Skin + Me - Two months In
Hey Neighbour,
It’s now two months into my Skin+ Me routine. Like last month there have been some slips and a few missed days. But overall, the daily routine of cleaning and moistening has set in. The second month saw a new doser but with the same prescription as before.
The pharmacist did explain after my initial consultation that there would be an adjustment period. My doser includes Tretinoin and has been at a relatively low level to allow my skin to adjust. The quantity is still the same, but due to increase with the next doser.
What’s The Impact
After two months of using Skin + Me, my skin is definitely looking healthier. I’ve also started to notice some changes in my skin tone. My cheeks are looking more even in colour, with less rosacea, and my nose is also slightly improving.
I’ve also started to receive some comments from colleagues who have noticed a difference. While the change has been slight, it’s definitely something I have noticed and it has come with a little boost to my confidence too.
Overall, I’m still enjoying this journey and looking forward to what the third month will bring. I did receive a notification from Skin + Me that this month they have changed there formula for the cleanser and moisturiser. With that I’m expected to see another noticeable improvement this month.

Skin + Me - One month in
Where it started
A couple of months ago, I started to notice that my skin was not looking its best. Smoking, coffee, and generally not thinking about my skin had taken its toll. I was noticing redness across my cheeks and nose, with a fair few of blemishes spread across my face.
While I wasn’t really concerned, as I had accepted this is part of getting older and I’d never have my 20 year old skin again. I also knew that I could do something to improve my skin.
A few years ago, I had a similar experience and I was encouraged to try Skin + Me, a UK based company that makes prescription face creams tailored to your face. The last time I tried them, after a couple of months I noticed a visible improvement in my skin.
With that in mind, I was hopeful if it would work again. So, I took the three photos of my face and submitted their online consultation. It took around 5 minutes and a few days later, their pharmacist had prescribed a daily doser for me. A cute device that only lets out as much cream as you need each day.
I also signed up for the daily wash and moisturiser which is a simple blend designed to compliment the doser. I know I could have got these cheaper on the high-street but this way, I wouldn’t have to go up the high-street and I could also budget the spending every two months.
What’s the Impact
After the first month of using Skin + Me, there is a mild improvement to my skin. It’s starting to look healthier than before and I’m aware of the difference. Though I think this is mainly due to the fact that I have spent a month doing a twice daily skin routine.
Aside from the skin improvements, there’s also been a change to my way of thinking. Committing to this routine, adding it to my daily journey, and pushing myself to come back when I dropped the ball for a couple of days has caused a change in feeling.
When I do my skin routine, knowing that I have made this choice, makes me feel good about myself. Feeling good about the choices I’m making also encourages me to make different choices elsewhere. When I drop the ball and miss a day or too, I’m also less likely to have a go at myself, and more determined to pick up the routine again.
In Summary
One month into my routine, I’m here for it. I’m seeing noticeable changes in my skin, and more surprisingly, my mindset around the choices I make.
It’s definitely been value for money and knowing that money is going into a British company and local jobs, that are using recyclable materials, it’s just hitting so many positive notes that I’m really looking forward to what the next month brings.
A Warm Welcome
It all begins with an idea.
Hey,
Welcome to the Rossoverse. This is the first post of my Blog and it contains nothing worth reading. To be honest, I’m only writing this post because I am trying to follow the RAPID development process I learned from a web design company.
The process involves RAPIDly deploying content and then iterating it over time. It’s about avoiding procrastination in pursuit of perfection and instead focussing on delivering and then improving something over time.
So, this is the first post of the Rossoverse blog. For now, this is it. But with time, it will grow into something more. In the mean time, thanks for taking a moment to join me on this journey.
