'As it turned out, chatting with my friend while doing something mindless and kind for myself felt really good'
Photo: Courtesy of the vendors I’m no stranger to beauty mishaps — I once ripped half of my eyelashes out with a drugstore lash curler. After such an incident, it’s easy to take to the internet to look for advice. The trouble is, there is simply too much out there. Which is why, when I have a beauty dilemma, I prefer to go to trusted friends — people who’ve been there before, know their stuff, and can give me helpful, tailored advice.
First of all, you’re not alone — I too have been picking a lot since I started self-isolating . And to be honest, during the first week I spent inside, I didn’t give much thought to my skin at all, even though it was looking particularly dehydrated Having said that, my friend, the aesthetician Sofie Pavitt, convinced me to hop on Instagram Live with her a couple of days ago for a guided, at-home facial.
$32 at Sephora Buy Exfoliate Purito ABP Triple Synergy Liquid $22 now 18% off $18 This chemical exfoliant from Purito is really great, gentle yet effective, and relatively affordable. It’s a blend of AHAs , BHAs , and PHAs . This blend means it targets all different kinds of skin issues — it’ll buff away dead skin cells, brighten up your complexion, and unclog your pores — but also isn’t too aggressive or irritating on the skin.
$35 at YesStyle Buy 23 Years Old Cocoon Willow Silky Mask $16 for 3 If I haven’t picked a ton, I’ll go with a sheet mask. If I have these on hand, they’re always my go-to. I’ve written about this mask many a time, because they not only fit the face well and feel more luxurious than most, they also deliver wonderfully hydrating, plumping, and illuminating ingredients — like niacinamide, ginger, and licorice root — to your skin. The best.
