I’ll be honest. I was never the girl who cared much about skincare. As long as I took off my make-up at the end of the day and managed a face mask once a month, I considered that a win.
But when lockdown hit I needed something to take my mind off the terror of an unknown virus sweeping the world. A combination of boredom and a crippling fear that my youth was slipping away led me to invest in skincare.
Left with more disposable income than usual (because I wasn’t going anywhere) I dabbled with higher-end, pricier brands like Kiehl’s and Clinique.
