aka how I trick my skin into acting like I drink 8 glasses of water and mind my business 💅

1. Double cleanse even if you didn’t wear makeup. Dirt and stress cling too.

2. Apply skincare to damp skin — it absorbs better, like a sponge not a brick.

3. Satin pillowcases. Cotton who? Satin keeps your skin smooth and unbothered.

4. SPF. Even. Indoors. Yes the sun still finds you through your window.

5. Green tea ice cubes = de-puffing magic. Just glide them on a tired face.

6. Slugging with Vaseline at night? A little goes a long way. Hydration heaven.

7. Exfoliate gently, not angrily. Your face isn’t mad at you, don’t scrub like it is.

8. Hydrating toners > astringent toners. You’re not in a 2007 Clean & Clear commercial.

9. Eye cream on smile lines, too. Why not? They’re just little baby wrinkles.

10. Use a separate towel for your face. Because bacteria is sneaky.

11. Don’t skip moisturizer if you’re oily. Oily ≠ hydrated.

12. Clean your phone screen. You’re basically pressing a dirty mirror to your cheek.

13. Weekly sheet masks while romanticizing your life = self-care & skin-care.

14. Niacinamide + hyaluronic acid = glass skin cocktail.

15. Steam your face over a bowl of hot water once in a while, add herbs if you’re fancy.

16. Don’t forget neck & chest. Your skincare shouldn’t stop at your jawline.

17. Use cold spoons on puffy eyes. It’s giving spa day on a broke baddie budget.

18. Patch test new products. We’re too old for surprise face rashes.

19. Retinol = slow & steady. Start once a week, then build up. No chemical burns here.

20. Consistency > perfection. One lazy night won’t ruin you. Just keep showing up for your skin 💗
