Skin

Skin is your barrier. The goal is to support it—clean gently, moisturize consistently, wear sunscreen. Anything “extra” has to earn its place without starting a fight.

House rule: if a product needs burning, tingling, or peeling to feel “effective,” it’s not welcome here.
CLEANSE

Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser

A calm, fragrance-free cleanser that doesn’t try to be a personality.

  • Good for reactive or easily-irritated skin
  • Plays well with minimalist routines
  • A true “reset” product when everything else is too much
MOISTURIZE

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream

Reliable barrier support. Face or body. Unsexy in the best way.

  • Useful after showering or when skin is tight/dry
  • Helps reduce “chasing fixes” energy
  • Good baseline before you add anything else
SUNSCREEN

EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46

A daily SPF that people actually wear—lightweight, not heavy, not greasy.

  • Works well for many acne-prone or sensitive routines
  • Easy to keep in rotation without “SPF fatigue”
  • The most boring skincare advice is also the best one
