Skincare routines can in fact work but the industry around it and the 25 step routine asmr videos and the hype around a new product every 4 days is bullshit.

How to glow up: physically and mentally *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ

• Physical Glow-Up

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated, reduce bloating, and keep your hair healthy.

Skincare Routine: Develop a simple routine—cleanse, moisturize, and apply sunscreen daily. Tailor it to your skin type. For dry skin you should Exfoliate 1-2 times a week using a gentle exfoliant and focus on moisturizing. For oily skin look for products with salicylic acid or niacinamide to control excess oil and minimize the appearance of pores.

Exercise Regularly: Aim for 20-30 minutes of movement daily—walking, yoga, or a workout you enjoy. It boosts both mood and fitness.

Eat Nutrient-Dense Foods: Focus on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Your skin, hair and body will thank you!

Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep. Rest is crucial for your body's recovery and your mental sharpness.

Dress for Your Body Type: Choose clothing that complements your body shape. Whether you're pear, hourglass, rectangular or any other body shape dressing for your body type can accentuate your best features and boost confidence.

Color Palette: Discover your seasonal color palette (e.g., Dark Winter, Summer). Wearing colors that complement your skin tone, hair, and eyes can make your features stand out. For example, deeper shades like burgundy or navy might suit Dark Winters, while softer tones like pastels might bring out the glow for Summers ( this includes makeup too! ).

• Mental Glow-Up

Set Goals: Set small, achievable goals, whether for personal growth or career, so you can feel accomplished and continue to push yourself to be better.

Learn Something New: Stimulate your mind by learning new skills, reading, or picking up a hobby that excites you ( This can be one of your goals ).

Surround Yourself with Positivity: This includes unplugging and spending less time on harmful social platforms. Spend more time with people who uplift you and avoid toxic environments that drain your energy.

Declutter: A clean and organized space can help clear mental clutter and give you peace of mind. Get rid of things that are taking up space or you don't use that much and stop making excuses to keep them.

note: be happy, be kind and most importantly smile. You don't have to do all these things at once, take it easy and take care of yourself.

Say Goodbye To Acne Scars And Unlock Clear Skin

Acne scars can be a frustrating reminder of past breakouts, but fear not! With the proper skincare routine and the power of niacinamide, retinol, azelaic acid, and AHA/BHA, you can fade those scars and achieve the clear skin you've always desired. In this article, we'll explore how these incredible ingredients work their magic and provide you with an easy-to-follow routine for achieving optimal results.

Niacinamide: The Skin's Best Friend

Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a superstar ingredient when it comes to fading acne scars. This potent antioxidant helps reduce inflammation, regulate sebum production, and improve skin texture. Incorporate a niacinamide serum into your routine to reap its benefits. Apply a few drops after cleansing and before moisturizing for maximum effectiveness.

Retinol: The Holy Grail Of Skincare

Retinol, derived from vitamin A, is a game-changer for acne scars and overall skin health. This ingredient boosts collagen production, speeds up cell turnover, and reduces hyperpigmentation. Start with a low-concentration retinol product and gradually increase usage to avoid irritation. Apply it at night, after cleansing, and before moisturizing, and always wear sunscreen during the day, as retinol can increase sun sensitivity.

Azelaic Acid: The Brightening Warrior

Azelaic acid is a multitasking ingredient that not only fades acne scars but also helps with redness, hyperpigmentation, and acne itself. This gentle exfoliant unclogs pores, reduces inflammation, and brightens the skin. Look for a 10-20% concentration product and apply it after cleansing, followed by moisturizer. Remember to patch test first to ensure compatibility with your skin.

AHA/BHA: The Dynamic Duo

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) are exfoliating powerhouses that work wonders on acne scars. AHAs, such as glycolic acid, help fade scars by gently removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. BHAs, like salicylic acid, penetrate deeper into the pores, reducing inflammation and preventing future breakouts. Incorporate these acids into your routine 2-3 times a week, starting with a lower concentration and gradually increasing as your skin adjusts.

