As a 28 y/o young woman, I've been struggling w/ my skin more than I would like to be (especially after being on Accutane for almost 1 year). I've tried every prescription topical under the sun but no matter what I do, I always seem to have bad texture and consistent breakouts. A few months ago, I decided to do a deep audit into every skin care and makeup product that I own.I used the website/app SkinSort (highly recommend). You make a profile and answer questions about your skin type/skin struggles. Then you search the names of the products you are curious about and SkinSort will tell you if that product is a good match for you and your specific skin type/concerns. It has been so educational and has not only helped me know which products to avoid, but to also scale down the number of products I own. I have already started to see a big improvement in my skin simply by being a lot more intentional about only using products that SkinSort has told me are a 95%+ match for my skin.This is my Skin Profile on SkinSort:- Combination Skin- Acne- Pores- Texture- Dryness- SensitivityIf you have similar skin struggles, then this product list will suit you VERY well. I did not include any products that were below a 95% match, but most on here are actually 100% matches.

as someone who was on accutane for almost a year, i’m extremely picky w my skincare. I swear by these products

I’m very sensitive to my environments, so these are some things in my space that I love and that I feel are low lift ways to elevate the vibes. My style definitely leans a bit boho-chic, mid century modern, with a big emphasis on earthy tones and a variety of textures. I am big on comfort as I definitely have sensory issues (thx ADHD). I will also always be a fan of a new item, gadget, or trinket that I feel makes my every day life easier in any way, shape, or form. One of the reasons aquarians are known for their innovative spirit i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For my baddie$ ballin on a budget! While I do love myself a nice luxury makeup product, we never love to see a Sephora trip that costs $100+ for maybe 2-3 products. I've been determined to find dependable products at a lower price point, especially until I start earnin a real attorney $alary. No gatekeeping here! 🩷

My holy grail go-to makeup products. I currently do not have the budget to have a makeup regimen made up only of high-end products like future me hopefully will 😅 When I do have room for a splurge I take it seriously, do my research, and genuinely will return a product if I feel it is not worth the price point/disappointing. With the makeup industry being so overly saturated these days with competition, there is trulyyyyy no rhyme or reason for us to be disappointed with product performance! These recs come from straight from my heart 🫶🏼

It’s been quite the journey with my hair. I used to be the girl who didn’t love her natural warm blonde undertones and who washed her hair multiple times a week. Now I’m the girlie who loves my golden blonde and washes once maybeee twice a week w trial and error/hair training. Beauty is pain y’all

These are some of my fave products for overall welfare❤️‍🩹 Health spans literal physical health, mental health, emotional health, spiritual health, and more – it's truly a holistic word in my world🌿 I try to touch each of the different aspects of this concept in my list and hope to keep growing it as I encounter more things I feel authentically uplift my wellbeing.
