My minimalist skin care and beauty products
16
items I've never been into using lots of skin care and beauty products because my skin always was great. Since peri-menopause, I started having rosacea, so I'm using specific products that help me manage the redness and occasional outbreaks. Other than tha...

These are the products I use to manage my rosacea skin
This is my day cream when I'm not using any CC Cream. SPF 30 is important because my rosacea skin is very sensitive to UV radiation.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Rosaliac AR SPF30 Moisturiser for Dry Skin
This is the gentlest foam wash I could find for my sensitive skin.
Cetaphil Skin Redness Relieving Foaming Face Wash Cleanser with Glycerin and Allantoin - 8 fl oz
I only use this when I use CC Cream that I cannot completely remove with foam wash. It's the only one that I've found so far that my sensitive skin tolerates.
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All in 1 Waterproof Makeup Remover, Face Cleanser, 13.5 fl oz
So far the best night cream / moisturizer I've found for my rosacea skin.
Cetaphil Redness Relieving Night Moisturizer SPF 40 For Dry, Redness-Prone Skin, 1.7 fl oz
My favourite CC Cream. Some find it a bit too much like a paste and it's not suitable for darker skin tones, but for a light skin tone it's pretty good.
Erborian CC Red Correct with Centella Asiatica 15ml
Teeth
My tooth-care is also very basic but effective.
I've been using this for more than 30 years now, and I have perfect teeth :)
Weleda Salt Toothpaste Peppermint 2.5 oz Oral Hygiene
Soap
I'm only using the most natural soap for my hands and body, no gels
Olive oil soap is wonderful for the skin, and this one has such a lovely frangrance. I use it as a hand soap and also instead of shower gel. No plastic waste, and so good for the skin!
Lavender Rosemary Multipack Bar Soap
The second kind of soap that I use. It's not scented but just smells clean and fresh, and it is very creamy and hydrates the skin very well. Since using either this or the olive oil soap, my skin doesn't itch anymore.
Goat Milk Multipack Bar Soap
Body
These are the body lotions and body butter I use, lotions in summer and body butter when it's cold and my skin gets dry
The fragrance of this lotion is wonderful, and it doesn't feel greasy on the skin, so I can also use it when it's hot.
Weleda Pampering Wild Rose Body Lotion - 6.8 fl oz
This I use during winter times when it's cold and my skin is dry. I love the coconut fragrance. My skin is very smooth and soft when I use this cream.
Coconut Body Butter
This is similar to the German no waste organic soda deodorant that I use and which doesn't seem to be available in the US. Check out all the different fragrancces, they look so delicious! The German one I use from Ben&Anna is Persian Lime, but I'...
Deodorant Stick
Hands and Feet
I got this in England years ago, and it's the only hand balm that really works for me in winter. It's ridiculously expensive in Germany but a little goes a long way, you don't need a lot. It's not greasy, so I can use it during the day, too. While mo...
Badger Balm for Hardworking Hands, Aloe Vera & Wintergreen, 0.75 oz Tin
Like the hand cream from Badger, this is the best I've had my feet so far. Works like a charm for dry heels, it's cooling and smells lovely. Since it's not too hard to make a DIY copycat, I googled the recipe and make it myself now at home because it...
Badger Energizing Foot Balm with Peppermint, Tea Tree & Certified Organic Ingredients, 2 oz
Lips
This is what I use during winter when the cold lets my lips crack. It protects the lips from the elements and seals the moisture. It doesn't moisturise the lips, though. For that I use the Aquaphor Lip repair.
Aquaphor Lip Repair Stick for Dry Chapped Lips - 0.17oz
This is the moisturiser I use for my lips when I need one, mostly during winter time. No weird taste like in some flavoured products! If you look for something that doesn't taste like vanilla, blueberries or cherries, try this one.
Aquaphor Immediate Relief Lip Repair Balm - 0.35 fl oz
If I want to go fancy and use lipgloss, this is my favourite. The price is reasonable, the colour matches my natural lip colour, and it doesn't dry out my lips.
e.l.f. Sun Boss Gloss SPF 25, Pink-Me Girl, 0.13 fl oz
