[Misc] I wrote a comprehensive, newbie friendly skincare guide with everything I know about skincare in it (turns out that's a lot!)

Beauty Tips For Body Care
My friends keep asking me for skincare advice and I wanted to stop typing out the same things over and over again, so I decided to produce a skincare guide. It. Took. Hours. Way longer than I was expecting it to! I asked the mods for permission to post it here, so... ta da!https://www.notion.so/Tansy-s-Skincare-Guide-c8164e0bfbbc470c914ab4458f458b2aI hope it helps someone. It starts with the absolute 100% basics and explains all the stuff I wish I'd known when I first started reading about skincare. I even did stuff like define a cleansing balm, because I remember being very very confused about all these odd words when I started learning.Quick summary of what happens in it:Home - basic principles, structure of skinDeveloping a routine - the structure of a routine, how to develop a routine, reading an ingredients list, types of product, which order products go in your routine, when to do routineCleansing - how often to cleanse, types of cleanser, how to select a water based cleanser, double and triple cleansing, cleansing techniques and tools, product recommendationsMoisturising - how moisturisers work, types of moisturiser, when to moisturise, ingredients to look for in moisturisers, selecting a facial oil & oils to look for, how to select and use sunscreen, product recommendationsTreatment (serums &c) - structure of treatment stage, types of serum, selecting and using serums, suggestions for different skin conditions, ingredients to look for in serums, deep dive on exfoliating acids, vitamin A, and vitamin C, acne and how to treat it, example routines for different skin conditions, product recommendations"Beyond your face" - caring for skin on your body, hands, feet, etcMiscellany - the "skincare wardrobe", Asian beauty, skincare and mindfulness, resources (including this sub!)Although it's fairly comprehensive, it doesn't cover everything - there isn't a detailed discussion of tretinoin, for example, or more than a passing mention of physical exfoliation. That's because it's basically everything *I* know, and I'm not interested in tret or physical exfoliation. :PIf you have any feedback - stuff I got wrong, stuff I got right, questions (why did I select those emojis), etc - I'd really love to hear it!
