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.

September Openeds Reviews
Autumn has come late to northern Colorado this year, but it’s finally here. September oversaw the transition, with highs still in the 90s many days but lows getting into the 40s. (Yes, 50 F degree temperature swings are not unheard of here, though 30 F degree ones are more common). Much of what I openedContinue reading “September Openeds Reviews”
August Openeds Reviews
August saw a lot of new products — and a lot of new brands for me! How I’ve managed to be into skincare for so long without trying famous brands like Some By Mi or Sunday Riley, or even less famous but still popular ones like Mizon, Abib or Ample:N I don’t know, but IContinue reading “August Openeds Reviews”
August Empties Reviews
One of these times I’ll actually iron my backdrops, but not this month! It’s been a busy one, though not so much in terms of emptying skincare.

June Openeds Review
It’s summer! And summer means sun, and heat, and trips. I’ve been mountain biking multiple times a week, hitting up the farmers’ market and melting in 90+ degree heat. I also went to Telluride for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, which you’ll read many references to below. Through it all, my skincare had to keepContinue reading “June Openeds Review”

Products are listed in the order you might use them in a routine, with single-use skincare at the very end. Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm This isContinue reading “June Empties Review”
April Openeds Reviews
This month’s opened products were really about getting ready for warmer weather as Colorado continues to waffle about what season we’re in. But as I think about all of these products the big thing that stands out to me, rather than transitional, is sensorial! For almost all of these products, the texture is possibly theContinue reading “April Openeds Reviews”
April Empties Review
Sometimes I worry about how much skincare I buy, then I see how much skincare I go through and I think “nope, seems fine.” Here’s what I emptied in April! Cosrx Cica Serum I won this serum (and the rest of Cosrx’s cica line) back in late November/early December. This serum isn’t as immediately calmingContinue reading “April Empties Review”
Must Love Bees: The Buzz on Bee Products
Bees are the best — for the environment and for your skin. They make honey, propolis and royal jelly, all three of which are great for any skin type (unless you’re vegan or allergic to bees, in which case skip them), and a particular secret weapon for dry, sensitive skin types that are prone toContinue reading “Must Love Bees: The Buzz on Bee Products”
