💡 GBeauty: The best serum I've used in my life

I hate when expensive things work.

Hi. What a week, right?

***

Quick announcement for beauty journalists/writers/editors and publicists looking to pivot or add freelance copywriting to your business! I'm partnering with Erica Metzger and The Beauty Loop for a Virtual Spotlight this Friday (tomorrow) at 1pm ET. We'll chat about how to break into copywriting, negotiate rates, polish PR comms, incorporate best pitching practices and we’ll answer questions along the way! There are only a few spots left. Sign up using this form and if you’re a beauty journalist, reach out to Erica for free sign-up. See you there.

I’ve been wanting to republish this newsletter I wrote three years ago TO THE DAY (that was actually an accident but what fun). It’s about the serum I use for three months only every year that resets my skin and is one of the reasons I’ve staved off Botox entirely thus far—and I’m 44. Am I saying I’ll never get it? No. Am I saying this helps? Yes. I’ve updated the newsletter to include more about my current skincare regimen as well.

I’m sorry for what I’m about to tell you. I’ve found a serum I love. And I’m sorrier to tell you that it costs me nearly a month’s rent for the 1.7-ounce bottle. Yes. I’m very grateful that I haven’t had to buy much skincare in the last 16 years. But I appear to be making up for that in one fell swoop with my new must-have serum. Are you ready?
