I feel very unqualified to give advice, but my routine is:

  1. CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser, daily, in shower
  2. Paula's Choice 2% BHQ Liquid Exfoliant, up to twice a week or during breakouts, after shower
  3. CeraVe Moisturising Cream, daily, after shower

I am still experimenting with sunscreen that I like. I have recently started with Cancer Council Face Day Wear Moisturiser Invisible SPF50+. I like the matte finish but hate the residual odour.

I have noticed that in general fragrance-free products are the best for my skin. I also like Ego QV Sensitive Shampoo (+Conditioner) for scalp health, and have had great results with E45 Itch Recovery Moisturising Wash for calming the rest of the skin, especially in the moist and sweaty parts of the body. If I wash my face a second time in a day I'll use the E45 wash.

I'm no expert, but you definitely should see what happens after you start using retinol.* Your skin will need several weeks to adjust. I don't think it's possible to fully avoid skin flaking and irritation when you first start with it, but applying it after moisturiser like you plan on will definitely slow the absorption.

I swear by this liquid exfoliant for nice dewy skin. I use it more sparingly than the instructions since my cleanser already contains BHA.

Edit: * Before you add more.

Thank you, this is legendary. I suspect there may now be a few of these made by the DT.

I need to organise a fruit platter for Saturday. What would you do? Based in the CBD.

Did them a favour, I reckon.

Did anyone else notice [description of weather]? It makes me feel [extreme emotion].

Exquisitely seasoned.

I did the numbers and I think you break even after about 60L of soda water, if your machine costs $70. After that each L of soda water costs you about 33c. This all provided that the machine doesn't break and you don't buy additional soda bottles.

Does take up bench or cupboard space though.

Actually I'm now wondering if it's partly the bottle collection cost??

Can we talk about how bottled soda water is now $1.20 when it used to be 70c? Even at ALDI.

I didn't realise carbon dioxide and water have become so expensive.
