If you told me I could only have one fancy skincare product it would be this one. Have you tried putting on moisturizer while your skin is super dry? Yeah it sucks. Not only does this toner have tons of Vitamin B and antioxidants, it preps your skin for moisturizer, allowing it to actually soak into your skin, instead of laying on the surface. This is one of those products where if I stop using it, there is a noticeable difference in the texture of my skin. I’m biased towards Aēsop (which you can hear more about on my first podcast episode hehe), but they truly make lovely products!

I've been thinking of getting into Aesop, but the price is kinda steep for me... do you think the cleanser is worth it????

Hi! So I worked at Aesop for 2.5 years in Australia where the brand is from.
In complete honesty I would not recommend Aesop as a starting place to build your skincare routine.
The skincare range has a lot of essential oils, that unless your skin is quite robust, can be irritants to the skin. I am of the opinion that there are other brands that are more effective and well priced to get your skincare from.
If you are going to buy from Aesop, I would highly recommend their home, fragrance and body care ranges.
Some skincare brands at a similar price point with more effective products are: - Dr.Dennis Gross - Elemis - Emma Lewisham - Moon Juice

I currently use B.O.B, it's a Brazillian brand specialized in haircare in bars, and I know they ship to the US and UK. They are a bit on the more expensive side, but I signup to their email newsletter and usually they have pretty good discounts. I haven't been dissapointed, and they last quite long, but it's important to keep them somewhere that does not accumulate water.

🚿I can't vouch for their advanced climate control line personally (I use their vitacurl conditioner and gel which works very well for me) but it's easily their most popular line so that might be worth checking out for you. Ouidad's pretty pricey ngl but they do online sales pretty frequently.

📚This is the best subscription I’ve ever had. For $15 a month, you get a new independent magazine sent to you. Think Apartamento, Cereal, and Racquet. Some fancy indie mags can cost way more than $15, so this is a good deal, too! It’s a great way to discover new magz, and I love that you get a handpicked lil surprise (they don’t tell you what’s coming!) at the end of each month.

👔Button up? Button down? You can find a big white button up at any thrift store (check for stains, though) or I also like this one from Entireworld. I love a good collared shirt, and a white button up is both ~chill~ and ~chic~ and also works for like any temperature. I know you all have one laying around from your embarrassing Risky Business or Mia Wallace Halloween costumes from college.

📷If you’re a thriftier person than I am, you can find some gems for much cheaper at a thrift store (the only risk is that they don’t work!). I wanted a replacement for disposable cameras, and found this Canon Sure Shot Owl 35mm camera on Depop. It’s super fun and easy to use!
