chapter 13: skincare routine

skincare is important.
i have skin.
so i care.

it’s that simple.

people always ask, “cake, what’s your skincare routine?”

first of all, stop asking me questions.
second of all, i’m glad you asked.

step 1: identify your skin type.

there are many types:

my skin is unique.
it reacts to things.
sometimes positively. sometimes emotionally.

step 2: wash your face.

i use water.
sometimes with soap.
depends on how serious i am about my future.

people say “don’t use soap on your face.”
these people clearly don’t believe in risk. if it's risky, it's an investment. and i am all about diversification, baby!

step 3: products.

this is where things get expensive.

i have:

confidence is the most important one.

i apply products in layers.
more layers = more results. basic math.

step 4: hydration.

drink water.
or don’t.

i prefer external hydration.
why drink water when you can just… put it on your face?

very efficient. very sustainable. very water-cycle-friendly.

step 5: consistency.

do it every day.
or once a week.
or whenever you remember you have a face.

consistency is key.
i lose my keys a lot.

people say skincare is about discipline.
i say it’s about vibes.

some days you glow.
some days you reflect light aggressively.
science.

i once saw a video that said:

“your skin is a reflection of your inner health.”

which explains a lot.
and also explains nothing. i thought reflections and mirrors went together, not skin!

in conclusion:

  1. skincare is important.
  2. if your skin looks good, you win.
  3. everything has value if you look at it correctly.

everything is a phase. and some phases are more monetisable than others.
