Before it's on a stack for review, it's...

You know that buying mentality of 'See It, Want It, Buy It'? I am guilty of being that person with more skincare than I could ever use. There was a point where I assembled an imbalance of product types and over time I forgot why I wanted some in the first place. So to save on storage and dare I say be more conscious (some would say sustainable) I'm trying to steer clear of stockpiling with the list of all the things I want to buy and try.  So that when I have money or need to replace I will have something already in mind. Not to mention, I only have one face, body, head of hair... 

Products either $, $$ or $$$.

Currently, my skin is in Fuego, which roughly translates to 'Not liking me or anything I put on it' which is not a nice place to be. So whilst I am on a minimalist regime I can only dream of all the wonderous things I can use in the future.

I like the idea of using single-use Vitamin C. There's a lot of talk about how active actives stay when they are in bottles, exposed to heat and sunlight, so I like that these Oskia capsules though a bit pricey will be worth every penny.

I go in and out with Facial Oils. I need to find a dry oil type which nourishes and works well with my skin. I have heard good things about Marula Oil, being rich in antioxidants, amino acids and fatty acids.

Regardless of skin condition, SPF is a non-negotiable. It's probably the product I have tons of, trying to find the best one for my skin and season. I like the idea of a serum sunscreen, with the idea that it's not too thick and plays well with other products. Not to mention SPF 50 is the way to go.
