Ah, the gym . A wonderful and, depending on who you are, terrifying place. Gyms are inherently frightening. I remember my first experience. Surrounded by fit and healthy adults who clearly knew what they were doing. I, of course, was visibly lost and in terrible shape. It wasn’t until I realized that absolutely no one cares what anyone else is doing at the gym that I began to feel comfortable. The gym habitat contains a wide range of creatures.

No more turning a blind eye

But you know I've amassed a core group of skincare brands that keep me feeling confident - brands like Drunk Elephant, La Roche-Posay, Sunday Riley, and The Ordinary.
