If only I’d done THIS in my 20s…

Looking back at my 20s, I cringe at some of the skincare choices I made (hi, toothpaste on spots 👋). Now in my 30s, I’ve learned that it’s all about being gentle, consistent, and protecting your skin barrier. SPF daily, moisturiser even if you’re oily, and never over-exfoliating are the rules that actually make a difference.

✨ Bonus: don’t get caught up in hype — invest in ingredients like peptides, ceramides, and niacinamide that actually work.

💬 What’s the skincare rule you wish you’d learned earlier?
