I love this cleanser. It doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped and dry. It cleans my skin and leaves it feeling fresh and healthy.

This exfoliating peeling solution stings a little, but I love how it brightens my skin when it is looking and feeling dull. I use this 1-2 times a week.

I think The Ordinary brand has the most affordable facial serums. I’m not even sure what niacinamide does, I just know I like the way my skin looks when I use it consistently.

It’s the perfect moisturizer. It feels so thick and luxurious. This is my ride-or-die moisturizer. My skin gets so dry, especially in our Idaho winters, and this one actually keeps me hydrated all day without feeling greasy. Plus, it’s budget-friendl...

Ok, so maybe this isn't the most affordable facial sunscreen out there, but it is one of the skincare products I'm willing to splurge on. Sunscreen is probably the most important skincare product for mature women. It doesn't smell like sunscreen and ...

This lip mask is AMAZING! I can put it on my dry crusty lips at night and wake up with smooth, hydrated lips in the morning. I have even used it as a regular lip balm throughout the day.

This lotion is a little on the pricier side, but SO worth it. I like all of the scents. My skin feels hydrated without feeling greasy. And I can use it without the fear of it ruining my sunless tan.

I was always afraid to use a liquid blush, but one day I just jumped in and bought some to try. I don’t think I will ever go back to powder. This affordable blush is super pigmented and distributes so well. My go to colors are Peach Perfect and Dusty...

Love this tubing mascara in the brown color. It doesn’t smudge down under my eyes like most mascaras do. And it make my lashes look super long!
