Reddit mentions: The best handmade skin care

This one isn't specifically for the eye area but I really like how it goes on my skin. I put it on right after I use bakuchiol. I follow up with a primer. Even after using all this my makeup goes on perfectly. The Purito sunscreen (PURITO Centella Green Level Safe Sun SPF50+ PA++++,Broad Spectrum UVA1,2,UVB/oil-free suncream/non-nano system, Acne-prone skin) feels good but isn't moisturizing but the bakuchiol is moisturizing enough so it works out. I highly recommend it!

I've been using https://www.amazon.com/Bakuchiol-Natural-Retinol-Alternative-Moisturizer/dp/B07Q25XXZL/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=bakuchiol&qid=1565642276&s=gateway&sr=8-3 that I get on Amazon and its been great on my skin. I got it about a month ago and its really working on my freckles and generally brightening my skin. I've tried retinoids in the past and it always made me break out in a rash. Like immediately. This stuff just feels so good on the skin and really moisturizes. No dryness. It seems to last a long time cuz I've been using it every morning after I wash my face and there's still like half a bottle. I'm not sure how it works except its supposed to support cellular turnover etc. So glad I discovered it since I really don't like using retinoids. I haven't had any purging.

If your dermatologist wants you to take a break from retinol, then bakuchiol is definitely a good way to go. Really gentle. I'm using this one by Wildland Botanicals. I apply it throughout the day, massaging it into my crows feet, my 11's, and that annoying crepe-like skin just beneath my eyes. Good luck!

We're similar in age and she has the same interests as my best friend, so I'm sure I can come up with something. I know you said just rocks, but these cool handmade soaps with crystals in them are something I would want! There's even different varieties. Horror themed makeup bags with makeup inside, which could also be horror themed (or maybe a clutch?). I don't know if she has read any of the DC Icons series (the young adult novels), but there is a Batman one. I was originally going to say one of those vinyl clocks, but a batman themed one, then I saw that they wouldn't arrive until after Christmas so maybe an art print of a horror movie or batman? or maybe a cat dressed as batman? There's always Funko Pop! figures, which are cute until they're terrifying. I recommend the 8-Bit exclusive Freddy or Jason if she already has a collection, because she might not have those ones.

I have lupus too, complete with butterfly rash and random redness everywhere. If you're looking for something to talk your redness, face oil with blue tansy has been amazing for me.
This is the one I use:
Moondrop Organic Facial Oil by Celeste Botanicals | 0.3 oz | Blue Tansy | Reduce Redness | Anti-aging | Anti-inflammation https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076Z2MSV3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NQQ9Bb931F9W0

It doesn't get rid of all of the redness, but it helps a great deal and basically makes it look like I am wearing a light blush instead of looking sick.

I'm currently using the one from Wildland Botanicals. It's on Amazon. Really happy with this oil.

It's the one by Wildland. Feels like luxury in a bottle.
