A long, long time ago when I first published Finding Emma, a reader asked me if the blog Emma writes in that book “Northern Chic” was actually a thing and if any of the products I’d mentioned were ones I’ve actually used and enjoyed. Since then, I’ve always wanted to write a series of beauty-related blog posts, but just never really got around to it.

Now that I feel like the craziness that was the last few months (new job, engagement, the holidays, etc.) has finally settled down, I’d like to start adding some more lifestyle and beauty posts–I’m planning on posting about my wedding planning too!

I should preface the below details by first saying my skin is really strange and reactive. Things like lavender oil, in particular, make me breakout like crazy, and I’ve discovered that certain hair products give me those pesky little bumps around my hairline and cheeks. Because of these issues, I’m a firm believer that you get what you pay for, and while some of these products are on the pricey side, they’re worth every penny to me because they work. So, through serious trial and massive error, I’ve finally nailed down a skincare routine that solves most of my problems.

Everyone’s skin is different, so what works for me might not necessarily work for you. These are just my personal heroes
