I'm sure there's one thing people never skip in their skin care routine, for me, it's applying moisturizer.
I used to have acne problem for almost a decade of my life, impacting the most crucial years of a girl's life. I used to try a whole bunch of products hoping to clear my face--kojic soap, rejuvenating sets, salicylic products, tea tree oil, baking powder, toothpaste, and some other unconventional methods and products that 'someone' recommended.
But one day, I got a great explanation about the importance of hydrating skin to control sebum, and when sebum production is controlled, it gradually decreases breakout.
Here is a list of facial moisturizers that I have used or currently using. My non-negotiables--non-sticky, fast-absorbing, no fragrance, and lightweight. 😊

Nowadays we’re looking for brands that align with our morals, which can be difficult. This list only has brands that are Palestinian-owned or stand with Palestine and have outwardly expressed their views through donations, official statements, etc. We don’t need to be complacent in a genocide, and in a capitalistic country our money is our activism.
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE! 🇵🇸🍉
