My Skincare Diary: 20K, DIY & Tretinoin Updates, Mask Lemmings, and Samples

My blog hit 20,000 views today!  Which I know is small potatoes, or even just a daily goal for some people, but this is super exciting for me, so thank you to everyone for checking it out and even more so for those who subscribe and come back regularly!

Only edit was cropping and brighten/contrast.  BTW, I don't use Photoshop.  I edit all these things on my phone, because I'm gangsta'.

That isn't that clear...ENHANCE!

My Skincare Diary: Tretinoin, Foot Masks, DIY Vitamin C, and the Korean Beauty Routine

(You guys, I was so tempted to call this My Beauty Diary, but I think I'd get in trouble.)

Yes, I succumbed.  I've been wanting to try a retinol, and was looking at some schmancy options, as well as some DIY options, ...then I had an appointment with my derm for a mole check (everything's great!), and I ended up with this.  Plus, it's covered by my insurance, vs. $50+ for an OTC one.  I've been on it for almost three weeks now, and after some shuffling of my routine, and some burny-ow-bad!idea moments, I think I've got it pretty figured out.  It's a pain, because you have to wait 30 minutes after you cleanse, so my face is starving for some hydration, and then wait another 30 minutes before proceeding with your routine.  This is a one hour commitment!
