March Empties Reviews

March was a big month for me, and not just because I wound up with 15 empties. Work has been nuts, and we just got a new puppy (who, of course, puppy bombed the photo for this post). My skin’s also noticing that winter’s about to end and spring is starting, so what I’m lookingContinue reading “March Empties Reviews”

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”

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 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”

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”

November Empties Reviews

Helloooooo depths of autumn. This is the latest it’s been before getting some serious snow here in Colorado, and the weather has been remarkably mild, but the increased cold weather dryness has definitely begun to hit. My empties seem to come in phases, with this month being lots of serums in particular. As a reminder,Continue reading “November 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”

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”
