First time mom! Did I pot it correctly?

Hi everyone! I was gifted my first VFT by a friend. I followed the instructions and tried potting them for the first time. Does it look correct?

Any advice or helpful tips for first-timers?? What to expect, etc?

Thank you in advance, this subreddit has been helping me so much in educating myself!

you’re probably overdoing your skincare

Context: did not struggle with problematic skin ( hence this post is not applicable for everyone!!)

I struggled with dryness, dehydration and blackheads/whiteheads

Indian climate isn’t suitable for layering thick creams, imo.

Routine: Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen ( I use stick, chemical and mineral, tinted sunscreen, etc- obviously one at a time) (Blynds, Biore, Elta MD)
Moisturiser- peter thomas roth or belief
Drunk Elephant Retinol🙂
Cleanser: Cetaphil

Thats it… and cicaplast baume once a week for deep moisture lock with vaseline on top for slugging!

Edit: I’m unsure why I’m getting downvoted here because I was genuinely trying to share what worked for me. I’ve updated my list of sunscreen in a comment section below. I was NOT aware of Peter Thomas Roth being in the files and would not be supporting it any longer.
