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”

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”
December Openeds Reviews
My skincare in December felt very dominated by my “sheet mask every day” challenge — which I did succeed at! But I did still empty a fair bit of skincare, so I had to open a fair bit too! And since I get questions every time: I don’t rate skincare when opening it — you’llContinue reading “December Openeds Reviews”
December Empties Review
I was a bit surprised to see that I still managed to empty a fair bit of skincare in December — it felt like a very busy month, between holidays and a birthday staycation, and my sheet mask every day challenge (which I did manage to finish! More on that at some other time) didContinue reading “December Empties Review”
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”
November Openeds Reviews
It may have been an unseasonably warm November in Colorado — we still haven’t gotten any meaningful snow in the Front Range, and I even had the windows open this week — but the wind and low humidity is hitting hard. I’ve specifically been finding my skin drying out during the day, so while manyContinue reading “November Openeds Reviews”
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”
