If there is a scent you would like to find an alternative for, let me know and I'll dive down that rabbit hole for you so you don't have to.

What I’ve learned from my love of selfcare/skincare is that a little goes a LONG way! Adding so many products at once can really damage your skin barrier and ingredients can be harsh. So having basics is soooo important! That foundation holds it all together! In addition to the basics it’s about finding what your skin struggles with!
For instance, narrowing on things like acne, sensitivity, and redness! So now I’m very careful with what I choose to try! I love helping ppl build a skin routine and problem solving skin issues!
I’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to! This is everything I’ve found over the years that works for my oily skin, all of this makes me feel my best and keep the oil under control!
