Tell us about what skincare ingredients and products you love!

Okay, so I LOVE TALKING SKINCARE. This is a huge topic for me and I often write up a blog post once a year where i recommend skin care products. So here is this year’s recommendation! An insanelyyyyy long and detailed post nobody asked for!! HERE WE GO: 

I am a long time skincare advocate...before it really blew up and people started really getting to know more about their products and ingredients. I’ve just always had very acne-prone skin so I’ve had to pay attention to what products and ingredients I was using and how their formulas worked for me. As a result, over the years I tried A SHIT TON of products. Many expensive, fancy, high end, etc. But now I have my skincare routine down to a much more manageable and quality ingredient list. Obviously everyone’s skin is different...but this is what I use on a regular basis these days:

Serums:

- Krave Beauty’s Great Barrier Relief Serum: Honestly, this is THE SHIT. My favorite moisturizing serum to really help balance your skins hydration barrier and stay hydrated. It’s thicker and almost feels like a moisturizer. It’s so great.  - The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Drops: Niacinamide is an amazing ingredient for your skin and can help a tremendous amount with clearing the skin, resurfacing, fading scars, and more. This really does a good job helping with my acne, so i really recommend to anyone. And I am pretty sure it’s like $5 cause it’s from the ordinary.

Moisturizers:

- CeraVe Moisturizing Cream: It’s a very cheap drug store moisturizer that has good, clean ingredients. After using fancy moisturizers for years, I finally gave into my dermatologist’s recommended lotion. LOL. They do have a lotion that is lighter, but my skin tends to be dryer, especially in the winter so I use the cream not the lotion. It’s thicker. (For high end junkies--it’s like comparing Drunk Elephant’s LaLa Retro to their Protini cream). I also sometimes throw in drops of a marula oil into this cream if I am really dry. Make myself a little face smoothie. 

Eye/Lip Creams:

- Mario Badescu Ceramide Herbal Eye Cream: Now honestly, I still haven’t found my perfect eye cream yet...but I have used this one for a few years now. It moisturizes well and is cheap to buy. It’s probs not the most effective but at least I am moisturizing my eye area. One day I will take on more eye creams that target certain things, but that is one day when I have money to spend lmao. -Glossier Bubblewrap Lip/Eye Cream: This is a very unique moisturizing product that is meant for sensitive skin like your eye area and lips. It does say it plumps a bit, which I don’t ever feel a plumping effect, but I do love to use it on my lips. It’s so moisturizing and is kind of like using a primer before you apply chapstick or lipstick. 

Exfoliators:

- Glossier Solution: The OG chemical exfoliant I tried and loved. These types of products aren’t great for everyone, and may have to be used less or more depending on skin type, but as an acne-prone human, I love a chemical exfoliant. This works and lasts a long while.

- Krave Beauty’s Kale-Lalu_AHA: Another chemical exfoliant. I recently tried this one because I do believe Krave Beauty uses better ingredients than Glossier Skin typically does (no shade tho). They were close in price, so I made the switch and have enjoyed the results so far. The packaging is also beautiful.

- Dr. Brant Microdermabrasion Exfoliant: This is NOT a chemical peel, this has aluminum oxyde crystals in it to polish the skin like a normal exfoliant would. It also has a lot of ingredients that help renew and refresh the skin while exfoliating. Now this product is HELLA expensive...I only have it because I once bought it for way cheaper when I had a subscription box. I don’t know if I would spend the full $80 bucks on it, but your skin does feel smooth.

- Tatcha The Deep Polish: This is an enzyme powder that you mix with water and exfoliate fro there. It is from when I used to buy the highest end products in hopes it would help my skin. It is pricey, but again does leave your skin feeling soft. So I rotate it in from time to time.

Masks: 

- The Ordinary’s AHA 30% BHA 2% Peeling Solution: AKA THE BLOOD MASK. Now hugely popular on social media, the “blood mask” is a chemical mask that peels off dead skin and essentially works to eliminate the top layers of your skin and begin rejuvenating a fresher layer for softer, healthier, plumper skin. I do this once a week and it is way cheap. I can compare it to Drunk Elephant’s Sukari Babyfacial and it definitely beats that expensive version.

