April Empties Reviews

It feels like I was back to my old tricks in April, with over 10 empties. You would think that would mean a complete routine overhaul, but my routine is so long that you would be wrong. That said, while I spent April focusing on getting back into skincare (sometimes work wears me down, andContinue reading “April Empties Reviews”

March Openeds Reviews

Guess who’s back. Back again. A surprising amount of discontinued and reformulated skincare, that’s what! Great to have some old friends back in my routine, as well as try some new things. And stay tuned for next week, when Beet the Sun and Beet Shield go head-to-head (ish). Back Again 💖 Krave Beauty Beet theContinue reading “March Openeds Reviews”

March Empties Reviews

Ahhhh how is it April. Travel and a director-level job has taken a lot of my attention, even from simply doing my routine, which is why I almost certainly should have more empties this month than I do. I find myself shifting away from having a true routine and more towards just using what IContinue reading “March Empties Reviews”

February Empties Reviews

February went by quickly, as it is wont to do. My face largely returned to normal, after January’s upset, but an eczema/psoriasis/I’m-secretly-allergic-to-my-dogs patch on the back of my neck caused problems. My empties tend to come in waves, with some months being all about serums, others about toners — this is a serum one. Here’sContinue reading “February Empties 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”

November Empties Reviews

November was supposed to be chill, but it was not. It’s one of the more stressful months of my life, thanks to my job, and my seborrheic dermatitis flared accordingly. It likes to hang out around my nose, and was red and itchy and ouchy. I did not love that, and it was super frustratingContinue reading “November Empties 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”
