My Thoughts on The Outset

Hello hello helloooooo my friends! I hope your week is going well and you are remembering to eat some snacks, drink some water, and take some breaks. Today I wanted to take a little time to talk about one of the brands that I use in my day to day skincare--Scarlett Johansson's "The Outset" Skincare line! Before I dive in, I do want to clarify that this is NOT a sponsored post, I just really enjoy their products 🤭

I started using "The Outset" around September of 2023 (so about 6-7 months at this point) and found that it has really helped my skin a lot! The basics set comes with a cleanser, a serum, and a moisturizer, and that is basically all I use (besides a sunscreen that I added to my morning routine). It is supposed to have all natural ingredients that supposedly gently cleanse your skin rather than be abrasive or "deep cleansing" like a lot of other products on the market. Here are my pros and cons with having used the products thus far!

Pros:
-My skin has cleared up a lot since using it!
-It's only three steps, which makes it super easy for me to follow through with a routine when I'm not feeling motivated to do my skincare, or am feeling super tired at night.
-The aesthetic of the bottles is very cute <3
-When you run low, you can buy the refill packets and refill the bottles you already have!

Cons:
-Because it is so gentle, if I happen to miss a day or two of proper skincare, my skin breaks out a lot quicker than if I had used other products :( but honestly this just motivates me to keep up a good routine HAHAHA
-It is more expensive than skincare you can buy in stores (like Target).

Other Tips:
-This is more a skincare tip in general, but I found that double-cleansing at night (washing your face once to get the dirt and grime off, and then a second time to ACTUALLY cleanse your skin) works WONDERS. My skin cleared up and the cleanser worked so much better after I started doing that. And also washing your hands before you do your skincare, too. It sounds like a no brainer, I know. But doing that before touching your face helps to not add any MORE dirt or germies to your skin :)
-If you wanted to try it but aren't ready to commit to the full thing, I recommend starting with the travel sizes! That's what I did before buying the big bottles, and it was super helpful to see how my skin responded to the product change without dropping a ton of money on something I wasn't sure about quite yet.

I also own the Purifying Clay Mask and oh my god you guys, it makes my skin SOOOO soft. Like insanely soft, I rinse it off and am still amazed every time at how smooth my skin feels afterwards. I am looking to maybe add the Night Cream into my routine at some point soon, and if I do I'll be sure to post a video update for you all :)

That's all for today! I just wanted to share a little bit about my routine and my thoughts on the products in case any of you were thinking of trying 🥰 If any of you guys use any other Outset skincare products that you think I would enjoy, feel free to leave a comment or DM me! I would love to hear about them!

Have a great rest of your week, and I'll talk with you guys soon!
