At Silc, we’re all about skincare revelations—whether they involve sipping unicorn tears or moonlight serums. But today, we’re diving into uncharted territory: face basting. Yes, you read that right. It’s like “slugging 2.0,” and it involves a surprising ingredient—diaper cream. Before you raise an eyebrow (or a tube of diaper cream), let’s break it down.
Face Basting: The Dr. Shereene Idriss Way
Meet Dr. Shereene Idriss, the dermatologist who turned TikTok upside down with her #PillowtalkDerm series. She’s the mastermind behind “face basting,” a quirky hack to rescue your skin barrier from the brink of despair. Here’s the scoop:
The Recipe: As the final flourish in your skincare symphony, grab your Triple Paste Diaper Rash Cream. Yes, you heard us right—diaper cream. Imagine icing your face like a cupcake before bedtime. Dr. Shereene swears by it.
Why Diaper Cream?: Zinc oxide is the unsung hero here. It’s like gold for your skin. This magical mineral repairs, heals, and locks in hydration. Say goodbye to dry, inflamed skin—it’s time for a revival.
The Geography of Basting: Not everyone needs to hop on the face basting train. If you’re an oily-skinned beach bum in a humid paradise, you’re off the hook. But if you’re battling Sahara-like dryness in Utah, Nevada, or Wyoming, listen up.
Cream Wars: Dr. Shereene’s top pick? Triple Paste Diaper Rash Cream. It’s not just for baby bottoms; it’s your secret weapon. With 12% zinc oxide and soothing oat kernel extracts, it’s like a spa day for your face.
A Word of Caution: Avoid the Drama Creams
Not all diaper creams are created equal. Skip the drama queens with irritating ingredients like fragrance, beeswax, and talc. And steroids? They’re not invited to this skincare party.
Ladies, Frost Yourselves (with Diaper Cream)
So, there you have it. Face basting—your backstage pass to hydrated, barrier-protected skin. Whether you’re a skincare nerd or a curious cupcake, remember: It’s not about where it comes from; it’s about where it takes you. Frost yourselves, darlings.
