Whether it be my LED mask or a bian stone gua sha, one thing is certain: I’ll be ready for my debut back into the world. Fresh skin and all. 

As the vaccine roll-out continues in the United States, a new event is looming over our shoulders. That is, a re-emergence into society. After being tucked into our homes for over a year, we will soon be trading in our sweats for evening wear. While my medicine cabinets are filled with serums and sunscreens, my drawers have also accumulated an arsenal of beauty tools.

The first reason for this is to ensure that my skin looks refreshed for the reunions with friends and family. Besides, I’ve been working on self-care and beauty routines for nearly a year. I want to make sure that it shows! Secondly, as calendars begin to fill with loops around uptown and downtown Manhattan, my skin deserves extra time for repair.
