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.

The Ordinary is an amazing brand with effective supplies and I recommend it to any and all people. This specific product also contains hyaluronic acid which brings moisture and glow to your face.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
