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”

Skincare Experience: Getting a HydraFacial
It’s no secret that I love me some self-care: I run a skincare blog, I run a skincare group, I bathe so often I occasionally wreck my skin barrier, and I recently invested in a monthly massage package at a local day spa. In my effort to be a high-functioning adult human less and aContinue reading “Skincare Experience: Getting a HydraFacial”
A 2021 Skincare Retrospective
I’ve now been a full-fledged skincare fanatic for over two years (fun fact: Skincare Fanatics FB group started at the end of February 2020) and a skincare blogger for over one. I never expected the group to hit a thousand members, let alone 65k (it’s doubled in the past year). And I never expected toContinue reading “A 2021 Skincare Retrospective”

Lisa’s List: Top-Rated Skincare of 2021 Part 1 — Toners, Essences, Serums, Creams & Oils
Folks seem to love my ratings (out of 10) of skincare, so I figured there’s no time like the present to collate all of my top-rated (10 out of 10) skincare for the year. Note: I only rate skincare when it’s emptied (if it’s newly opened, I haven’t been using it for long enough toContinue reading “Lisa’s List: Top-Rated Skincare of 2021 Part 1 — Toners, Essences, Serums, Creams & Oils”
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”
How to Sustainably Level Up Your Skincare Routine
So you’ve been using your skincare routine for a little while, and you’re eyeing the (many many, painful number of) November sales, and you’re wondering “What’s Next?” for your skincare journey. Maybe you just want to add a little something to get some additional results or add a little joy to your routine, or maybeContinue reading “How to Sustainably Level Up Your Skincare Routine”
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Skincare: A Guide to (Skincare) Gifting
Skincare is deeply personal, but if you, like me, are a skincare fanatic (or, realistically, just if you’re reading this), chances are it’s one of the principal things you want to gift people, whether this upcoming holiday season or year around. I know with 99% certainty that everything I’m gifting is skincare (or cooking) adjacent,Continue reading “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Skincare: A Guide to (Skincare) Gifting”
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”
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”
