Favorites Sofia Rodriguez

Hi, I'm Sofía Rodríguez, and since 2011 I've been learning about, analyzing, and testing many, many cosmetic products, mainly natural ones, but also from the rest of the vast market. Here I describe my skin and hair, in case you find most of what I use or have used and liked (honestly, of course) helpful, keeping in mind that I'm lucky enough to have many options to choose from.

I'm 40 years old and have combination skin , sometimes oily (when I was 20, it was definitely oily), but mostly very prone to dehydration . It reddens easily, and if I don't take care of it daily, it loses its radiance, becomes more sensitive, and my pores quickly become noticeable. I'm starting to notice a slight loss of firmness and some dark spots , which is normal :)

I have wavy but fine hair , an oily scalp , and it's prone to frizz . If I overdo it with moisturizer and styling products, my hair becomes flat and lifeless, and the next day it looks like I haven't washed it in five days. But if I don't use enough, it frizzes. I'm looking for products that define my waves through hydration, not hold, and that give me the right balance between a frizz-free finish and a weightless feel. It's tricky... because I also have limited time and I don't like carrying around a lot of products (just one shampoo and one styling product), so what I recommend here is geared towards that goal. I hope you find it helpful.
