At the moment, my skincare routine is pretty much non-existent. Back when I had a schedule and a routine in my every day life, I was actually pretty good at caring for my skin. Doing it enough as part of a routine really helped me. I am currently on sick leave and there's no stability in my every day life that helps me get into a routine, sadly.

The routine I had was facewash, tonic, and cream.

Before I got my ADHD diagnosis, I went to see my psychiatrist because I suspected I had PMDD, since I only had one week a month where I weren't depressive and perhaps even a danger to myself. She agreed that I probably have PMDD, but she asked me to take an ADHD test, which is when I got my ADHD diagnosis. Even though PMDD isn't an official diagnosis in Denmark, she still believed that I probably have it. How we figured out how to avoid my issues with PMDD was just by skipping my periods, by continuing taking my birth control pills without any breaks. This has done wonders for my mental health! No periods, no back aches, and no depressive episodes.

As a person who is lactose intolerant I can inform you that this is very true.

I get where you're coming from, but as someone who enjoys looking at Riker with the beard, I do prefer the trope of "Growing the Beard".

Fun fact: there's a trope called "Growing the Beard", which is the opposite to "Jumping the Shark" wherein there is a dramatic difference between "before and after" through a series run. The trope got its name from Star Trek: NTG after Commander Riker grew out his beard which coincided with a significant improvement of the show, with an increase in quality and the show growing into its own identity.

Look at this distinguished gentleman! So lovely!
