Does anyone else think that “rose hips” are weird? If roses have hips, do they also have their own version of the Shakira song, because their hips don’t lie? All jokes aside, I had no idea that rose hips were actually used for so many things before I first heard about them on /r/SkincareAddiction. People raved about rose hip seed oil’s benefits for acne-prone skin, so I decided to give The Ordinary Rose Hip Seed Oil a try. It has quickly become one of my favorite go-to…
I mentioned this in yesterday’s post, but I noticed a bit of jawline acne pop up a few months ago. It happened around the same time that I started using The Ordinary 100% Squalane, so I thought that might have been the culprit—but now I realize that it was probably because the double cleansing method was failing to remove all of my physical sunscreen (specifically, Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Sunscreen).
A few weeks ago, I bought this lovely, friendly-looking face mask at a local Japanese supermarket, pretty much on a whim. At the time, I assumed that it was a Japanese brand, but I found out later that it was actually a Taiwanese brand: My Beauty Diary (我的美麗日記). What can I say? Japanese and Chinese written characters look very similar, particularly if you’re not paying close attention.
