As some of you may know, I’ve been on a skincare no/low buy this year. Prior to this challenge I’ve generally not been posting my hauls, as I think they can be triggering for some and be seen as promoting buying skincare over using skincare, but I thought it might be worth it to shareContinue reading “Skincare Hauls on a Low/No Buy”

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”
For the Joy of Sheet Masks
On some level, I feel that my skin owes sheet masks a life debt. It was not too long ago (well, not too long ago in just-turned-34 time, it was actually around 30) that I was a casual user of moisturizer and sunscreen, and an incredibly reluctant user of cleanser. To be fair, I’m stillContinue reading “For the Joy of Sheet Masks”
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”
March Mask Madness
This winter I’ve gotten really into masking. Like, really really. I did two wash-off masks and one sheet mask on Friday night. It’s been a nice way to fill dark evenings and cold weekend days. I think of wash-off masks in three categories: clay/charcoal/drying masks. These were really the only type available when I wasContinue reading “March Mask Madness”
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”
A Pantone Perfect Potion
It’s too soon to give my opinion on this (so far delightful) Vitamin C serum, but I just want to point out that Good (Skin) Days’ “C’s the Day Serum” is nearly a dead ringer for Pantone’s 2021 colors of the year. Probably is a dead ringer if you get the lighting and editing justContinue reading “A Pantone Perfect Potion”
Cosrx Giveaway
CALL THE NEWSPAPERS, I FINALLY WON SOMETHING. Cosrx had a giveaway for their entire Cica line, and I won! It just arrived from Korea. I’m so jazzed, though I feel a bit bad for not knowing anything about the kpop fella who they partnered with for it.
