Musings of the Day: Are You a Skincare Cheater?
Most times we go through life never changing certain things about our existence. For example, chances are you’ve been banking with the very same bank you’ve done business with for the last 10 or more years. There isn’t any reason to change a bank really right? You pick one, you start doing your banking, and chances are you never bother changing it for some other bank….
Alot of tiny things like this fall into out daily routines…heck even skincare sometimes becomes something we rarely change. We pick a brand and most times we stick with it because it’s what works best for us.
Do you mix and match brands?
Or do you stick with one brand and just use everything from the brand…..
Say your skincare is Lancome do you have Lancome Night Cream and Lancome Eye Cream and Lancome Cleanser…etc…etc…
Or are you completely unfaithful to your brand and simply use a night cream from Philosophy and a cleanser from MAC and maybe you throw in a daily moisturizer from Shu.
Question is, are you a skincare cheater?
Jump to see if I’m cheating on my skincare!
Yes, I cheat.
At one time in my life (and hell even on occasion now) I was very meticulous about skincare. For example, I used Lush for most all my skincare needs and I rarely venture away from it. I’ve always found that I wanted to stay true to Lush and never venture into mixing it up with other brands. Prior to Lush, many, many years ago I was a Philosophy girl and again I stuck with that brand only.
For some odd reason I’m under some weird assumption that it’s not a good idea to mix and match brands when it comes to skincare. So if I’m using a cleanser from Lush I had to be using a moisturizer, eye cream, night cream, etc…from them as well. Could be a little OCD in there I’m sure.
In recent years I became an utter skincare cheater.
I throw all sorts of stuff together to get the best results. Lush Gorgeous Moisturizer is my staple and I blame my healthy skin on it but lord knows I do NOT feel the need to stick with Lush for everything anymore so I mix it up and purchase cleansers from various places, eye creams, night creams, etc…my complete skincare regime probably consists of 7 or more brands.
How about you?
Does your skincare have to come from all the same brand?
Or are you ok with cheating?
