<h3>1. Hydrating Foaming Cleanser — Cetaphil</h3>

This cleanser is a dream for sensitive skin. It removes dirt, oil, and leftover makeup without stripping your moisture barrier. The texture feels soft and refreshing, making it a perfect everyday wash that won’t irritate or over-dry the skin.

<h3>2. SPF — Cetaphil</h3>

A sunscreen that stays lightweight and doesn’t clog pores. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and gives dependable sun protection without causing breakouts. Smooth application, no white cast, and super comfortable for daily use.

<h3>3. Lip Protectant — Aquaphor</h3>

This is my go-to solution when my lips feel dry or flaky. It nourishes deeply, calms irritation, and leaves the lips soft by the next morning. Plus, it shields your lips from the elements—perfect for everyday protection.

<h3>4. Moisturizer — Cetaphil</h3>

A reliable, gentle moisturizer that hydrates without feeling heavy. Great for sensitive skin, it absorbs smoothly and never causes breakouts. It’s one of those simple formulas that just does its job well and keeps your skin happy.
