temporarily shelved
I'm getting better at not having too many products open at the same time, but sometimes I still find myself rotating things out of my routine before they're used up. Typically it's because I'm introducing a new product into my routine that has some overlapping ingredients and/or functions with an existing product or because external factors such as seasonal changes make the product temporarily unnecessary or unsuitable.
This shelf is to help keep track of those products so I can make sure to use them up before they go off.
Hydration Serum Verso Skincare
tsmeu rated
I use this for barrier support/repair and for the niacinamide but don't need it currently due to my barrier doing decently well and having other barrier supporting & niacinamide products in my routine at the moment.
Cera Repair Barrier Cream with Ceramides BIOTHERM
Used as a basic moisturizer and for the ceramides, centella and adenosine, but I currently have other products covering these bases in my routine.
Rehydrating Moisture Mask Paula's Choice
A bit too light for a hydrating mask for me in winter, will be rolled back into the routine when the weather gets warmer and air more humid.
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution The Ordinary
My skin is very prone to barrier damage in winter, so this is too strong for me at the moment.
Grape Water Moisturizing Face Mist Caudalie
I need face mists/toners with humectants and preferably some oils too in wintertime, so this is shelved until summer.
Princess Eye Patch Kocostar
Opened this at the same time as another jar of eye patches to test both out, decided to use the other ones up first before these.
Crème Nivea
Normally I'd use this when I have barrier damage during winter and need a super occlusive product to keep any hydration in my skin. Not needed right now, as my barrier is doing ok and I have other thick moisturizers in my routine.
Tea Tree Oil spot stick Australian Bodycare
Used for itchy insect bites in summer
Peppermint Invigorating Foot & Leg Mist The Body Shop
Used in summer after runs or walking a lot
Cold Cream The Seated Queen
I have another thick night mask in my routine which seems to be never ending, so I'm focusing my attention on that one to hopefully finally be done with it.
Global-Repair Intensive Nutri-Restorative Multi-Revitalising Serum Filorga
Started using this while travelling but don't need it in my regular routine at the moment.
Intense Exfoliating Night Gel Elementrē
Deluxe sample that I started using when travelling, I have other exfoliants in my regular routine so this one will need to wait.
R-Retinoate Intense Medik8
Started using this while travelling because my current retinol wouldn't have lasted the entire trip, now using up that one before continuing with this.
