I hooked several more older blog posts into SEO today. One was my perspective on aging. You can read that post here: https://thrivingwithcerebralpalsy.com/2021/02/27/my-perspective-on-aging/. This is a companion post to that one. This blog post is a list of the skincare/makeup/tools I love. I am going to list my favorite products by category and the brands/colors will be included with each product. Using these products is one way I show myself care because of my dermatitis, sensitive skin, and allergies all of these products are hypoallergenic. This is a pricy list to buy all at once, so I only buy products, on this list as needed, so I can use the products that work best for me and do so in a fiscally responsible manner.
Skin Care:
- Cleanser/makeup remover/toner: Purity Made Simple by Philosophy
- Moisturizer: Daily Moisturizing Lotion for normal to dry skin by Cerave
- Deep Comfort Body Butter by Clinique
- Superbalm Lip Treatment by Clinique
- All About Eyes by Clinique
Makeup:
- Super Balanced Makeup 05 Vanilla by Clinique
- Conceal the Deal Concealer in the shades Cashew and Goldie by Lawless (I use the cashew shade on the days I do not wear full make-up because my skin is a bit lighter without my foundation on. I use the Goldie shade when I wear full makeup. This is just my preference and why I have two different shades of concealer.
