Yes to both

When I read or write a skincare review, I think it’s important to address how the product actually performs on real skin. That means covering things like: Skin type compatibility (oily, dry, sensitive, etc.) Immediate and long-term results (Does it hydrate? Brighten? Calm irritation?) Texture and scent (Lightweight or greasy? Fragrance-free or strong scent?) Layering with other products (Does it pill or sit well under makeup?) Breakouts or sensitivity (Any reactions, especially for acne-prone or sensitive skin?) I also love when people include before-and-after thoughts or even how the product fits into their daily routine, because it makes the review way more relatable and helpful.

I’m super comfortable trying new skincare products—I actually love it. I pay close attention to how my skin reacts, and I’m always curious about ingredients, textures, and long-term results. Whether it’s a cleanser, serum, or SPF, I take note of things like how it wears under makeup, if it causes breakouts, or how it feels after a full day. I’m honest, observant, and thoughtful with feedback because I know how personal skincare is, and I want to help people find what actually works for them.
