As a beauty editor, having a bathroom cabinet (and several boxes hidden in a hallway closet) full of skin care, makeup and hair products isn't out of the ordinary—loving a particular one so much I'm squeezing a tube of moisturizer with all my strength for one last drop is. Almost as a rule, I often bounce around between various skin-care brands and products whenever the mood strikes, but over the last several weeks I've found myself avoiding the switch up, instead savoring every last bit of my current routine.
When I entered my 30s, my skin didn't immediately worsen overnight, but the signs of the times are all there: The subtle shift in texture, elasticity and plumpness, fine lines, dark spots and melasma are more noticeable with each passing year. My skin-care priority is no longer just prevention, but repair and protection, too. Never one to gatekeep, I’m sharing an in-depth look at the recent skin products I've used till empty that keeps my 37-year-old-skin complexion smooth, tight and bright.
