Asking because the two feel like they should contradict each other but apparently they don’t always.

Like it’s not just the pain of what happened. It’s that you suddenly don’t recognize the life you thought you were living. The version of yourself that trusted that person, that built things with them, that felt safe, she feels like a stranger now. And you’re left trying to figure out who you are on the other side of it. Still in that process honestly. Anyone else know this feeling?

I’ve been on a whole journey with my skin this year and I feel like I’ve finally found a rhythm that works. But you know how it is, once things are good you want them to be even better. What’s the one product you would never give up? Skincare obsessives only. 🩷

For me it’s been the IOPE Bio Essence. It completely changed how my skin absorbs everything else in my routine. Korean skincare unlocked something I didn’t even know my skin was missing.

I feel like every few months something comes along that completely resets how I think about my routine. A product that makes you wonder how your skin survived before it. What was yours and why did it change everything for you?

Mine was the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic. I had been using basic Vitamin C thinking I was doing the right thing and then switched to this and the difference was genuinely embarrassing. The texture of my skin changed within two weeks in a way that nothing else had ever touched. It’s expensive and worth every single penny.
