You can definitely “overdose” on skincare products and I’ll be first to admit I’ve been guilty of doing so on more than one occasion. Because I tend to write about and review beauty products I sample a number of products before recommending them to you guys!! And sometimes I go overboard with my regimen and suffer the side effects. Luckily the skin is a pretty resilient organ and can easily bounce back with a little TLC.

Recognizing that everyone’s skin is different (which is why a regimen should be tailored to your specific needs), I do believe that most individuals need a basic routine of cleansing twice daily, applying a light moisturizer when dry, and protecting with sunscreen. That being said I’ve seen women with flawless skin who do absolutely nothing – they routinely fall asleep in their make up and just rinse their skin with plain tap water. Ohhh the envy! Because I did not win that genetic lottery like Lin’s family. I mean do you guys know how old Lin is even?!

If I tell you…I really think you might pass out!!

Confession time!!

My scalp is a dry flakey mess. I would like to add “in winter” to that statement to make myself feel better about it but that would be a lie. I’m a person who is suffering from embarrassing dandruff!! It’s super sexy with my dark locks and dark clothing too…let me tell you! My hairdresser Kendal swears it is because I am not washing my scalp as well as I should be.

I’m already a fan of Oribe, they can do no wrong in my book, so when I saw they had an anti-dandruff shampoo along with a whole Serene Scalp product range I knew I had to try it!! Clearly the products I have been using our not helping my flaky issues.
