My skincare routine comes down to washing my face when I shower and applying a (cheap) moisturizer in the morning.
Needless to say, I’m no skincare influencer.
Maybe that’s why I’m fascinated by people posting their own elaborate regimens, especially the ones they do during flights. Something about going through all the trouble of putting on a full face mask and applying multiple products seems weird to me, especially at 35,000 feet, far from the comfort of your mirror at home.
And it turns out the true skincare enthusiasts might be doing it wrong anyway.
