Earlier this month, I took a hard look at my skincare shelf and realised that some of my once-beloved products — the ones I used to swear by—were no longer there. And no, it’s not because I haven’t repurchased them. The truth is painfully simple: they just stopped working as they once did.
But as I tried to find a common denominator, I only became more confused—there wasn’t a clear pattern as to when it started happening. Some products I’d parted with recently (six months ago, if we’re counting), while others I hadn’t touched in over half a decade. Which made me wonder: had my skin actually changed to the point where it needed a totally new approach? And more importantly, was it possible that my skin type had an unexpected switch-up?
