriasis and skin sensitivity related things. Feel free to add your reccs as well. I have used a ton of things from childhood til now. Some of these use trial and error and are hail marys when youre really suffering from itchiness or other aspects of dry irritated and inflamed skin. Some solutions are not topical but this seems like the best space to put these reccs in one place. Disclaimer not all of these will work for every body. Some of these work for awhile then stop working and I have to use a different product. Unfortunately, this is just how it is when you have sensitive skin and inflammation. If you find yourself having an occasional breakout then these solutions may work for you too but could be environmental caused more than hormonal, gut/lymph, and scent/endocrine related . I recommend that if you have a lot of inflammatory skin issues to look at changing your diet and incorporating anti inflammatory foods and herbs as well as gut healing things. If you would like a separate list of those reccs that have shown to be helpful sometimes please comment so I can know to make that next. Current fave RECCS: roundlab birch juice moisturizer for smoothing out bumpy eczema/rash skin and provides some itch relief, Topicals faded soap bar is healing the darkness from my rash scars quicker than anything else Ive used ever. Still takes time but seems more effective than even the serum. Works even mid rash to prevent and clear hyperpigmentation rashes leave.
