Skin care products for the “no time having”, “always on the go” mother who still wants to take care of herself and feel good with a 5 minute or less routiine.
Before I start my day, as every woman does, I do a skincare routine, followed by doing simple makeup. Although I spend my money on skincare, hair and beauty products, I don't really want to overspend on expensive beauty products, hence, I buy a few products that are suitable for my skin and hair, as well as makeup products that I think will last all day long. In this section, you will find affordable products that I recommend and you may also like :)
A curated collection of makeup picks that actually work for sensitive combination skin: lightweight, breathable, non-comedogenic, and gentle enough for daily wear.

I have acne prone combination skin. I’ve tried many different products and one thing I learned is consistency is KEY! When you find something that works STICK TO IT. It takes a minimum of 8 weeks of consistent use to see results. Plus switching products is what unknowingly lead to me constantly breaking out. Second take care of your skin barrier. Nothing should burn or sting. If it does give your skin a break to repair its barrier and try again. Gradual and slow.
These are my all time favourite skincare products, they make my face hydrated, glowy and clear !!
I will also add some products which I want to try or that are on my Wishlist !! 🤍🫶🏻☁️
