n sewell's skincare routine

ok ok this concept would not leave my mind so! some products i think N would like/wear! (thanks to @agentnatesewell for always supporting me on this train of thought snshsjhwjs)

like lets just imagine N explaining their skincare process step by step, gently applying their luxury products to the detectives face... the soothing n careful n loving way they would go about it... i'll show myself out now

*(quick disclaimer- the best skincare routine is the one that works for YOU and makes you feel comfortable/happy!! below is like... a very involved example that's entirely for fun/me to infodump sndbsksh and its not by any means the 'necessary' or 'right' process!)*

1. Cleanser!

Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm by Beautycounter- you're supposed to gently massage this onto your face so... N Sewell pls come tenderly stroke ur detective's cheeks to apply 🥺 anyway the lotus extract and jojoba seed oil are rlly good for brightening and nourishing your skin!

2. Toner!

Eau Roma Water by Lush- simple, calm, and soothing; a rose water and lavender blend that leaves your skin feeling soft and refreshed 😌

3. Serum/Oil!

(okay let's think about this... N carefully tapping serum onto the detective's face... giving them a playful boop on the nose... 🥺)

Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil by Biossance- squalane protects your skin barrier while vitamin C gives you a radiant supple glow

4. Eye Cream!

(at this point i would like to invite you to imagine N gently tipping the detective's chin up and very carefully sweeping their thumbs under the detective's eyes)

Superfood Hydrate + Firm Peptide Eye Cream by Youth to the People- kale provides Nutrients while aloe soothes skin, sunflower oil reduces inflammation

(bonus: Bubblewrap by Glossier SPECIFICALLY bc it can also be used on your lips... so like... N running their fingertips over the detective's lips to apply it... and it would be a shame to use more than they have to, right? oh well... guess we should share... 😳 [brief pause for kisses])

5. Moisturizer!

Honey Drop Lightweight Moisturizer by Farmacy- honey nourishes and moisturizes skin, and is also a great antioxidant, while cupuaçu butter beads soften skin

6. Sunscreen!

Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense by Drunk Elephant- vampires... i dont think get sun damage? either way sunscreen is v important! this one is also packed with antioxidants and is gentle enough for sensitive skin

7. Bonus- Cologne/Perfume!

Noire de Mai by Veronique Gabai- "it blooms at noon, full of color, drenched with sun, almost intoxicating if it was not for the breezy air that always refreshes it. but there is always more..." like first of all... N SEWELL. notes include bergamot, rose, pink pepper, and amber. it's a light scent with hints of sharper/darker, "more sensual" undertones for N "delicious, isnt it" Sewell

Cape Heartache by Imaginary Authors- "... the lone American contribution to Philip Sava's wildly popular series of exploration novels... like a scarf, wear the Cape Heartache scent in the fall and winter and observe how people gravitate to your warmth." inspired by a book... 👀 notes include douglas fir, pine resin, and vanilla leaf. it's a natural, woodsy smell but with sweeter middle/base notes for that cosy warmth i associate with N!

Alien by Mugler- "it exudes a positive energy, charged with sensual and intriguing mystery... a sensation- the moment that occurs before a miracle. there is silence, fullness, and an expectancy of the supernatural" idk how to describe it but people wearing this just emit a Vibe that reminds me of N. notes include sambac jasmine, cashmeran wood, and ambergris. it's unusual and surprising in a way that keeps you guessing!
