The Habit After Your Shower Almost Nobody Does

Not you reading this in a hot shower. Dull, tired-looking skin usually isn't a missing serum: it's a dozen tiny habits that dry, rub or burn your skin's outer layer. The long hot shower, the squeaky-clean wash, rubbing your face dry, the daily scrub, skipping SPF on grey days, picking, your phone, licking your lips, fragrance on your face, a new active every week, sleeping in makeup and the minute after your shower. Each one gets its free swap, and every claim is labelled on screen with its source.