- Glow Recipe’s Avocado Melt Sleeping Mask: This is an overnight moisturizing mask that you simply wash off in the morning. It really helps lock in moisture and feels nice on the skin. I use this when I am feeling really dry. 

- Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask: This one you have to mix the dry clay mixture with water and apple cider vinegar to create a goo that you can then let dry on your face. It may be intense for some, but I find it really helps dry out my acne spots and reduce redness in my skin. It’s always a fun one to do with other people too because you do have to prepare it. Good sleepover activity. 

- GlamGlow Bubble Sheet Mask:  This one is honestly more so used for when I am traveling and want to keep a mask on hand or when I am having a fun girls night or something. It’s a bubble mask--so to me that just means fun. I typically avoid sheet masks (unless I am traveling) because I think you end up throwing a way a lot of product you are paying for. But this one is fun, it’s cute, it’s different. I don’t notice a huge change in my skin tbh, but it is a fun activity for girls night. 

Honorable Mention/Random Products:

- Youth to the People’s Kale and Green Tea Superfood Cleanser: I stayed away from this one for a long time because it’s expensive and I could rationalize buying such an expensive cleanser, but I got a gift card to Sephora and finally decided to try it. And ya know what?? I guess I am fancy now because I really love it. It does not overly strip your skin at all, and for the first time in my life I really know what that means. It’s so great, it smells so good. Ugh. Can’t get enough of this bougie bitch of a face wash.

- The Inkey List Retinol Cream: A recent purchase, but I have enjoyed seeing the results. Everyone imo should be using an eye cream and a retinol. This is a nice introduction to retinol, so I recommend to those looking for one.

- Glossier Mint Balm Dot Com Chapstick: THIS AGAIN--IS THE SHIT. Many will say they would never spend more than two bucks but one tube of their’s is seven bucks and it is WORTH IT. I buy the three pack once a year and i’m good. This is the best chapstick you will literally ever use. Fucking buy it. If I could tell you only three products that are a must from this list this would be one of them. (the other two would be great barrier relief and the kale cleanser)

- Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask: I like this lip mask, it’s not needed everynight, but I do like to use a lip exfoliant (made or buy one, whatever) and then use this to really retextures my lips. 

- Bag Balm: Now this is a very unusual product to recommend lmaooo. Originally, bag balm is used for chapped cow udders on farms--which is how I discovered it. Farmers eventually noticed that it helped your skin retain moisture and repair cracked skin in their hands. So now it is known as a good thick ass cream for hands and feet. Now this shit is again--used on cows originally, so the formula feels thick and greasy. I like putting it on at night and letting it soak in for a while as I lay on my phone. It really works--I swear to you. 

- Sagely CBD Cream: I use their relief and recovery crea which smells like lavender and has a cooling effect when applied to the skin (kinda like biofreeze or icyhot would). This is only a 50mg CBD lotion, but I do like it. 

- Mad Ritual CBD Muscle Recovery Balm: Now this is thick and definitely a balm, not a cream. It is much higher strength though, so I break it out when needed and a little goes a long way. This one is 200mg of CBD. 

- Mario Badescu Drying Lotion: This drying lotion is now so popular but has been a staple of mine for at least a decade now. You leave it on over night and it really does dry up and reduce zit size. Helps a lot. There must be a reason why super models are told to use this shit before a runway show. 

- Tatcha The Essence: Essences are a new and kind of weird thing, kinda like priming the skin to allow for better absorption of a product. Now this product I received as a Christmas gift one year, but I am pretty sure it’s like $100...breaking the bank as always, tatcha. Anyway, it does allow for better absorption of products and feels light and refreshing on the skin. One bottle has lasted me two years now. I don’t know if I would recommend it, but I do use it somewhat regularly and it does make you feel like a bougie bitch. 

