Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub: weekly physical exfoliation; kinda pricey and not any better than a homemade version with brown sugar and honey/olive oil

Hada Labo Gokujyun Lotion: Japanese hydrating toner with hyaluronic acid as its star ingredient; I put it on my lips as well as my face; make sure to spray water before/after to create a reservoir of water for this humectant to pull water from (if not it will use your lips itself as its reservoir and suck moisture out)

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask: moisturizes lips and enriched with antioxidants; personally didn’t feel like it was worth the price/hype but it does its job

If you’re like me (and many other The Ordinary fans), then you’re tired of TO’s dropper style bottles. 

Luckily, they can be easily swapped out for a pump top, which NIOD (their sister company) sells all on the same website.  So if you’re just a few dollars shy of their $25 to free shipping, then I highly recommend adding this lifesaver to your cart and giving it a try.

Some reasons I recommend the switch:

1)The process of using the dropper top for application leaves the open bottle vulnerable to knocking it over, causing spilling and or breakage (I’m looking at you in particular shattered rosehip oil bottle from a couple of months ago).  A pump bottle on the other hand would avoid this problem altogether by having the bottle in your hand as you transfer it to your fingers.

2) You may accidentally touch the tip of the dropper when applying the liquid to either your hand or your face, potentially contaminating the rest of the bottle when you return the dropper.

3) Switching from bottle to bottle is easier when you don’t have to unscrew and screw with each and every product application.

Let’s talk skincare secrets... the kind hiding in your kitchen. 🥄 You’ve been eating bananas forever — but did you know the banana peel you toss could be your next skincare hero?

Sounds wild? Science (and glowing skin) say otherwise. 🍌💁‍♀️

💛 What’s Hiding in That Yellow Peel?

Banana peels are packed with:

Antioxidants 🛡️ (fight free radicals)

Vitamins C & E 🌿 (boost glow)

Zinc & Potassium ✨ (soothe inflammation)

Natural Moisturizers 💧 (keep skin soft + hydrated)

🧴 DIY Banana Peel Glow-Up

Here’s how to get started:

Eat the banana 🍌 (obviously).

Take the inside of the peel and gently rub it on clean skin.

Let it sit for 10–15 mins.

Rinse with warm water. Repeat 2–3x a week and watch your skin say “thank you”.
