Great for suprising pimples tah appear out of nowhere. I have been using these since college, and they have come through for me every time.

Best serum for faded acne scars I have used, thus far. I've personally been using this product for a year and it works very well. Typically, I apply this before my serums after I apply toner.
Faded Serum for Dark Spots & Discoloration

Extra hydrating lip salve!Typically, I apply it after my skincare routine before I do my makeup and hair. A little goes a long way, so don't use too much. It's also great as a lip mask before bed.

One of the first moisturizer I became obsessed with and continue to use. It is lightweight and easy to apply to conclude your skincare routine.

If you're looking for an affordable serum to maintain skin health, The Ordinary's Niacinamide is a great option. I've been using this product for 6 years, and it still performs well.

Elf is an affordable, yet effective brand I really love. This moisturizer does great on my skin.

Anua is by far becoming one of my favorites! I use this oil cleasner to pre-cleanse my face to even if I don't wear makeup for the day. My face generally tends to get oily, (I am subject to breakouts in my 20s, ugh!) and this cleasner helps reduce so...
Anua

Anua, again, I love! I follow my pre-cleanse with this deep pore cleanser, which is not harsh on the skin. My face tends to get red and very irritated, which leads to breakouts very easily, and this cleanser soothes my skin without harsh western chem...

I love this mask! I typically use it once a week, usually on my self-care day to remove impurities, oil, makeup, and dead skin for a fresh layer of smoother skin. Washes off clean with wet washcloth. Also, you a silicon spatula instead of a brush to ...

I remember the craze surrounding this peeling solution back in 2020. I was skeptical, but over time as I learned how to properly use it, I saw changes. I only use this peeling solution once a week after my normal cleanse. I don't apply any serums or ...

I use this overnigtht collagen mask once a week. This mask helps retain moisture after doing my routine skincare and keeps the skin feeling smooth, and plump upon waking up in the morning. It goes on in a gel consistency and peels off like a thin she...

Previously, I used Therabreath until my holistic dentist told me it was not a good option. Now, I use Boka's mouthwash, but in bite-size chewable tablets. You chew and swish the solution around in your mouth for 30 seconds, and honestly, this was a g...

I switch over form using harmful flouride products that my holistic dentist disclosed were toxic for my health. Now, I use Risewell Toothpaste which has been an upgrade in my oral hygiene. It is a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it.

Breath mints are a must-have for anyone! Take one after meals, and they provide a fresh, clean breath on the go. They contain hydroxyapatite, which is a healthier, cleaner alternative to fluoride.

Body Care

One of my go-to body washes is after using castile soap to strip my body of dirt. It applies to the skin with a smooth, creamy finish. You won't really get that lathering feel, but it does leave the skin feeling hydrated.

A smooth, creamy body butter that I use when I'm feeling a bit more feminine in the evening. It has a sweet, citrus-like smell that goes on the skin very easily. It is a bit thick, so a little goes a long way.

Personally, I think everyone should have a step-by-step one's self. Castile soap is one of those products I think need to strip yourself of all the dirt and oils from during the night and after a long day. It will dry your skin; however, going in wit...

Oh my goodness! Absolutely love! I honestly carry this around with me in my tote just to have peace of mind. I can't describe really how it makes me feel, but the smell of subtle vanilla with a slight earthy scent just calms me down, especially if I'...

The scent is not overpowering, just a hint of coconut that gives off a subtle earthy scent. I usually wear this for when I run quick errands.
Coconut Palm EDP - MIX:BAR

I usually will wear this scent if I'm feeling a bit neutral. I may not feel like dressing very girls or feminine on some days, and decide to wear sweatpants on occasion. This scent pairs well with just lounging around, if you catch my drift. I fluctu...

This scent give off feminine, divine energy. I where this perfume when I'm going out for a night of fun with friends. I'm very fond of rose scents, so this is great for anyone who loves the scent of flowers.
