I’m a gal who likes to put a lot of things on my face. I like makeup, masks, exfoliators, hydrating packs, and a whole slew of moisturizers. But I had never tried a peel. Now, I’ve done peel off masks; those are old hat to me. But an actual peel sounds abrasive and excessive. But, I received one in a beauty box sometime last year, and finally got around to trying it this year.
I’ve been pretty big into skincare for a couple of years now, but COVID has definitely been an up-and-down time for skincare for me. I haven’t been going out, which means I haven’t been wearing makeup as often, which means that I haven’t been washing my face as often as I should. I’m pretty good about it in the morning, but by evening I’ve been getting lazy and just ignoring my face. Needless to say, my skin wasn’t doing very well.
I’m writing this in the midst of COVID-19, hoping that the future is better. But what better time than now to look through all of those masks that you’ve only used half of?
I may have an addiction to bath and beauty products. When creators add fandom into the mix, my knees get weak and I succumb. When I saw a booth full of bath and shower products at Leaky Con in Boston earlier this year, I knew something from it was coming home with me.
No one asked for this, but I feel like it’s well worth sharing. I think that routine is so helpful; I know what I’m doing every day and that makes things a little bit easier for me. Big shout out to anxiety and depression, of course, because they make routine a bit of a necessity!
Of course, it isn’t exclusively for after NYCC, or any con at all. You can follow my routine whenever you feel like your skin needs a little extra TLC.
