Makeup and skincare products for sensitivities?
Self Care & Hygiene felt like the closest flair here.
My 19-year-old is starting to get interested in makeup and feminine expression for the first time in her life, and with her 20th birthday approaching, I thought I’d put together a little basket of cute girly things she can play with to see what works. Razors and nice shaving cream, fancy hair thingies, maybe some jewelry, and some makeup/skincare.
She is AuDHD and has some sensitivities around makeup and “stuff on her face”, so I wanted to check here and see if anybody has any suggestions for lightweight brands or products that would enable her to play around without triggering a desire to scrub it off her face right away lol.
(For a bit more context, if it’s relevant, she has recently come out as trans-fem and is leaning fem-side-of-androgynous, so likely not going full-face yet. Very interested in good experiences my fellow neurodivergent ladies have had with different products. I am not a makeup person myself.)
