I’m a food-obsessed woman in her late thirties who is also nuts about cosmetics and skincare. I’ve found that a lot of skincare and makeup advice is geared toward the ingenue set, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, at 39, I am well past the fresh-faced ingenue stage in my life. I’m glad you’re reading and I hope you get something out of it.
To help you understand why I use the products and services I use:
Hair
- Black
- shiny
- straight with a hint of wave
- fine and medium-textured with coarse grays sprinkled in
- oily scalp
- rarely heat-styled
Eyes
- Dark brown
- monolidded (no crease in eyelids)
- brows are sparse and grow all over the place
Skin
- So oily it puts the Exxon Valdez to shame
- acne-prone
- yellow undertones
- medium-light skin color
Body
- dry as the Sahara
- Keratosis pilaris (chicken skin)