In Conclusion

Achieving clear skin and fading acne scars is within your reach with the help of niacinamide, retinol, azelaic acid, and AHA/BHA. Remember to introduce these ingredients gradually into your routine and always patch-test new products. Consistency is vital, so be patient and give your skin time to adjust. Embrace this powerful skincare routine, and soon enough, you'll be saying goodbye to acne scars and hello to a radiant, flawless complexion!

What's your skincare routine currently?

I actually spent the other week taking stock of how my current routine was working and deciding if I needed to change anything, so I have a lot to say on this

AM:

Wash face with water

(extra step for wintertime) Avène thermal water

Serum with antioxidants and niacinamide: just switched from facetheory Colloidal-C Anti-Redness Toner, which I got in hope of reducing redness (did nothing for me) back to facetheory’s Cera-C Pore Reducing Toner, which actually makes my skin look great. It has 5% niacinamide and a vitamin C derivative, which is what I want – I just would like extra perks (anti-redness). An alternative I’m considering is the Isntree Onion Newpair Gel cream.

(extra step if my skin is feeling very dry i.e. what I use during winter) hydrating serum: I’ve just finished Avène Hydrance Serum which I found very hydrating though too light weight (i.e. not good for winter for me) and honestly it lasted so little that I won’t buy it again. My go to instead is snail mucin: Mizon’s Snail Repair Ampoule (best formula but not so much product, what I’m currently using); or COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Essence (best bang for your buck, though my pump was really bad)

Alpha-arbutin: most recent addition to my skincare & it seems to be making a difference when it comes to discoloration (PIE). I’m using Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum, mostly because this was the only product I could find here in Norway.

Caffeine for my undereye: I’m using The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream – while I can say it’s infinitely better than what The Ordinary offers (because why would you use a dropped for something that goes around the eyes!!), I can’t tell if I’m seeing results or not, despite using it for almost three months. Maybe?

Moisturizer: Eucerin 5% Urea Repair, my holy grail of all time. I buy this by the litre. Since I entered my mid-20s, my skin has turned dry. Combined with drier winters and the heating I have to put on to survive winter, this is the only thing that makes my skin stay intact.

Sunscreen: probably controversial, but I actually don’t wear sunscreen everyday, as the amount of light I get is ridiculous (though I do in the summer or if there is snow). Over the past year, I tried several ones and my top two choices are Beauty of Joseon Sun Relief (cannot fault a single thing and I found it to be good value for money based on how long it lasted me) and Isntree Onion Newpair Sunscreen (jury is out on whether the onion extract actually helps me, but I found the texture to be perfect for me and it actually ensures I apply a proper amount since it’s not too runny)

Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment: amazing!! This has been so far the only thing that helped with redness. I haven’t worn foundation in a year and it’s only because of this. I don’t even think it’s that expensive because I spent 30£ for a 50 ml jar which lasts me six months of daily use. Love it.

PM:

My routine is the following:

Double cleanse: I’ve been liking a lot the Beauty of Jonseon Cleansing Balm – so far the best cleansing product I’ve tried. Micellar water is a no for me, as I don’t like using cotton pads. Oils are mostly ok as an alternative, with iUnik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil being my failsafe (but it doesn’t remove 100% of my mascara).   Next, I use a foaming cleansing gel. My go-to used to be Neutrogena Clear & Defend, but it keeps being sold out, so I’m now using  CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser. It works fine. My main criteria here is price tbh.

facetheory Exaglow serum: the daily base, with tranexamic acid, liquorice root, and a vitamin c derivative, this in combination with whatever active follows has helped me reduce my hyperpigmentation so so much

An active (see below)

Moisturizer: Eucerin Urea repair, again.

Actives is when things get more complicated, because I rotate weekly between (combinations of) them

Differin (adapalene): game changer, I tolerate it very well and I recently increased it to three times per week  + Azelaic acid: I love it and over the years I tried so many different products (available in Europe). I find that for me 10% works just as well as 20%. Usually, a higher price tag gets you better texture (i.e. less grainy) but not better results. Isispharma Metroruboril was very smooth, but a more basic one works just fine for me – hence why I keep going back to The Ordinary’s 10% one. It’s not an area where I feel like I should be spending a lot.

