Simon is orange, and Smilla is blackish.
They were adopted at a cat rescue a couple of years ago when they were around 1 year old. They might be real siblings as they were found together as tiny kittens at a cat colony.

Haircare, skin routines, makeup, and a little bit of health that are aimed to be on the simple side.
It can be but is not limited to;

• fewer ingredients
• less intrusive and more gentle ingredients
• food or non/lightly processed products
• nopoo / lowpoo
• ‘no makeup’ makeup
• homemade products

This community is intended for anyone and I will do my best to keep the official stuff genderneutral or include multiple genders as much as I can. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful.

Ohai!
I'm a bit confused, I wash my face (almost) every day and when I use moisturizer for normal/sensitive skin my face gets oily.
When I don't user a moisturizer (so just washing) my face will instead feel dry and a bit rough even, especially in the t-zone and it even gets itchy.

I am confused. Do I have dry skin? Oily? Halp plz.

As the title says, How do you do simple beauty?

For me, hair is my biggest focus right now, I've recently started to strip my hair from silicones again. I'm not sure what my next step will be tho. I've done CO washes before and I might go back to that.
The shampoo I'm using is from Coop Änglamark (if you click on "produktfakta" you get the ingredients).

My skincare isn't very regular, especially when I'm stressed so I got a cleanser that is a bit stronger, L300 Deep Cleansing Gel, I'm not sure I'm super happy with that choice.
For moisture, I use Nivea, a classic here in Sweden.
As for my body, I use a lotion from Coop Änglamark, one of the few I don't feel sticky after using.

When shaving I use a safety razor and shaving foam gel, I think next time I'll buy shaving soap as I already have a brush. (it's nice to test new things once in a while)
I do get razor bumps/ingrown hairs when shaving the bikini area so I recently got an aftershave to see if it helps, so I'll see if I can figure out if I can make my own.
According to Shenet (Swedish page) an aftershave is practically water or cream with some alcohol or other disinfectant in it.

Tell me about your simple beauty 😊

This is not nearly finished, but it's something at least.

What is my hair type?

Hair shape, is it straight, curly, or wavy?

Hairstraind thickness, how thick is an individual hair?
F - Fine hair strands, can barely see or feel them when rolled between fingers.
M - Medium hair strands, in between fine and coarse, are fairly easy to see and feel kind of like a regular sewing thread.
C - Coarse hair strands, easy to see even against backgrounds with the same color, feels stiff between fingers and when you roll it back and forth, you might actually hear it.

Hair volume, how thick is the volume of your hair?
To measure this you need to put all of your hair in a ponytail and measure its circumference.
i - thin, less than 5 cm / 2 inches
ii - average, between 5-10 cm / 2-4 inches
iii - thick, more than 10 cm / 4 inches

Combining these, you get your hair type like this: 3B/C/ii

How to measure hair lengths

Hey everyone,
I [28F] need some advice on handling anxiety when job hunting.

Almost a week ago I finished school and I'm once again without work. I've been job hunting about 40-50% of my adult life and it has taken a huge toll on my mental health to the point where I'm barely able to apply for jobs anymore. I have gotten a few warnings over the years due to not applying to enough jobs. ( I live in Sweden btw )

I have tried taking breaks.
I have tried waiting for the anxiety to pass.
I have asked so many for advice but it's like they all give the same default answer. If their advice where enough, I would be a pro at job hunting.

I did get an autism diagnosis a few years back and I do feel better about myself, more confident and understanding of how I work so I think this time around will be different, but it's like the old anxiety still hangs around and I don't know how to get rid of it.

Please if you have any advice, I'd love to hear it.
