In this skincare update, I’m basically sharing where I’m at on my dry-to-sensitive skin journey (especially living in Arizona). I went into skincare with minimal knowledge, and honestly… I learned the hard way. My skin was fine before, then I started trying products and ended up damaging my skin, so it’s been a lot of trial and error. I talk about random things I notice like waking up with one swollen under-eye, my dry spots (usually my jaw area and forehead), and even how I’ll document my little pimples and give them “P” names like Patricia, Patty, or Papaya. I also get into what’s worked for me and what hasn’t. I share tips like using droppers on my hand instead of directly on my face, and how I learned to apply the “zombie facial” (mix fast, thin layer, warm cloth removal). Some products were truly helpful during my “reptilian phase” of dryness—like Vaseline and AmLactin—while other stuff (like toners) has felt unnecessary for me so far, and I need to do more research. My biggest takeaway is that skincare is a learning curve, and for me the bare minimum + consistency is what keeps my skin and scalp happiest.