Kojic acid: I’m using Dermaceutic’s Radiance, which works fine in combination with my overall routine. + Retinol: bit of a controversial combination, but because I’ve been using retinols for so long, this works fine. I’m using A313, which is v gentle. I bought it in Paris and it has a too thick texture in my opinion, so once I finished the tube I’ll go back to my fave L’Oreal Revitalift (amazing fragrance, great texture, very hydrating too)

An exfoliant: while some of my products have small percentages of lactic acid in it, so I never felt the need to have a dedicated exfoliating step up. However, I thought I could benefit from it and started using  facetheory’s Glycolacsal which has glycolic acid (8.5%), salicylic acid (1%) and lactic acid (0.5%).  I use it twice a week and it’s really good.

In addition to all of this, twice a week I do a face mask with benoxyl peroxide in the shower which helps tons to keep acne at bay BUT is infinitely better than using the cream, which has bleached all of my towels. The cream used to be a must in my routine but now that overall my acne is under control, I don’t need to use it as often.

This ended up being extremely long, but I love skincare and I feel like I learnt so much about my own skin and how to work with it and what products work in the past few years. I’m testing new things but in a calculated manner. And I don’t know. Skincare is nothing static and the whole process of figuring things out can be fun (and necessary).

6. do you have a favorite quote?

20. favorite skincare products? (Reverse Uno! lol)

25. what inspires you?

:)

6. do you have a favorite quote?

oooh not a quote per se, (and generally I can't settle on a favourite anything lol) but let me share a poem from Chris Tse in his anthology, How to be Dead in a Year of Snakes.

This one is my fav at the moment. I read the whole anthology in one sitting a few years ago and cannot praise it highly enough. [TW: racism, murder] - it discusses racism; murder; the way POC names are reduced to no more than representations of acts of violence done to them; the simultaneous glorification and spectacle of white murderers whose names and lives are remembered in the media for the atrocities they commit, while the voices of those they enact that violence upon are forgotten and buried.

It's so so so well written!! (also really looking forward to getting my hands on his queer anthology, He So Masc, which I haven't read yet, but I'll probably find my next favourite poem in ✨)

20. favorite skincare products?

My skin is super sensitive (she's just like me omg), so I really love things that don't have fragrance, are super hydrating, and work to restore the skin's moisture barrier. KLAIRs as a whole is just *chef's kiss*, I freaking 💖love💖 that brand! But here are some of my personal favs

Cleanser

Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash

Toner

KLAIRs - Supple Preparation Unscented Facial Toner

NEOGEN - Real Ferment Micro Toner

SIMPLE - Micellar Cleansing Water

Serum

THE ORDINARY - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (actual godsend)

KLAIRS - Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Drop (another godsend)

THE PLANT BASE - Quesera Ceramide

NEOGEN - H2 Dermadeca Serum Spray

Moisturiser

SIMPLE - Hydrating Light Moisturiser w Vit B5+E

MISSHA - Super Aqua Cell Renew Essential Moisturiser (WHY is it so expensive though 😭)

KLAIRS - Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask (love love love)

Sunscreen

NEUTROGENA - Ultra Sheer Face Lotion SPF50+

I'm still looking for a good sunscreen tbh, the sun is brutal in NZ and I'm white, so... 😬 lmao

25. what inspires you?

omg, everything and anything!! I'm taking this in a "what inspires you in terms of your art/writing" kind of way - most recently, music is inspiring me tons, especially watching the MVs for DPR Ian's songs. He is such a talented artist, and the way he explores mental health through the visual imagery in his self-directed videos is just on another level of artistry. Dude is so cool. Everything he creates is so vulnerable and real while being so pretty, I love it!

i have finally perfected my skin care routine for my disgustingly dry skin. double dose of biotin, then niacinamide + snail goo + layer of argan oil + layer of coconut oil overnight. arrowroot powder in my hair so you can't tell i slept covered in an inch of oil and mucus

the skincare industry is so weird and bad like all of this is just single ingredient stuff (apart from the snail goo which is 99% goo plus some additives that i assume are preservatives). i have tried at least 20 diff fancy/expensive moisturizers through an ipsy subscription and only one of them worked at all and most dried my skin further

