My Evening Skincare Routine Now That I Am 45
This is the follow-up to my morning skincare routine that I posted a few weeks ago. Since then, the world has become even more unhinged than previously – a considerable feat – making me reconsider all the ways I spend my money. You will see a number of US brands here (The Ordinary, Glossier, Tatcha, Victoria Beckham), but I think my policy going forward will be to try to avoid them if possible. I will not be a fundamentalist about it and I may still want to support some smaller, independent US brands. The rest of the context is covered in the first post, so let’s get to the evening steps.
11 (French) Pharmacy Favourites
What to buy in a pharmacy in Paris seems to be one of the fundamental questions of modern times, something every blogger has to address at some point. Obviously, I swore I’d never do it. But the more I read posts that unfailingly mentioned Bioderma micellar ..

Caudalie Make-Up Removing Cleansing Oil
I don’t often do one product reviews, as it’s not the most exciting of genres, plus I usually don’t test things systematically enough to talk about them in depth. But occasionally, I do get sufficiently excited about something and this has recently happened ..
6 Morning Skincare Steps
If you read the post on my evening skincare routine, this is going to sound familiar. The general logic of how and what I use is the same, but the mornings are a bit lighter on product and somewhat faster. Then again, there is make-up on top of that, so alto..
The ‘Oh, Shit!’ Body Kit
You know those ridiculous articles in women’s magazines that promise you a beach body in 2/3/4 weeks, depending on the general ridiculousness level of the magazine? Aren’t these the worst? They are. When I’ve got a surplus of sarcasm, I like to direct it tow..
9 Things to Clean Your Face
In my evangelical post about the importance of cleansing, I promised a round-up of my cleanser stash. I must admit that looking at the picture above is pretty scary: when the cleansers are all hanging somewhere around the house, doing their thing, there does..