AND THAT IS THE END. Sorry that was soooo long. But like I said, I do a write up once a year of my skincare products anyway. So there you guys have it!! If you have any questions at all about your skin or skincare routine , honestly hit me up. Over the years I have slowly has friends come to me. Once I collect all of the I will have all of the infinity stones lmao.

Hmm some kind of cologne

Like I'm thinking some type of wood

Sandalwood?

What ever it is it's very inviting, like what you would imagine a hug to smell like

Sugawara Koshi

A clean boy 😌

Dryer sheets, definitely dryer sheets

Like ya know those candles that are called like fresh linen? Yeah that's the scent

He just likes to smell clean, he's not really into strong scents bc they can give him headaches

Asahi Azumane

Aight he's a pretty nervous boy so ya know, he sweats alot

I think smelling bad would just add to his anxiety so he's alWaYs on top of his game when it comes to hygiene

My brain just keeps coming back to those products that are called like ocean or seaside

He smellin v v fresh, nothing really strong but nothing too weak where you don't notice it

Also his hair would always smell really nice

Kiyoko Shimizu

Ok I know exactly what she smells like

Vanilla

There's a certain perfume I have that I'm basing this off of, it's called fresh cream, warm cashmere by philosophy

If you know you know

But its really nice, like it smells very warm and comforting

Kinda like her

Tanaka Ryunosuke

OH HO HO THIS BOY SMELLS SPICY!!

I feel like everyone says he smells like Axe but nah it's Old Spice man 😎

It's vErY overpowering tho, like it's a dominant scent

He doesn't know when to stop when it comes to fragrance so he just kinda over does it

Saeko DEFINITELY steps in at some point and helps him tho

Nishinoya Yuu

Oh boy

Now this my friends is our Axe culprit

It's not even the stick deodorant, it's the fucking aerosol spray 😔

Couldn't be bothered to put in more effort than just deodorant tbh

He's always moving around or being active in some form so he doesn't really see the point of/ waste his time with cologne

Ennoshita Chikara

Ennoshita was pretty difficult to figure out

I don't want to reuse scents that are similar to other members, but my brain keeps coming back to laundry detergent

He just loves having fresh clean clothes on so he always smells like laundry detergent

I also kept coming back to eucalyptus for some reason so ig that too

Kinoshita Hisashi

Hm ok so what first came to mind was lavender

Kinoshita just gives me soft vibes

I feel like he would be into those hand lotions that have calming properties, so maybe that's where I'm getting lavender from

It's not very strong but if you pay attention you'll notice it

Narita Kazuhito

OOOHH COCONUT!

Not like a sickeningly sweet coconut, it's very tame

Bro Narita would just smell nice

I just feel like he'd be more drawn to earthy scents rather than really strong artificial scents cough tananoya cough

Tsukishima Kei

Peppermint

Why? I really don't know, it's just a feeling

It just kinda fits his vibe ig

Lol he'd so be one of those people that brush their teeth after eating lunch

Yamaguchi Tadashi

Oh my sweet boy Yams ❤️

Alright I headcannon Yams to smell Citrus-y

Like oranges

It's not very strong either, you'll only notice if you're sitting next to him or when giving him a hug :)

Hinata Shoyo

I've already mentioned what Hinata would smell like in a previous post but I'll say it again

CINN 👏A👏MON👏

Nothing too overpowering where your like oh wOah thAts cinnamon, it's very light and it makes him very pleasant to be around

He would also smell like fresh laundry, he's a clean boy 😌😌

Kageyama Tobio

Another active boy

Kinda Noya pt. 2

He wouldn't use Axe tho

Probably uses like Speed stick or Dove men's deodorant

Doesn't get too fancy with the scents just wants something quick and easy

Yachi Hitoka

Mmmmm ok Yachi is such a soft bby

I feel like she would smell like those perfumes that almost smell like candys

Like girl smells like Smarties 24/7

I feel like she would always have one of those cute little role on perfumes with her at all times :))

Hi Rosie! 🥺💖 Thank you so much!!! This got really long so a put read more on lol 

Join My Sleepover! 🎉🥰🍾

Coffee if I have to choose but I love both!

