Hi! So I worked at Aesop for 2.5 years in Australia where the brand is from.
In complete honesty I would not recommend Aesop as a starting place to build your skincare routine.
The skincare range has a lot of essential oils, that unless your skin is quite robust, can be irritants to the skin. I am of the opinion that there are other brands that are more effective and well priced to get your skincare from.
If you are going to buy from Aesop, I would highly recommend their home, fragrance and body care ranges.
Some skincare brands at a similar price point with more effective products are: - Dr.Dennis Gross - Elemis - Emma Lewisham - Moon Juice

🧴If you told me I could only have one fancy skincare product it would be this one. Have you tried putting on moisturizer while your skin is super dry? Yeah it sucks. Not only does this toner have tons of Vitamin B and antioxidants, it preps your skin for moisturizer, allowing it to actually soak into your skin, instead of laying on the surface. This is one of those products where if I stop using it, there is a noticeable difference in the texture of my skin. I’m biased towards Aēsop (which you can hear more about on my first podcast episode hehe), but they truly make lovely products!

I currently use B.O.B, it's a Brazillian brand specialized in haircare in bars, and I know they ship to the US and UK. They are a bit on the more expensive side, but I signup to their email newsletter and usually they have pretty good discounts. I haven't been dissapointed, and they last quite long, but it's important to keep them somewhere that does not accumulate water.

🚿I can't vouch for their advanced climate control line personally (I use their vitacurl conditioner and gel which works very well for me) but it's easily their most popular line so that might be worth checking out for you. Ouidad's pretty pricey ngl but they do online sales pretty frequently.

I remember writing this in my notes years ago.
I was on the train to meet a friend and it was raining heavily. There were two older women sitting in front of me and they were chatting (in Russian - which I speak).
They were discussing how bad the weather was when one of them said the phrase in my note. Translating to “we’ll live till we get home”.
I thought it was so funny because I had only ever heard my family say Да свадьбy дажевёмся - which means “you’ll live till the wedding” even when there wasn’t a wedding coming up (because there is always someones wedding coming up).

I like to mix up my vibe day to day - my current rotation has been the above three.
Could be light and fresh with Jo Malone one day. Could be floral and musky with Glossier the next. Could be woody and spicy with Aesop the following day.
