Received pictures of the completed pendant. The back is giving me pause. The edge seems much thinner than the cad and I am worried it won’t lay comfortably on my skin. Am I being ridiculous? At first I couldn’t even differentiate where the edge was.
TLDR: oil cleansing recommendations, please!
I’m thinking about adding an oil cleanser to my routine to assist with gentle exfoliation. I’ve used cocokind and boscia in the past. I don’t think I’d use boscia again because it foams (no exfoliation) and I was looking for something more elevated (skin benefits) than cocokind.
I have some hormonal breakouts and closed comedones that I hope go away with continued tret use. I’ve been using for 5 months and mostly using tret for wrinkle prevention/reduction because I’m 39 and it’s happening.
My current routine is:
Evening: wash face 1-2x with cerave foaming cleanser (normal/dry), put 0.05% tret over my face and neck (no waiting to dry), then cover with vanicream. If I have a dry patch I’ll put some aquaphor all over as well.
Mornings: if I’m not washing/wetting my hair, I wash off my face with water. If I’m washing my hair, I wash with cerave foaming cleanser. I put on Tatcha dewy skin cream, then spf 40 Olay complete daily facial moisturizer for sensitive skin. I was using a vitamin c cream but I suck at multi steps so have been skipping - how important is it to add back??
I’d love to hear favorites from the group. Bonus if you have a mild exfoliator I could add to the routine as well (ideally not daily) Thanks!
Edit to add I use 0.05% tret
Is anyone noticing the prices increasing to similar markups in the US? I asked for a quote from several vendors for a gold ring I could buy here for $500. I wanted quotes to have it made with an extra gram of gold to make it a little more substantial. I wanted to see what they suggested the ring weigh so I didn’t specify a weight.
I’m getting quotes for 850-1200 for 4.5-7g of gold. But the kicker is the ring is a size 4.5 for a gold band ring so it would be insane to have it weigh that much. Where are we going for a reasonable markup for reasonable materials? I’d love to hear who you are working with (ideally recently).
