Mix & Match Millennial Pink Regimens
Hi babes. I know it’s been a hot minute (all minutes feel hot these days tbh, and not necessarily in a good way), but work and personal stuff have been infringing on my skincare time, as they so often do. I wanted to share these two #MillennialPink regimens with you, because #aesthetics, am I right?
This first one was heavy on the brightening products, because I’ve been feeling dull and splotchy lately. Saturday Skin cleanser first, which I like, but I’m still not sure if I want to make a regular product, followed by the Huxley toner, and a super luxurious Polatam Sheet Mask. I actually didn’t need the Lotus essence afterwards, since the sheet mask was so emollient, so I followed up with the Saturday Skin eye cream and The Lotus sleeping mask. This felt like a really good combination of products, but ideally I’d like to get that essence in there too, maybe before the sheet mask?
Then I got a couple new Huxley products focused on brightening, so I figured I’d pair them up with the Saturday Skin products to see if I could level up my overall routine to that truly coordinated Millennial level. I cleansed and toned, and followed those with the Saturday Skin brightening sheet mask, which was more of a bio-gel fabric texture than the Polatam. It was hard to apply at first, but stayed on beautifully and soaked up for the better part of an hour.
Then I slapped on the Huxley brightening essence and cream, which seem to me to be basically two versions of the same product. They both have the same active ingredients, and the essence is more oil-based than I usually prefer, so it just feels like putting the same product on twice. I’m glad I got these on sale—so far I’m relatively underwhelmed by Huxley for the most part, but it might also just not be right for my skin type, either. I’ve been getting breakouts lately, so I need to focus more on exfoliation and pore cleansing than extra moisturization at the moment.
How are you babes adjusting to the all-over-the-place weather these days? It seems like winter just kind of came out of nowhere, so I’ve been experimenting and trying to adjust my regimen accordingly, but sometimes I’m lucky just to get my makeup off before I fall asleep at night. Y’all know how it is.
