ANTI picking
routine
I start with
exuvience gentle cream cleanser
I found this years ago
when I was hanging out at ULTA
it was at one of the
STATIONS
for removing makeup
TESTER situation
& I was trying lots of stuff that day
so I used it
MULTIPLE times
on my FACE
& then in the next few days
hard little
SEBUMs
lifted out of my face
it's a dermatologist brand
developed by the guys
who pioneered
PHAs
I rub in multiple layers in trouble areas
I let that sit a bit
THEN
I put a BIG dollop of
burt's bees baby multipurpose healing ointment*
*I think the magic ingredient is castor oil
& MASSAGE
& the SEBUMs
ROLL OUT*
*not all of them, but many
& this doesn't cause
DAMAGE
BUT
is VERY satisfying
whenever I'm done with THAT
I wipe that off
SOMETIMES
I leave that be a while
& sometimes I immediately follow with
LOVED 01 cleansing wipes
which are super calming
even though
they have
SALICYLIC acid
& PAPAYA
THEN
I MIST
with undefined beauty
I LOVE this stuff
it's like a light serum
then I make a cocktail
sometimes I use
a little bit of oil
SOMETIMES
NOT
I ALWAYS use
source vital unscented algae extract
which I originally found
when I got a FACIAL
LIKE
two thousand two
& I ALSO use
NANO recipe EGF + FGF serum
in that cocktail
EYE cream
ONEKIND
ultra brightening eye balm
SOMETIMES
I leave it like that a while
SOMETIMES
I immediately follow
with ANOTHER cocktail
EASTSIDE remedies
from Etsy & instagram
have this
CARMOSA propolis salve*
*it's made with propolis from their beehives and tallow from a farm they are partnering with
&
the organic skin co
VITAMIN SEA serum
this serum is one I found on
THRIVE market
it's from new zealand
it had GREAT ingredients
so I ordered it
EXCITEDLY
BUT
it had a sticky
UNPLEASANT
texture
the SKINCARE that is really mainstream
tends to FOCUS on
COSMETIC elegance
I FOCUS on
INGREDIENTS
BUT
I was KINDA turned off
by the extreme sticky
BUT
when I mixed it with the
TALLOW
it was
MAGIC
SO
HOW MANY
STEPS
is that
