Timeless 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum

“My routine is constantly evolving, but I think it's pretty close to perfection right now, so I figured I'd share! Concerns: dry and dehydrated skin, low/zero tolerance to tret, dark spots/photodamage, and maturing skin (I'm 38). My skin is also super pale, so I try to add some tan glow whenever possible to make it look healthy.

So the PM products live in a basket hidden under my coffee table, and it's all applied so slowly that each layer has time to absorb. Biggest winners: The Prequel cleansing duo is new to me, but so far I'm obsessed.

I went on a ski trip a couple weeks ago and forgot my milky toner at home, and my face looked like a fucking mess by the time I got home. Brought the milker toner back into the daily rotation, and everything calmed down within a day or two. Magic. Kiehl's Ferulic Brew is amazing because it's gentle, complements the vitamin C really well, and it also hydrates. I've left it, but always return because it's such a perfect first layer in the morning. The Odacité tinted sunscreen is brand new but I'm already a huge fan. The sun protecting credentials are legit, and unlike most tinted sunscreens it actually has pigment, so instead of sunscreen then tinted moisturizer like I used to do, I now do it all in one step. Not only is it easier, but it also looks better on my face than the NARS tinted moisturizer I was using -- it leaves more of a glow, and it has more "perfecting" qualities, without looking like I'm wearing any pigment. No makeup needed. Homemade products ingredients breakdown: Green tea extract: I just brewed a shit ton of loose leaf Japanese sencha with minimal water, and then queezed as much of the liquid out as possible and added some glycerine to it. I heard LED masks work better with a green tea base, so that's what precipitated it. Oil blend: cold-pressed rosehip oil carrier, with un”
