October Openeds Reviews

You should not open this many products in a month. I have a problem. I also have a long skincare routine that keeps my aging, dry, dehydrated, seborrheic-dermatitis-prone feeling good, so arguably that problem is more of a solution. Enough justification, though: here’s what entered my skin- and body-care routine last month. Wash-Off Products 🍏Continue reading “October Openeds Reviews”

October Empties Reviews

This month may be a record for empties — for the first week, I was averaging one per day. Minis are partially to blame, but sometimes that’s just how the products hit you. As a rule I don’t recommend emptying and then opening this many products in a month, as you need to give yourContinue reading “October Empties Reviews”

Falling into Skin Barrier Support

There are many articles out there about transitioning your skincare from summer to autumn, but autumn is all about transition. It’s a moving target and it’s prepping the world for winter, so what you need week-to-week and month-to-month throughout the season can and, if you live in a place with full-fledged seasons, will vary. HereContinue reading “Falling into Skin Barrier Support”

The Hub Take Part 2

It’s time for more husband skincare reviews, for what they’re worth. (I kid — I think it’s worth it to get non-skincare-fanatic takes on skincare.) Being Very Into Skincare, it’s been great to get my primary reason for living into my third reason for living (the second reason for living is Fran, our mini aussiedoodle,Continue reading “The Hub Take Part 2”

September Openeds Reviews

Autumn has come late to northern Colorado this year, but it’s finally here. September oversaw the transition, with highs still in the 90s many days but lows getting into the 40s. (Yes, 50 F degree temperature swings are not unheard of here, though 30 F degree ones are more common). Much of what I openedContinue reading “September Openeds Reviews”

September Empties Reviews

Ah September. I always think of it as the beginning of autumn, but this year it was really more the end of summer — we routinely had 90 degree days, and I had a tropical getaway to Belize for 9 days over the week of my fourth wedding anniversary (so if you were wondering whyContinue reading “September Empties Reviews”

The Hub Take

Time for something a bit unusual. My husband Josiah has been a huge supporter of my skincare journey, to the point that I’ve finally managed to get him into a bit of a routine — or perhaps more accurately, I’ve at least turned him into a nearly-daily sunscreen wearer. He kindly offered to do aContinue reading “The Hub Take”

August Openeds Reviews

August saw a lot of new products — and a lot of new brands for me! How I’ve managed to be into skincare for so long without trying famous brands like Some By Mi or Sunday Riley, or even less famous but still popular ones like Mizon, Abib or Ample:N I don’t know, but IContinue reading “August Openeds Reviews”

August Empties Reviews

One of these times I’ll actually iron my backdrops, but not this month! It’s been a busy one, though not so much in terms of emptying skincare. This month features the usual suspects like sunscreen and ceramide, vitamin c and propolis serums, as well as some other products you might not have been aware IContinue reading “August Empties Reviews”

Face Off of the Cica Creams: COSRX vs Isntree

So you want a cica cream. Maybe you have persistent sensitive skin and you want some relief, maybe you’re hoping to tone down some redness from rosacea and inflammation, or maybe you just spent too much time out in the sun. Because of cica’s powerhouse soothing and wound-healing benefits, it can be handy to haveContinue reading “Face Off of the Cica Creams: COSRX vs Isntree”
