On this Monday evening, I’m sharing a real-time skincare and body care reset—because even though I’ve been doing a lot of hydration lately, my face was telling me it needed exfoliation too. I start by exfoliating (face + body) and then I go in with my toners and serums: an AHA toner, a hyaluronic acid toner with witch hazel and rose water, then a glycolic + lactic acid serum layered with a hyaluronic acid serum. I also add a dark spot correcting glow serum, and I finish my face with an intense cream. When I notice redness (especially around my nose and later my jaw), I keep it simple and reach for my calming serum to help soothe it. For my body, I’m using a mix of products depending on the area—torso/back, legs, and arms/upper shoulders all get a slightly different combo for extra hydration. Since Arizona dryness is real, I’ll even mist water back onto areas that dry too fast while I’m working. I also use an oil selectively (mine is almost gone) for the spots that need that extra seal. The takeaway: listen to your skin, hydrate intentionally, and if irritation pops up, slow down and calm it down—small amounts go a long way. I also give a quick update on my Thanksgiving burn healing, and it’s doing well.
