I was doing a little adjusting of my amazon subscribe and save subscriptions and realized this post was long overdue, so here we are.
Like always, full disclosure- I’m an Amazon affiliate, my storefront is here and I may make a small commission on items you purchase through my links.
These are my og pimple patch love, if it wasn’t clear from the purchase history. I’m subscribed to the ten pack, and they offer three and five packs to try a smaller amount. They are thin, comfy to wear and work so well to absorb and protect a blemish. I love these cute ones as well, but when we run out of these CosRX ones, David is promptly ready for a restock.
I remember keeping a bottle of BioOil in my locker in high school. Now there’s always one in the bathroom, another on my vanity, at least one in my empties stash. I use it all over and am part of the chorus that says it really faded many of my stretch marks . I keep bioOil gel in the car and the nursery, too- all the formulations are spectacular.
These self heating eyemasks are single use and create more waste than I’d prefer, but they are so soothing on puffy, itchy, or sensitive eyes. I alternate between the lavender or chamomile fragrances, and they are so helpful when I’m trying to stave off a headache. Or if I’m trying to take a nap, they speed me off to sleep. I try and remember to introduce new moms to them and gift a few- they were a tender mercy in the bleary newborn days.
There are a few micellar water hair rinse formulations available- I feel like we’ve tried them all in looking for the least fragranced version, but are all fairly intensely fragranced. I think they act similarly in smoothing and detangling the waves and curls in our house, so I keep this one on subscribe and save, and alerts on to snag this version when it is on sale.
For a girl who loves and rotates skincare, I never skip a Panoxyl delivery- not only is it so effective for acneic skin, it’s a bacteria buster in general, using 10% benzoyl peroxide. For blemishes anywhere, if works best if you let it sit on your skin for a few minutes. Be warned that it can bleach your towels, and I am very mindful around my hairline. It’s also helpful if you want to ditch deodorant- stay with me. David is allergic to most commercial deodorant (‘clean’ and otherwise) and using Panoxyl in the shower takes care of the bacteria that cause body odor, so we’ve been able to stop torturing his sensitive skin. Simply using it in shower, he no longer needs deodorant or gets stinky. Science is amazing sometimes…
Y’all know I don’t mess around when it goes to sun protection and to reapplying it. I’m a full blown sunscreen evangelist. I’ve also got a kid with specific sensory needs, so that shapes my consideration as well. Through my obsession, I’ve probably tried more than 40 sunscreens in the last few years, and this little stick with a big name (Elizavecca Milky Piggy Great Block Stick Spf 50+ PA+++) consistently applies easily, protects well, is portable and packable, and doesn’t aggravate anyone during application or wear. Not an actual dupe for the glow recipe, more of a wannabe, but a winner regardless.
linking them all up for y’all- let me know what you think if you try!
love, Ravayna
