Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Gel-Crème caught my eye while perusing my local pharmacy in the late summer of 2023.

I may have overestimated my willpower not to buy skincare during the months of November and December. While on a slow skincare routine, I had an “AHA” moment about my skin, my content, life… And, well… It made me lose my cool. For my final skincare haul of 2022, I am adding comments to each…
I am playing catch-up with my posts – my husband and I made a spontaneous trip to Canada to surprise family and friends for the holiday season! I had a bunch of content planned to wrap up 2022 – a Low Buy Year review, my final hauls and empties, Skincare Faves & Fails… Welp, better…
