Day 3/30 for posting every day for 30 days. I'm li Day 3/30 for posting every day for 30 days. I'm living for simple, easy steps because this month was a whirlwind trying to keep up with travels, work, the house, and the kids. I think change is in the air, you can just feel it! 

My eczema has started to flair up a little bit, but I'm surprised I haven't had big cuts or crazy itching with the season changing... Yet. 

All of these products have worked great for me and my sensitive skin and here are my honest reviews:

💗 Barle Charcoal Cleansing Balm ispretty gentle on my skin but does leave a stripped feeling when I am finished cleansing, so sensitive and dry skin baddies beware that it could irritate your skin if not followed by some moderate foundation. 

💗Mixoon peel off mask leaves my skin hydrated and glowy✨ I just it 1-2x per week and have had some great results 

💗Avene thermal spray is a great go-to for hot days. I love how refreshing it is after I cleanse and also thought the day when I'm outside. It's an in-purse must have for being out and about 

💗Dr. Ceuracle mineral SPF has been a staple in my SPF rotation this month. There are some parts of my face where it does tend to get a little dry, but a little bit of moisturizer after reapplication throughout the day helps tame that. 

💗Skin1004 Centella Madagascar SPF is ultimately my favorite of all time. I have repurchased this the most out of all of the sun protection products since it has become available. Very easy to apply and reapply, as well as a great product to put under makeup.
