I’ve been sticking to my resolve to use up products as much as I can, without leaving too many half-opened jars and bottles lying around. The only way I know if a product works for my skin, or if I love it, is if I’m able to finish it.
Better yet, I finish it, and yearn for a new bottle or jar! 😀
Here are some of my recent empties, because everyone loves a post about empties 😉

It’s a little funny topic I know, but for the longest time, I’d been a fan of shower gels or liquid body washes. I love trying new ones, and all the lovely scents they come in. In the past, liquid soaps formed a part of my souvenirs from holidays and trips overseas, where I had access to different brands and scents.
We used bar soaps growing up, and I hated them because they’d get mushy quickly, and were awfully drying on skin. They also were heavily scented, and were so strongly scented that people would use them to scent their wardrobes!

So, here’s some products I’ve been using over the past few months, that I’ve really enjoyed using, and that I think are worth trying. They’re skincare products that have been around a while, but I don’t like rushing into trying and telling people about new skincare I’ve tried – you never know if it really works in the short term, and it’s only after long-term use, that you truly decide if it’s a keeper or if it’s not worth trying.
But these 4 products are worth giving them a shot, and here’s why! 🙂

Make a sandwich? Cook a quick meal? Repair and soothe dry skin?
It’s that last one that I’ve found myself needing more now, because dry skin is something that’s beginning to plague me not only on my face, but over the body as well. This more so, on my hands, which are now more exposed to washing, cleaning detergents and sanitizers.
Rosken Skin Repair is a brand not unfamiliar to me. My dad swore by it for healing cracked heels in the past, so when the opportunity arose for me to revisit, I was happy to! 🙂 Here are 3 ways I use it.
