Sick Aesthetic

Wake dull skin from the dead 🥀

Awakening Rite is the first step on the path of transformation. This foundational facial clears the veil from tired skin and calls fresh radiance to the surface through deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and restorative hydration. Dullness is lifted. Texture softens. Circulation awakens. Through rhythmic massage and restorative masking, the skin is nourished, balanced, and prepared for the deeper rites that follow. The result is skin that feels refreshed, luminous, and newly alive 🌟

Every metamorphosis begins with awakening 🫠✨️

the word "chemical" does not mean what a lot of you think it means 😬

and no, that study on oxybenzone absorbing into your bloodstream that was widely debunked by the FDA and National Cancer Institute does not make it so 🤷🏼‍♀️

stop listening to influencers peddling parasite cleanses and seed oil avoidance and start listening to doctors (dermatologists specifically) and licensed skincare professionals 🩺⚕️🥼

As a licensed esthetician, here is my top anti-aging tip for men 30+ that doesn't involve spf: waxing your nostrils and removing those old man hairs that stick out of your nose. It makes you look years younger instantly and lasts for weeks 🫠👃

would you believe me if I told you I got these results with only Dollar Tree products? 🫠

Those are nice supporting ingredients, but the real job of a moisturizer is pretty simple: hydrate the skin, soften it, and help reduce water loss, and the Coconut Pop by Happy Skin Healthy Skin at the Dollar Tree does just that 💦🥥🫠

At $1.25, this is a must-grab for anybody who wants a fun sensory experience with their moisturizer. I love how this dries and feels on my skin, I like how it doesn't leave any residue and absorbs right in, and I even enjoy the fragrance; it is present, but not overbearing 🧴

My only warning is the added fragrance and color dyes for the beads. They look and smell cool, but it could be irritating for eczema-prone, or those with sensitive skin ⚠️

For $1.25, the River & Rowe Honey Drip Body Milk from Dollar Tree is not a bad option for some body skin, especially dry legs, arms, buttocks, elbows, heels 🧴

The funniest thing about this and most dollar store beauty products, is the ingredients they're highlighting on the label (honey & ceramides) are both relatively low on the ingredient list, so I wouldn't be expecting a lipid-rich barrier repair scenario, more so a humectant and occlusive forward hydration system 🧬

That's not to say it's a bad moisturizer, it is just typical, dollar store, buzz-word advertising and worth noting many of the actives and star ingredients of these products are only included for novelty 🐝

I would, and will 100% be using this body milk and might even buy another one when I run out if I can't find a better one by then 🤑

⚠️For someone with very reactive/eczema-prone skin, I'd choose a fragrance-free moisturizer instead. The inclusion of lavender oil and benzyl alcohol can be reactive to many 😟
