**Skin Profile:** Oily but very dehydrated prone with eczema. Prone to CCs and PIH.
**Skintone:** Medium Warm Olive.
**Climate:** Hot & Humid (Tropical Southeast Asia).
At the start of the year, I had hoped to have fun in trying out new products under product categories that wouldn’t necessarily hurt my already sensitive skin. But as I do that, it made skincare feel less fulfilling when the new products I tried ended up performing horrible compared to my initial non-AB HGs. Plus, wasting money and leaving products to waste have always given me the ick; I’d really like to stop that. So by the end of the year, I’ve concluded to only try out new products for categories that are still HG-less. However, as I looked back at my previous end of year product review posts, I realized that the number of products I purchased have increased significantly every single year T-T. It seems I truly cannot go on a success no-buy. You may swipe to the left to see photos of products I’ve used from previous years (Link: 2021, 2022, 2023).
