my #empties this year

2025/12/19 Edited to

... Read moreOver the past year, running through various skincare and beauty products has been an eye-opener in understanding what truly works for different skin concerns, especially when it comes to pores and hydration. One standout product has been the Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil, praised for its pore-refining abilities and gentle formulation, which helped reduce blackheads and whiteheads without stripping the skin. Being dermatologist-tested and fragrance-free, it also suited sensitive skin types well. La Roche-Posay’s Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Cleansing Oil has also been a favorite, notable for its ability to provide up to 24-hour hydration starting in the shower. This product is ideal for those with dry to extra dry skin, including the delicate skin of babies and adults. The prebiotic thermal water infused in La Roche-Posay products supports maintaining the skin’s natural barrier, which is crucial for overall skin health. In terms of makeup, the e.l.f. No Budge Retractable Eyeliner offers excellent value and long-lasting wear. Though prices have increased slightly yearly, the creamy and smudge-resistant formula continues to win high ratings for everyday use. Additionally, taking care of health supplements like Nature’s Bounty Plant-Based Omega-3 from algae oil ensures skin and heart health benefits from the inside out. Supplementing skincare with omega-3s supports the skin’s barrier function and can reduce inflammation. It's always important to balance between budget and effectiveness, and among these empties, the common theme is products that deliver on their claims without harsh additives. Keep an eye on pore control oils, gentle cleansing options for sensitive skin, and versatile makeup products offering reliability. Sharing these empties reviews helps others make informed decisions and discover bang-for-the-buck products that maintain healthy, glowing skin throughout the year.

Clean my skincare empty out so I can ship it to my buyer! There was a lot more product left in the container than I thought, I made sure to use what was left. Now that the container is clean and packed, I’m good to ship it off when the post office opens Monday 😊 #skincare #preppy #dr

Four body care products are held by hands, illustrating 'empties' and their 'replacements.' Two are body washes, one is a rollerball tonic, and one is a dropper serum.
A light blue body wash bottle is held, with text highlighting its cooling, odor-neutralizing, and cleansing properties, and its refreshing feel.
A purple body wash bottle is held, with gel product in a hand, and text describing its moisture-boosting, dryness-reducing, and skin barrier-supporting benefits.