🌿 Natural Glow: Clinique’s Brightening Essentials✨

🚫 No More Spots: Your Path to Clearer Skin🌟🌟

Dark spots, also known as hyperpigmentation, can be a source of frustration for many individuals, affecting confidence and self-esteem. Fortunately, Clinique, a pioneer in skincare innovation, offers a range of products specifically designed to target and diminish the appearance of dark spots. In this comprehensive guide, we explore Clinique’s dark spot solutions, providing expert insights, effective treatments, and home remedies for achieving a luminous, even-toned complexion.

Clinique Expert Tip: Dark Spot Removal Use a dark spot corrector, such as Clinique’s Even Better Clinical Radical Dark Spot Corrector + Interrupter, twice daily to target stubborn discoloration and promote skin renewal. Apply sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection daily to prevent further darkening of existing spots and protect against future sun damage. Incorporate gentle exfoliation into your skincare routine to remove dead skin cells and encourage cell turnover, allowing dark spots to fade more quickly. Maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress levels, as these factors can impact skin health and contribute to dark spot formation. Consider incorporating brightening ingredients, such as vitamin C and niacinamide, into your skincare routine to help lighten dark spots and improve overall skin tone.

Home Remedies for Dark Spots: While Clinique’s products work wonders, consider complementing them with natural remedies: 🍋Lemon Juice: Apply fresh lemon juice to dark spots using a cotton pad and leave on for 10–15 minutes before rinsing off. Lemon juice contains natural acids that help lighten hyperpigmentation and brighten the skin. 🍎🍺Apple Cider Vinegar: Dilute apple cider vinegar with water and apply to dark spots using a cotton pad. Apple cider vinegar helps exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover, reducing the appearance of dark spots over time. 🍯Honey: Massage raw honey onto dark spots and leave on for 20–30 minutes before rinsing off. Honey is known for its moisturizing and antibacterial properties, making it an effective natural remedy for dark spots. 🌿Aloe Vera: Extract fresh gel from an aloe leaf and apply it to dark spots.

Say hello to a luminous, spot-free complexion with Clinique. 🌟😊 #CliniqueSkincare #HealthySkin #DermatologistApproved. #CliniqueDarkSpots #ClearSkin #SkincareRoutine #DarkSpotRemoval

I did go to Sephora yesterday and the Internet wasn't lying or over exaggerating! I saw, in fact, MULTIPLE 8-12 year olds shopping there. although a lot/most of the actually youngest ones had parents trailing them.

specifically please pour one out for one dad trailing his preteen girls lmao. That man had the ultimate dad (or parent) expression that combined resigned exhaustion with supportiveness and searching bewilderment hoping for solidarity among adults. Or possibly rescue

.

Anyways one of them darted in front of me to reach/snatch at something she wanted because she was too nervous to say "excuse me," although I had already noticed her telling her mom what product she was looking for and was actively already stepping aside when she zoomed in to do this! I was making space and she literally was too excited to just wait three more seconds.

I mostly found the darting funny because she was clearly just afraid to talk to another person who wasn't her mom (nervous hand clasping, whispering to her mom's ear, hesitant hover back), but also like sweetie, your mom SHOULD encourage you to not snatch things or reach over people and say out loud "excuse me," even if it IS scary. I pre-emptively moved over when I saw what she was saying, she was just faster lol.

I will think on how to gently help them with this next time. I probably could've said something like "hey, it's okay to say excuse me so I can move over more for you! We can both look!"

This little girl DID open the box of what she was looking at which?? Why did her mom not tell her not to do that?? But she didn't unseal product.

Also this is what she wanted:

For anyone fascinated/horrified by the phenomenon of pre-teen girls being sold absurd skincare standards by TikTok, but who doesn't know much about the products involved:

This is a watermelon glow face serum. Serum is basically liquidy topical skincare products. They're often used for a more concentrated delivery of an active ingredient in your skincare. A little can go a long way.

