Ahhhh how is it April. Travel and a director-level job has taken a lot of my attention, even from simply doing my routine, which is why I almost certainly should have more empties this month than I do. I find myself shifting away from having a true routine and more towards just using what IContinue reading “March Empties Reviews”

February Openeds Reviews
It’s funny, for such an extensive skincare routine, I tend to empty (and thus open) a lot of products in the same category at the same time. In February, it was serums — though there’s some other goodies in here, too. As a reminder, these are simply first impressions, and more thorough results and ratingsContinue reading “February Openeds Reviews”
February Empties Reviews
February went by quickly, as it is wont to do. My face largely returned to normal, after January’s upset, but an eczema/psoriasis/I’m-secretly-allergic-to-my-dogs patch on the back of my neck caused problems. My empties tend to come in waves, with some months being all about serums, others about toners — this is a serum one. Here’sContinue reading “February Empties Reviews”
January Openeds Reviews
Hello skin woes, my old enemies. It’s not nice to see you again. Two Januaries in a row, now, my skin has been on the struggle bus. Last year, it was psoriasis all over my body. This year, it was a resurgence of my seborrheic dermatitis (and a nice little patch of contact dermatitis onContinue reading “January Openeds Reviews”
January Empties Reviews
After a relatively slow empties month in December, January was back to the old me in a big way — though I’m trying to NOT “one in, one out” this month, so expect fewer openeds reviews next week. My seborrheic dermatitis came back this month, in part, I suspect, due to one of the productsContinue reading “January Empties Reviews”

December Empties and Openeds Reviews
I usually break empties and openeds into separate posts, but there were fairly few products going into and coming out of my routine in December — the focus of the month was definitely on my Sheet Mask Skincare Challenge, wherein I did a sheet mask, well, every day. Grouping these posts together will also helpContinue reading “December Empties and Openeds Reviews”
End of 2022 Routine Review: Overview of my Current Routine
By popular request, here’s my current routine. As my Empties and Openeds Reviews can attest, I go through a lot of products and have a routine more than ten steps long, but by thinking in product categories I’m able to navigate a constantly shifting routine with relatively good outcomes. I think of skincare in termsContinue reading “End of 2022 Routine Review: Overview of my Current Routine”
November Openeds Reviews
Is it halfway through December? Yes. Was I delayed in posting due to birthday and work shenanigans? Also yes. My seborrheic dermatitis flared up again in a big way last month, so I brought some old favorites come back into my routine while busting out some new heavy hitters. About two weeks out from whenContinue reading “November Openeds Reviews”
