The one major blessing with quarantine is having the opportunity to get through my skincare stash. I have extremely finicky skin. It is pretty dry, can be sensitive to products, and sometimes just breaks out randomly. When I find things that work I stick to them, despite the fact I am a compulsive shopper and buy tons of products that sounds intriguing. Most of the time they end up collecting dust because I am too afraid to use them. In every day life when I am going out and have things to do and people to see, I just don’t have time to go through a break out period. Now that I don’t really have to worry about that I can finally test out the products in my stash, and see if I can get my skin to be BETTER than just “stable”. My routine up till now has been the bare minimum but I want that glow, I want to prevent aging, I want to tighten my pores, get rid of scarring etc. Now is the time! 

The first line of products I went through was from Too Cool For School. I remember a few years ago their egg cream line was really trending. When I first bought this, I tried the hydrating mask – broke out. Not necessarily because of the mask, as my skin was definitely in worse shape back then, but it definitely prevented me from trying out the rest of what I bought. I gave it another chance recently and had some pretty good results.
