5 OVER 50 BEAUTY Favs Totally Worth the Fuss!

We’ll chat about daily skin care, hair care (Lord have mercy the hair loss has been LEGENDARY up in here), and aromatherapy I can’t seem to live without. The bad news? My skin is extra dry, mature, super sensitive, and frequently inflamed from autoimmune issues. The good news? Since these finds are exceptionally clean and effective for skin prone to react dramatically, they may perform like mini-miracles on healthier skin! 5 Over 50 beauty favorites work no matter what your age, and prices start at $17.

5 Over 50 Beauty Favorite Finds

Will this be a new recurring theme to highlight finds for home and lifestyle deemed worthy of mention because of how they deliver (and even over-deliver)?

Maybe. I’ll just share what I am happy to have found ALL ON MY OWN apart from influencing or PR. None of these 5 Finds was gifted or sponsored.

SLOWLY Welcoming the Beauty of More Self-Compassion

At 59, I’m slowing the pace of personal and professional daily rhythms. While slow living is nothing new to me or you, “slow” remains relative. Good heavens, I thought I was easy going as a speed walker and kickboxing fan at 45:

Yet there was very little resembling slow or easy in my life at the time. I was headed for a nervous breakdown. I couldn’t drop the facade of making things look easy, and no one was served.

Sarcastic 2020s humor quote from Hello Lovely about 2025. #sarcastichumor #oneoffhumor

Why are we often afraid of pushing the limits of slow?

Are we conditioned by culture to believe a kinder-to-self pace signals laziness, unworthiness, or less vitality?

The more I explore my own resistance to rest, flow, and just say no (to requests that aren’t in sync with my values), I see how I don’t feel entitled to simply breathe, just be here, and exist as an imperfect child of God, growing and moving towards more wholeness.

Hello Lovely Five Favorites (5 Over 50 Beauty Finds)

A few words about these finds…they aren’t new to me, and I buy them on repeat.

Have you tried Phlur? I am sensitive to all fragrance and too frugal to try the latest and greatest. So when I find my holy grails, I stick with them.

Self-compassion quote from Michele of Hello Lovely. #personalgrowth #selfcompassion

Layer Phlur’s Vanilla Skin and Coconut Skin sprays for a completely delicious and unique scent. Not expensive, perfect for layering and fragrancing your hair too, and just the loveliest gourmand complexity!

The Nap Ministry quote about flow and resisting grind culture. #restquotes

The muslin cloths remind me of what aestheticians and spas use for luxe facials. A fluffy stack of them on a vanity reminds me to take time for skin care.

Healthy, Skin-loving Ingredients!

Does Boomstick Glo’s price strike you as too high for a lip balm? It lasts forever and is beyond amazing for lips, moisturizer or glow. I always have one in my nightstand and also in my purse.

The Routine from Oak Essentials may seem splurge-y, but when you consider the savings as a set, you’ll understand the value. Everything in the routine is exceptional, and I haven’t found anything else at its level of quality.

Self-compassion and slow living quote about rest and recovery from Michele of Hello Lovely Studio. #selfcompassion

(When I mention “cheap dopamine hits” leaving me feeling concussed, I am referring to how social media algorithms are savvy and addictive. Social feeds often masquerade as “fullness” and convince us they contain solutions to feel less depleted.)

Distressed denim and Quote painting by Michele of Hello Lovely.

The Redken acid bonding concentrate may be the reason I am not completely bald. My autoimmune condition (resembling Lupus enough that it’s hard to imagine it isn’t Lupus) renders my hair fragile. I use the treatment weekly to strengthen bonds and notice immediate improvement… with no waiting involved.

Thank you for reading with such tenderness and mercy…I love you.

Peace to you right where you are.
