#lumene

My Advent calendar this year, from Lumene. I'm so happy to have a bit of Finland everyday. I miss it dearly.

I was an extra large pepperoni pizza face back in April, and even though I was consistent with my skincare recovery routine, I wasn’t expecting my skin to recover and clear up so quickly but I am happy that it did.

i’ve been working RLY hard to figure out a realistic and useful skincare routine and i think i have…at least for now. yes, it’s a lot of steps/products but it’s 100% worth it, okay?! might swap out the cosrx BHA for the glossier exfoliator that’s about to be released. we’ll see! anyway, for now:
