I like skincare. If you like skincare you probably understand the hundreds of tiny bottles and containers i have built up in my bathroom. My goal this year is to buy no skincare until I’ve gone through all my samples and tiny bottles and used up my remainders of products that i got close to finishing but didn’t. It’s going well so far, 4 in Feb and 6 from January. Wish me luck 🤑

More minimal skincare

Okay, so I fell into the tik tok trap of trying to look like a teenager for as long as possible, and I told my dermatologist to prescribe me retinol. I used it, like three nights a week, and then got so obsessed with the false belief I had in my head that it was making me like a doll, I was using it almost night...yikes. But THEN, I went to a facialist and the second I walked in she was like ….”you’re using retinol, aren’t you?” and she told me it was irritating my skin and that I should stop immediately. She told me to stop with all the serums, the at home peels, the 200$ lotion, and instead wash my face with Klorane’s micellar blue cornflower water…random lol. And to use Avene’s Cicalfate+ cream by pressing it, not rubbing it, into my face over and over again. I’ve never had a more minimal skincare regime in my life, of course I still use SPF every morning, but stripping back on all the glamorous goops has seriously improved my skin texture and my overall vibe. Also, I’m saving so much money because I’m literally addicted to buying skincare, and now I feel like I’m not allowed to, and I have a weird religious school instilled thing where I don’t really do things i’m “not allowed” to do lol. More on that in my next album.

Skincare

1. Learning about the various ingredients and how they work is surprisingly fascinating 2. Testing them out to see which ones your skin responds the best to is fun! 3. After a couple weeks/months when the results start to show is the most satisfying thing ever

going to the dermatologist

also kind of hate this, but as an almost-25-year-old woman with constant cystic acne it makes me feel like i’m taking care of myself as best i can. instead of dropping money on tiktok ”korean” skincare that makes you have “glass skin” i can talk to a literal doctor. although i’m starting to think the idea of “clear skin” is perhaps unattainable for me, i can at least try until i’m too tired to care. i’ve been trying for over ten years now…no end in sight.
