Hey friends,
It’s been a fun little mix of DIY and self-care over here lately. I’ve been walking everyone through the behind-the-scenes of my guest bathroom tub-to-shower makeover on stories, and I cannot wait to share the final reveal soon. The project is fully done but I’m loving taking you through the step-by-step, especially the shower area which turned out better than I imagined.
On the completely opposite end of the spectrum, I’ve also been deep in my skincare era. I am loosely following the Mixon Method and it’s been such a game changer. Basically it’s all about flooding your skin with hydration and I’ve got five different toners in rotation right now. My routine starts with a double cleanse, then toners from lightest to thickest, then a serum (I’m using Rejuran), retinol a few nights a week, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning. I also exfoliate with the Dermathod peel pads once a week.
It sounds like a lot but honestly my skin is loving it, and I’ve managed to avoid Botox almost 37 years in… so I’m counting it as a win. For reference, I have sensitive, acne prone skin with enlarged pores.
If I had to recommend only 3 things from my skincare routine it would be the ones I have added below.
Are there any other skincare geeks out there?!
Talk soon,
Fariha
