This past (non-calendar) month has been (quite possibly) the worst of my life, and so while the first half of May was going pretty strong, as these openeds and last week’s empties will attest, I feel like I could have been doing a lot more on the skincare front. I’ve certainly missed plenty of routines,Continue reading “May Openeds Reviews”

January Openeds Reviews
Hello skin woes, my old enemies. It’s not nice to see you again. Two Januaries in a row, now, my skin has been on the struggle bus. Last year, it was psoriasis all over my body. This year, it was a resurgence of my seborrheic dermatitis (and a nice little patch of contact dermatitis onContinue reading “January Openeds Reviews”
January Empties Reviews
After a relatively slow empties month in December, January was back to the old me in a big way — though I’m trying to NOT “one in, one out” this month, so expect fewer openeds reviews next week. My seborrheic dermatitis came back this month, in part, I suspect, due to one of the productsContinue reading “January Empties Reviews”
November Openeds Reviews
Is it halfway through December? Yes. Was I delayed in posting due to birthday and work shenanigans? Also yes. My seborrheic dermatitis flared up again in a big way last month, so I brought some old favorites come back into my routine while busting out some new heavy hitters. About two weeks out from whenContinue reading “November Openeds Reviews”
October Empties Reviews
How is it already November? October flew by, but I racked up plenty of empties as I spent the increasingly longer evenings on increasingly elaborate skincare routines. (One of these days I should share my whole routine and allow myself to get dragged, but you can probably intuit its length based on these monthly reviews.)Continue reading “October Empties Reviews”
July Empties Reviews
July was one of the more wild months of my life, which is why this post is coming to you not one, but over two weeks late (I always target empties for the last weekend of the month). It was also an unprecedentedly hot and humid July in Colorado, which did a bit of aContinue reading “July Empties Reviews”
April Openeds Reviews
April was rough in Colorado — the whole time, it was so windy I barely emerged from my hermit cave. But I’m starting to look forward to summer, and time spent outside. My new skincare choices reflect this: these are mostly more transitional textures — not too heavy, not too light, easy to include orContinue reading “April Openeds Reviews”
Skincare How To: Hydrate the Skin
We are, all of us, aqueous solutions. Notionally, the adult human body is 60% water, and the skin is critical to keep all of that water (and other goodness) in and all of the gunk of the world, well, out. In order to function the best to protect you, and to feel the bounciest, yourContinue reading “Skincare How To: Hydrate the Skin”
February Openeds Reviews
Oh February. You were wild. As I’ve mentioned in other posts, I continued battling a rash and I think it’s finally subsided for real, but it really wrecked me this month. That resulted in me having (comparatively) fewer opened products, since I didn’t want to introduce too many new variables to my routine after itContinue reading “February Openeds Reviews”
February Empties Reviews; or Two Years as a Skincare Group Admin
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”
