    A natural staple in my routine

    I'm a huge fan of the Base Face Milk. I currently only wash my face in the evening, and this gives my autumn-dry semi-sensitive skin the boost it needs before my skin tint. I love the cheery glow it gives me and how well it soothes my redness. I definitely recommend. I finally landed the travel size version (often out of stock) which has been so convenient! Ps. I have eczema and this has been a safe product for me!

    This is my new favorite am moisturizer. Not too heavy, perfect under makeup and gentle on my sensitive skin.

    This is exactly what my sensitive, redness prone skin needs. The texture is perfect and I love that it is fragrance free.
