I have delved into skincare, but have recently found a passion and love for skincare. After weeks of research, I compiled a list of affordable skincare products ranging from cleansers to chemical exfoliators that I can guarantee work effectively to give you the best results possible.

1. Simple Micellar Gel Wash

When I tell you that this product does miracles! This affordable cleanser works on every all skin types and removes dirt without stripping the oils from your face.

Use this fragrance-free, Hyram-approved, product on a regular basis regularly as a product to clean your face of any impurities.

2. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

If you have dry skin, this is a perfect cleanser for you! I use this cleanser all the time and it is a wonderful fragrance-free product that hydrates your skin and gives you that perfect fresh look. Use this regularly with other products for permanent results.

3. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

La Roche-Posay is a brand that I would say can never let you down, their formulas and ingredient are high quality and work effectively to remove dirt and unclog your pores.

Glycerin, Ceramides, Niacinamide are some of the hydrating ingredients found in this product.

$20

4. Earth to Skin Super Greens Cleanser

If the following cleansers are out of stock because of the skincare obsession during quarantine, Earth to Skin Super Greens Cleanser is an underrated cleanser that works beautifully on dry skin.

Using natural extracts like cucumber, kale, and broccoli extracts, this product offers soothing effects like no other product.

5. The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution

If you have not heard about this product where have you been! This ordinary product has been floating through social media and is so difficult to get your hands on.

Luckily, I have tried this product before and I can assure the hype is real. The ingredients in this product remove the look of large pores and clears pores using chemical exfoliation.

If you have mild to severe acne, this is a product you should definitely have.

6. CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser 

CeraVe has been gaining a lo of popularity, but some of their products are better than others. This product in specific has an ingredient called salicylic acid which helps with longterm minimal breakout.

Salicylic acid is also great to help with uneven skin tone and redness.

The sound acid might scare you, but trust me chemical exfoliators like salicylic acid are way better for your skin than physical exfoliators like scrubs.

$10

7. The Inkey List Q10 Serum

If you have sensitive skin, this product will help you adapt to other ingredients and allow you to use stronger serums and products.

This serum is formulated with an ingredient called Ubiquinone which is an active antioxidant that hydrates your skin and prevents fine lines and wrinkles.

Other hydrating ingredients such as soybean extract and peptide complex. It is sold in small amounts, but the price is amazing and is highly effective

8. Elf Happy Hydration Cream

The second ingredient in this cream is Cannabis sativa seed oil is the 2nd ingredient which is amazing for hydration just like the product states.

The sixth product is niacinamide which reduces sensitivity and irritation and helps with uneven skin tone.

This product has effective ingredients and does not add too many extra scents or oils making it a fragrance-free and all-around great cream.

$12

9. The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA $8

Alpha arbutin a water-soluble version of arbutin and is one of the most advanced natural ingredients in skincare which helps even out dark skin.

Since I have a melanin-rich skin tone, this product works wonders for me. For such an affordable price, you cannot go wrong with this product.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
