PROJECT PAN: January 2025

In January 2025, I embarked on an exciting Project Pan challenge, focusing on minimizing product waste while maximizing my beauty routine's effectiveness. The journey involved evaluating a variety of products, including popular brands like La Roche-Posay, Murad, and others. During this month, I aimed to finish up products that had been in my collection for too long. Some highlights included the La Roche-Posay Hydrating Purifying Foaming Cleanser, a staple for normal to oily skin, which offered excellent hydration without stripping the skin. I also tackled different cleansers and moisturizers, weighing their performance and worth versus their price points. A standout catch was the e.l.f. Good Molecules Cleansing Balm, known for its gentle formulation with shea butter and avocado oil, which left my skin feeling refreshed and nourished. Additionally, I experimented with different masks like the GlamGlow mask, which, although well-known for its aesthetic appeal, didn't quite deliver the results I expected. I also explored some fun products, including unique items like Lush's Tingle Shower Jelly, which offered a distinctive sensory experience in my routine. Overall, tracking and analyzing these products gave me valuable insights into what works best for my skin type and preferences, which I hope to share with fellow beauty enthusiasts looking to refine their routines.
