skin: combo-dry, acne-prone. sleep-deprived, drinks milk tea, looks dull, dark circles and bags.
usual stack
am: hydrating mist + L’Oréal Double-Anti serum + ruby lotion + sunscreen
pm: ruby water + lotion + Double-Anti eye cream + Dr.Alva cream
(if I was up late and have to wear makeup the next day, I swap the cream for a ruby sheet mask)
clogged pores: once a week salicylic acid + Kiehl’s rare earth mask + ruby mask + La Roche-Posay B5 cream
how it actually feels
ruby water + lotion — anti-aging that doesn’t pick a fight with acne. almost empty. face looks fuller and a bit brighter. thin, sinks in fast, moisture is fine. repurchase.
ruby sheet mask — the “I didn’t sleep and I have to film tomorrow” mask. face looks less collapsed, a little tighter, makeup sits better.
Rellet mist — cheap and huge. fine, even spray. one pass before I leave. basic water. that’s all it needs to be.
Double-Anti serum — roommate made me buy it. the dull yellow actually lifts. people say C in the morning / retinoid at night works better. thinking about adding the ruby serum next.
