This weekend marks the two year anniversary of the Skincare Fanatics Facebook group, and looking at my empties it’s very clear to me how much it’s affected my life. When I started the group, my routine was, well, getting more elaborate, but still pretty small. Now, I’ve budgeted myself $100 USD per month and shopContinue reading “February Empties Reviews; or Two Years as a Skincare Group Admin”

January Openeds Reviews
After complaining about no snow in November and December, January has finally packed a wintery wallop. The weather and darkness outside, combined with life stress, has my skin not super happy this month: itchy body skin and the return of breakouts around my mouth. At the same time, given my weird “I run out ofContinue reading “January Openeds Reviews”
Skincare How To: Starting a Routine
We’re still in January, but if you’re anything like me you’ve already failed at least one resolution. (Resolution was to not order delivery food in January … at least we’re only doing it once a week. Husband’s a better cook, anyway.) But if one of your resolutions has been to start a skincare routine andContinue reading “Skincare How To: Starting a Routine”
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”
July Openeds Reviews
Ah July, nearly the height of summer here in Colorado. It’s been dry and smoky (seemingly the new normal in the Western US), and my skincare has been reflecting that — there’s a strong focus on antioxidants and sunscreen below. As always, products are listed in the order you would theoretically use them in aContinue reading “July Openeds Reviews”
July Empties Review
You know it’s summer when three of your empties are sunscreen. This review includes some hits, some misses and some holy grails. So let’s jump right into what I finished slathering on my dry skin this month. Sweet Chef Oat Milk Latte Cleanser This cleanser has lasted me ages, but it’s a good one —Continue reading “July Empties Review”
March Openeds Reviews
I evidently broke all my rules about how often one should start new products this month — I usually say no more frequent than once per week. But this month saw a lot of old favorites for me (Krave Beauty, Versed, Inkey List, Good Skin Days) and my skin has been really thirsty and moreContinue reading “March Openeds Reviews”
