The temperatures in Colorado right now are downright upsetting — highs in the teens, low in the negatives (in Fahrenheit, of course). While I work from home and have mostly been blessed with not going outside, winter still takes its toll. Knowing that many folks are currently facing the same issues, I wanted to shareContinue reading “Hot Skincare Tips for Cold Weather”

Cocktailing: Guide to a Skincare Nightcap
The pandemic has really cut down on the number of cocktails I consume, but as I get more into skincare the cocktails have come back — just topically. Of course, for the most part alcohol’s very much fallen out of favor in skincare, but that’s not the sort of cocktail I’m talking about. (Though toContinue reading “Cocktailing: Guide to a Skincare Nightcap”
An Incomplete Introduction to Hydrating Toners
I LOVE TONERS. SO MUCH I currently have all of these pictured above in rotation, and honestly my skin has never looked or felt better. If you haven’t gotten on the hydrating toner train yet, I 110% encourage and endorse it, regardless of your skin type. Specifically for dry skin in a dry place, IContinue reading “An Incomplete Introduction to Hydrating Toners”
Twelve Days of Sheet Masks
Christmas already feels like a long time ago, but last Tuesday (January 5) was technically the twelfth day of Christmas. Depending upon where you’re from, you may or may not be familiar with the Christmas carol “Twelve Days of Christmas”, where someone recounts the many, surprisingly bird-related gifts their true love gave to them overContinue reading “Twelve Days of Sheet Masks”
A 2020 Retrospective
Oh 2020. What a year, amirite? While COVID kept us all inside, skincare became a way to do self care and explore while exploration was impossible. The Skincare Junkies Facebook group started in late February and I never expected it to even hit 3k members, let alone over 30k. It’s been an awful year forContinue reading “A 2020 Retrospective”
Skincare Aesthetics
Let’s talk skincare aesthetics! Obviously we all want skincare that works, that won’t go bad, that’s nice to use, etc. But is there anything specific to packaging that will make you more or less apt to buy something? Any style of container that really increases your joy when using a product? Or do you evenContinue reading “Skincare Aesthetics”
Sucker for Snail
I love snails. I loved playing with them when I was little, now I love putting their mucin on my face. I think it’s great that so many brands have figured out how to benefit from these little critters in a cruelty-free way. These are all the snail products I have. Any others you’d recommend?Continue reading “Sucker for Snail”
Skincare Sorrow to Bath Blessing
What’s a product that didn’t work for your face but you ended up loving for something else? For me, the Biossance Cleansing Oil and my forehead didn’t get along — I couldn’t get it to emulsify well. But put it in the bath and boom: nice fragrance and skin that didn’t feel dry when emerging.Continue reading “Skincare Sorrow to Bath Blessing”
Skincare and Chill
Settling in for some TV and skincare, and using Versed Press Restart for the first time, eeeek! Confession: tonight I’ll be double cleansing over the kitchen sink. Do you haul your skincare around your home or do you always do it in one location like a sensible person? 😅
Being a Financially Responsible Skincare Fanatic
BUY ALL THE THINGS, BABY, IT’S A SALE. Just kidding. The temptation is real, but buying everything all the time isn’t realistic. So how do you walk the line between splurgey skincare fun times and “omg I have to make this smidge of moisturizer last two weeks”?
