8 Years of Skincare, Zero Gimmicks
Been doing this for 8 years — not chasing trends, just trying to keep my skin healthy across Beijing & Shanghai (yes, dry heaters and humid summers both).
T-zone oily, U-zone dry. Barrier-sensitive. Not here for 10-step nonsense.
Over time, I learned:
• Cleansing oil beats everything.
• Skip micellar water & double cleansing. I love my barrier too much.
• Moisture is underrated. Sometimes five layers of toner > one expensive serum.
• Fancy ≠ bad. Sometimes the pricey stuff really does work better.
I’m loyal to just a few:
– Bobbi Brown oil (simple, clean)
– Lumene spray toner (cheap, real hydration)
– La Prairie Night Elixir (if I had to keep just one)
– Zelens face oil (smells awful, works wonders)
– Albion whitening ampoules (rescued me post-sunburn)
– Avene Skin Recovery Cream (for winter crisis mode)
– La Mer lip balm (gross packaging, amazing texture)
I’ve stopped trying new things just for hype. If it doesn’t protect, hydrate, or repair — I don’t need it.
Also: if you’re still rubbing micellar water on your face with a cotton pad every night… girl, we need to talk.
