Hi! Completely new to this and been blessed with clear skin all my life. Starting to worry about preventing wrinkles, staying moisturized (my skin skews dry), reducing pore size, & looking less tired/more glowing. I want to create a structured, easy, fast daily routine.
Currently I use cerave hydrating facial cleanser when I remember, & sometimes The Ordinary hylauronic acid and retinol.
Recs for facial moisturizers, serums, toner, and SPF that goes on clear?
Thank you skincare lovers!

Didn't bother with human interaction before tbh but this loneliness is creeping up. 😔

Do you think WFH will end suddenly once a vaccine is available? What if you don't get the vaccine?

Is it crazy to leave my job at EY to take a lower paying position in industry? I'm a recently promoted tax manager making about 140k. I've been considering going to industry for a while, gotten a couple offers, but they're all pretty low (<$120k). Honestly, the $20k difference isn't that much, but I've also been considering taking job that pay maybe $90k and doing work on the side (my own "firm"). But it also feels strange to accept such a lower salary. Thoughts?

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.
