14
items When it comes to beauty, I keep it as simple and quick as I can. These products might not be the most expensive, fanciest options - and I'm no expert at all - but these are affordable and I find that a small but quick routine is better than no routin...

I swear by this being the best redness corrector I've used! A little goes a long way, which makes it even better. As someone that doesn't wear makeup, it's this and a filling in my eyebrows a bit that do all my heavy lifting. This corrector would act...
Hero Cosmetics Rescue Balm + Red Corrector (Color-Correcting Green Cream)
Step one in my routine. I often use this without water, because yes, that is an option with this cleanser! You can use it with or without water. I personally don't like doing a water splash to my face every single day so I like having the option to u...
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Face Wash
Step two in my routine. I usually do two goes with this - first to act as the agent removing the cleanser and second as the toner.
Dickinson's Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner
Step three in my routine. I heard these mentioned somewhere because they have salicylic acid. I just use one pad once a day.
Stridex Medicated Acne Pads
Step four in my routine. I'm over 35 so it's about time that I get some serums in my routine. I can't remember where or why I heard Vitamin C serum would be good but this one was available at Wal-Mart so I picked it up. One think I do remember is it ...
Advanced Clinicals Vitamin C Face Serum
Step five in my routine. I absolutely love the smell and feel of gel moisturizer. It always makes my skin, which gets rather red after I've done the first steps of my routine, feel very soothed. It was also important to me to get a moisturizer with h...
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Water Gel Moisturizer
Step six in my routine. Even if I'm not planning to go out and rarely find myself with my face towards the windows in my house, I still put on sunscreen at the end of my routine, especially if I've used the vitamin c serum.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Moisturizing Gel Sunscreen Lotion
What I wouldn't have given to have these back in my teen years when I was fighting daily battles with acne. Especially to be able to wear these rather than going out with open issues on my face! I don't get too many pimples these days but don't let a...
Peach Slices Acne Spot Dots
Simple lip mask that I put on overnight sometimes because I occasionally wake up with dry lips. Nice flavor and easy to apply.

Anyone else find themselves on the Black Girl Shower Routine side of TikTok in 2025? I sure did and I am so thankful for it. What a help this is with getting your damn back clean. I hate loofahs too so I was so happy to get an African net sponge.
BELLANOMI African Exfoliating Net Sponge
I have to say that I really LOVE the smell of lemon. I saw someone on Black Girl Shower Routine TikTok talking about products with the same scent so I decided to see what I could find and Dr. Teal's, which I'd used before, has so many! If lemon scent...
Dr Teal's Prebiotic Lemon Balm Body Wash
I haven't bought body oil before but it was on the list of products to use post-shower so I made sure to get it and use it.
Dr Teal's Moisturizing Prebiotic Lemon Balm Bath & Body Oil
I was never one to put on lotion right after the shower but now it's part of that routine and I use it otherwise. I've got one of these up in the bathroom and have another downstairs in the living room to use when my hands are feeling dry.
Dr Teal's Prebiotic Lemon Body Lotion

I deal with seborrheic dermatitis, constantly battling flakes in my hair. And as a brunette, that's really annoying because those suckers are very noticeable. Tea tree is a help, so I buy the shampoos and conditioners that I have it and I add a littl...