In this case, the serum is boosting in order: (1) niacinamide, which is a type of vitamin B3 that helps your skin build keratin (for firmness), and the natural lipid barrier which helps you retain moisture. It can also help with inflammation/redness/coloration (acne, eczema, hyperpigmentation). (2) literal watermelon extract which idk says it delivers amino acids and hydration in the marketing. It's probably harmless. It's a good add for marketing, Glow recipe does fruit themed products. And (3) hyaluronic acid which could sound scary but is just a humectant that helps prepare skin to receive moisture, like in your moisturizer. (Fair warning: a straight hyaluronic acid serum is not enough on its own if your skin is super dehydrated. It will make your skin go all shriveled if you don't add moisturizer and you were super dry to start with. Ask me how I know)

Basically this angel faced & clear skinned child absolutely did not need anything to help acne or redness, but in this case it's a harmless product that will also help her skin stay moisturized in winter. It's pricey for what it is, but it's not meant for mature skin only thankfully. Basically if I had to choose something from Glow Recipe (which has cute, colorful bottles and fun fruit themes) for a little kiddo, this lands in the harmless to their skin pile.

She got the mini size which is $20

Her skin absolutely doesn't need this product. This is about marketing performative femininity and anti-aging towards girls and women. From an "everyone has skin to care for," perspective, "watermelon pink juice moisturizer" by the same brand is more relevant. Or the blueberry cleanser.

(most of the actual teenagers said things like "excuse me" if they needed to pass by and weren't rude to me at all. Like actual teenagers sans guardians and I had lots of normal sorry, excuse me, go ahead interactions between us. They're NOT all aggressive and rude.)

Idk idk I have such mixed feelings. I know I cared about the onset of acne at 11, 12... I hated the feeling of breaking out, not even just from a social perspective but like, the sensory feeling it produces in your skin. I pick at it even when I shouldn't. I still hate it! But to have that anxiety compounded a bajillion times by social media would've sucked.

To quickly note, I received this for free from Picky and numbuz:n in exchange for my honest review.

This product contains 50 ml (1.69 oz) and is fragrance-free.

This sunscreen has a very lightweight, hydrating lotion texture and is tinted green.

It blends out very easily and feels like nothing.

It leaves skin very smooth and not tacky or sticky as it dries down, which it does very quickly.

There is no flashback, it's very invisible and you can't detect any white residue on the skin.

It also wears very well and layers well, I was out in the sun for most of the day and did reapply every few hours or so.

It also wears very well under makeup, no pilling up or shifting of the makeup.

Recommended use is to take an appropriate amount and apply it evenly onto the skin. It's designed for sensitive skin, non-comedogenic, oxybenzone-free, octinoxate-free and fragrance-free. After using, this sunscreen is really impressive. The packaging is great in that the applicator is very controlled and keeps it from distributing too much product. The sunscreen itself is very gentle, soothing, hydrating and lightweight. It doesn't pill or bunch up or leave any kind of white cast. It's a great moisturizer on its own but it layers over other skincare very well. The ingredients are very sensitive skin friendly and there are no irritants, or fragrances (artificial or otherwise) and it has strong and effective UV filters. It's also very safe around the eyelids and eyes, I didn't notice any irritation in that area or any kind of tingling. The protection is long-lasting and it keeps your skin even toned, even after being out in the sun for a while. Some aspects are water resistant but this product is not marketed as such so this wouldn't be safe against sweat either. I'd recommend this to anyone, especially to people who need a gentle formula.

What I like: this sunscreen is so hydrating and plays well with other products. It doesn't pill or bunch up or leave a white cast and there's no fragrance. It's got great ingredients minus any irritants and it's very hydrating and makes a great moisturizer on its own. It's also safe around the eyes and doesn't cause any irritation. What I don't like: honestly, nothing, it's a great product.

Pros:

Hydrating

Gentle

Soothing

Fragrance-free

Sensitive skin friendly

No white cast

Wears well under makeup

No irritants

Moisturizing

Cons:

None

Would I buy this?

Yes

Rating: 10/10
