Why has skincare got to be so… much
#it’s a bazillion tiny potions and i feel so lost. like jesus christ#i swear they’re making things up and then charging £1+ per millilitre of product#i took quizzes on 3 different websites and told them the same things and they recommended me totally different products what does it mean#what does it all mean#honestly i might just stick with my current 3 step routine. my skin seems to like it#i was doing like 6 steps but i had to accept that a couple of the serums were irritating my skin. ESPECIALLY the retinol one#so now i’m down to: cleansing (w/ inkey list oat cleansing balm which i’ve been using for ages & have never had a problem with)#the ordinary barrier support serum (just started using this but genuinely it feels so nice. i really like it)#and then i just do lush celestial moisturiser#i do also have the fenty hydra vizor for an option with spf but to be honest it irritates my skin a bit so i’m thinking#about trying inkey list’s spf. my skin is bizarrely chill with polyglutamic acid so it should be fine#i think i might switch from lush celestial when i use up my current tub also. i do really love it but £22 for 45ml is a little bit wild#i think inkey’s omega water cream is £15 for twice as much product#i did get the mini of hydra vizor so that’s not a complete loss#christ. i did want to try typology but they’re SO expensive i about died. yes they have tinted serums but at what cost? ALL MY MONEY#god i wish i still had my 22 year old skin that looked fantastic after being washed with bar soap and moisturised with a fucking body lotion#like once every three days. but alas i am almost 29 and i look like a bus hit me if i don’t baby my skin. it’s so cursed#personal#i Know i shouldn’t care but literally in my mid 20s i went from people being surprised i was old enough to drink#to people being surprised i wasn’t in my 30s yet. practically overnight#i know the pandemic + my various dependencies did a number on me and i also started going prematurely grey but jesus#developing arthritis at 27 cannot possibly have helped either i’ll be honest