I love love love the Ben & Jerry’s cannoli ice cream BUT chocolate and vanilla swirl with rainbow sprinkles is my fave 

I love sweatshirts lol my favorite is my one my friend got me that has the scene from the office where Dwight has a pumpkin on his head! 

I’m really bad at remembering to wear jewelry but I never take my nose ring out so it's always there so probably that lol. 

My aesthetic is like post-emo meets dark academia, I don’t know how else to describe it besides a mess really lol

Baked sweets for sure I love cookies!

My bedsheets are light blue

I have many many many stuffies that I’ve kept since I was little and have added to even now lol so like I don’t even know how many at this point!

shampoo and conditioner are definitely like coconut or like tropical smells? I have wavy-curly hair so most of them have coconut oil in them which I think smells super good! But perfume I lean more towards lavender and vanilla type scents!

My favorite candles are ones that smell like lavender or earthy or like men’s cologne lol

Silk! I love smooth fabrics even if I get cold 

I actually don’t like slippers lol I don’t know why I always think I want them but then literally never use them lol

Dark academia all the way :) 

Blankets are amazing presents I love them on any occasion!

My favorite PJs are a pair of purple shorts that have blue bears drinking tea and I usually wear a random baggy t-shirt with them

I love the Burt's bees chia latte holiday flavor chapstick it's my favorite right now! 

My childhood nickname is actually bear lol which is why I picked nony bear lol 

My favorite Disney princesses are Belle and Repunzel! 

Favorite character scenario is definitely anything ddlg related but other than that I’m a sucker for friends to lovers

My favorite Disney movie is Lilo and Stitch closely followed by Big Hero 6, Tangled, Beauty and The Beast, honestly, I’m so indecisive lol

Childhood crushes were Nick Jonas, Zac Efron, Josh Hutcherson, and Niall Horan lol ESPECIALLY Niall 

I honestly don’t know who I’d like to switch lives with! Maybe Zendaya? she’s so successful and talented and pretty and knows like everyone so I’m sure I could find a way to meet Chris lol

Songs I’m currently obsessed with are Death by a thousand cuts by Taylor Swift, Driver’s License, but Olivia Rodrigo, You and Jennifer by bulow, I’m sad by eli, and Drew Barrymore by Bryce Vine!

My current comfort movie is actually a tv show and it's on Netflix and its called maniac lol 

Comfort food is fruit gummies and quesadillas!

I honestly have no special talents lol except I’m kind of good at drawing maybe? I don't know I’m trying to get better 

A huge pet peeve is loud chewers and slow walkers lol 

Turn-ons and offs are a huge list but big turn-ons are big hands, big noses lmao, and funny guys, turn offs are when guys are cocky in the way that they are disrespectful or are overtly sexual about everything. Also, turn off is republicans lol

I would want someone funny to portray me lol I’m not sure who but maybe someone up and coming that my movie can be their breakout role lol

I don’t paint my nails a lot because I’m lazy but if I were to paint them right now I’d probably choose like a dusty pink rose vibe

I love romcoms but one of my absolute favorites is 10 things I hate about you, I cry every time I swear 

I love horror movies (well when I’m not feeling little lol) I specifically love the SAW franchise, Us, and The Shining!

I love the friends to lovers trope in movies and also like good girl bad guy lol and even like a bit of enemies to lovers I like a lot 

I grew up listening to one direction and a lot of emo stuff like twenty-one pilots and panic at the disco and my chemical romance and I still love all of those bands so much honestly especially one direction and twenty-one pilots

My animal sidekick would absolutely be a snail! I love snail so much and I already have a pet snail so yes 100% snail lol

And finally, I’d choose cashmere sweaters because turtlenecks make me too itchy! 

Thank you so much Rosie this was so much fun! If anyone actually reads all my answers you're a real one lol 💖💞💗
