A delightfully creamy thick moisturizing eye mask that absorbs easily into the skin. This has helped me with puffy eyes or irritated eyes after a makeup application with a tough removal. I apply this when I am going to bed and need an extra boost of ...
Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Cream - Glow Recipe
Another wonderful facial lotion. This one is light weight, absorbs easily into the skin, and is rich with vitamin C that helps brighten skin and protect from blue light/ UV radiation damage. This lotion is wonderfully hydrating too. However, it smells strangely like bananas which is very off putting to me. BUT it only smells like bananas for the first few minutes ...

Cleansers & Astringents
Sensitive skin friendly cleansers and astringents for acne prone skin that I use in my daily routine.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen

Neutrogena Wet Skin Kids Sunscreen Spray, Water ...
Similar to the Neutrogena wet skin kids sunblock. It is easy to rub in and provides great protection. I find with sunblock that ease of application is a huge deterrent to wearing it, so having a Neutrogena spray is super helpful! It stays shiny so you will appear to have that slight summer shine when you wear it, but it doesn't feel too oily or heavy. I only get this spray when I cannot find the wet skin kids spray. Mainly because this spray is heavily scented with that classic summer beach coconut smell. If that is your thing, then great! I haven't had a skin reaction to the perfume, but my nose...
Beach Defense® Spray Sunscreen SPF 70 | Neutrogena®
I am willing to argue that this is the best hand and body lotion on the market! I have been using this for 2+ decades and I love it! Don't go with the off brand because it doesn't perform the same way! This lotion is just the right density between to...
Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion With Soothing Oat - AVEENO
