the 90-second face routine that actually stuck

"I kept it next to the kettle. Cream while the water boiled. If I missed a morning, I missed it — no guilt, just tea."

tiny routines

🧪

patch test everything

Even 'gentle' products can sting after treatment. Inner arm, 24 hours.

🚿

cool water only

Hot showers feel nice, but tepid water is kinder to a fragile barrier.

📅

one new thing at a time

Introduce products weekly so you know what your skin likes.

sunscreen is non-negotiable

A mineral SPF keeps healing skin safe without extra irritation.
