Your Skin Care Line Up Re-Imagined As Bridgerton Characters
Okay, I admit I am a wee bit basic. I have traded pumpkin lattes for a good chai, but I still fall victim to mass trends. I gave into the Bridgerton craze a few weeks ago and finished the whole season in 2 days. I am only mildly ashamed. While there are some things that could be criticized I feel the need to withhold them due to the fact that inspired me to write this post in the wee hours of the night. I am the opposite of a skin care junkie, but pretty much everything some how relates back to it. So here are my thoughts on which characters are what type of skin care products and why.
Let’s Dive In.
DAPHNE BRIDGERTON
The trendy skin care item that was made in partnership of a derm who wanted more klout and a celebrity that already had good skin. They have a team of people who live to make them look good, but swear it’s these new products.
It will have the most basic attributes, but some how the marketing and JLO saying it’s great adds an air of magic and you now feel a gravitational pull to have it.
It could bring you some mild satisfaction, but it’s mostly packaged very well and hyped. It won’t completely wreck you, but there are better, less expensive (less drama filled) options.
THE DUKE
Vitamin C serum hands down.
Unstable most of the time...but there to kick things up a notch and add some kink to your line up. Just like the actual product, it sucks to get addicted to the results because meanwhile you’re creating more damage (with improper usage). Not using this in conjunction with a sun screen, using it with very sensitive skin or getting a rancid batch will leave you with an emotional hangover ala Duke style.
THE QUEEN
EXFOLIATION
Whether you do it with a scrub, or an acid...it’s a bit abrasive. It also does not care how you feel. It’s there to do its job and you must oblige to get what you want.
Your queen commands it.
LADY DANBURY
An ever so lovely balm.
Danbury was a shield for The Duke of having to go at life alone. Soothing over all your visible insecurities while at the same time building you up. Much like a power packed facial balm, we need it in our line up more than we realize. It cares for us in all the other ways our physical products are lacking. Lady Danbury is the gift that keeps giving.
ELOISE BRIDGERTON
Your intuition wants to get down to the bottom of things much like Miss ELOISE.
Very often you push aside your inquisitive nature, but honestly it is the MOST important part of any skin care regimen. Learning to question what you ate, where you were and what you were doing throughout the day can give so much insight when you are trying to get to the bottom of any irritating skin condition.
PENELOPE FEATHERINGTON
This one is a curve ball. She most definitely is your birth control.
Always making you feel a little uncomfortable, a bit rash and at times vengeful-this part of skin care is easily overlooked, but can be a huge culprit for breakouts.
While it has been linked to help with acne it is pure accident and not intentionally made to do so. The reason it can be helpful or harmful depends on your levels of estrogen and progesterone. Guess what, those change all the time. Going off or on can throw your skin in a tizzy.
As Sir Brown once said, “These hoes ain’t loyal”.
