Hi, Violets! What if your skincare routine was doing more than just helping your skin? What if it was helping your mind, too? I watched my mom do her makeup and care for her skin from a young age. Those quiet mornings — just the two of us in the bathroom — are some of my most treasured memories. I always found skincare a little magical, even then. But I didn’t truly understand why those moments felt so grounding until many years later. I feel like my skincare routine gives me

Hi, Violets! If you have normal skin, you might think you don’t need to do any skincare. But balanced doesn’t mean bulletproof. Even normal skin needs consistent care to stay that way — especially as the seasons change. After twenty years in the beauty business, I’ve landed on a skincare routine that works year-round with just a few smart seasonal tweaks. It’s simple, effective, and designed to support your skin’s natural balance. Don’t have a normal skin type? No worries, I

Hi, Violets! Living in Finland with oily skin can feel like a constant, messy middle ground. One day, your skin’s tight and dry. The next, it’s shiny by noon. The weather here doesn’t just shift—it swings quite often. And if you don’t adjust your routine, you will hear from your skin later. Before we move on, have you, by any chance, a combination skin and need help with your yearly routine? Look no further, here’s a link to my previous post. I hope you found it helpful. Miss

Hi, Violets! If you have dry or sensitive skin, be sure to check out my previous posts. Now, onto today’s topic: I haven’t shared my skin type before, but I thought it was time to reveal it—I have a 40+ combination skin. Managing it year-round has become second nature to me, partly because I’ve been passionate about skincare since I was 13 or 14. And of course, being an aesthetician helps a lot. Combination skin is very common, like any other skin type, but keeping my oily T-

Don't have sensitive skin, but dry skin? Hi, Violets, Let’s talk about sensitive skin. If you’ve ever felt a sting from a new serum, seen redness out of nowhere, or had your skin feel tight like it’s wearing an invisible mask, you’re not imagining it. Sensitive skin affects 60% of women and 50% of men, and it doesn’t take much to set it off — weather changes, pollution, skincare products, or even your pillowcase. The Real Struggle Summer is often the toughest time of the year

Hi, My Dear Reader! I have been blogging for one year and eight months. I have picked topics from the website: answerthepublic.com, my interests and current events in the world. Now I'm thinking it might be time to go back to the basics in skincare—skincare routines, to be exact. I'm thinking maybe my content has been too advanced, since I don't get any comments here on WordPress or on social media. You tell me? If you have any criticism or development ideas, PLEASE tell me.

Hi, Violet Gang! I’ve been sharing short videos of my morning and evening skincare routines on Instagram for a while now. You can find them on my account @violettextsbynina, under the (highlight)series Violet Routine. In each video, I highlight just one product—why I use it, when I use it, and what it does for my skin, and so on. However, because those clips spotlight only one product, I thought it was a good idea to step back and see the whole routine: what a complete skinca
