Empties that is.
And that’s just the kind of week it’s been.
I ran out of my prescription retinol and I’ve had it for over a year so that’s how long it lasts even when you use it regularly. I’d say it’s worth it. This is a micro-encapsulated Tretinoin which means that it gets released on your skin in a slower dose rather than a lot hitting it all at once. It’s better if you’re trying to avoid irritation but it’s still very very strong and even after a year of it, my skin can’t tolerate it nightly.
I use a more gentle retinol too, and just finished the Trinny London Overnight Sensation. This is a retinal so it’s a little stronger than other options but still not as strong as prescription.
I also finished my favourite Maybelline foundation, and this is discontinued. I’ll say that drugstore foundation colours have come a long way and it’s nice that I can find a warm golden colour for my skin pretty easily. I’m switching to Fenty for now, but I do have this in a darker colour which is what I use in the summer.
Alterna Scalp serum! I actually used this. I just massage it into my scalp once a day and it didn’t make my hair greasy either. I think the applicators made it super easy to apply and so I reached for it more than the Ordinary one, but I will go back to using The Ordinary one now.
Lastly, the Neem and Tulsi face wash is from the Indian store and the Body Oil is from Chermere Beauty and imported from Trinidad and Tobago. I mixed it with coffee grounds and scrubbed my skin with it weekly and I think you should too.
