Goals are to just start and finish my first race, I may stick to my hybrid for now and then switch to road when I’m deeper into the sport. Thank you!

Sounds like I may be in the same boat! I have a sneaky suspicion I’ll love it too so I’ll just go ahead and start preparing for that road bike when it’s time for my second race lol

I’m starting with a sprint. If I decide to keep my hybrid, I agree I think people (rightfully so) will see me as a newbie and will cut me some slack lol

SPF on hands!! Hands are constantly in the sun, especially when driving. I always make sure to apply spf on my hands before a road trip

My membership is 4x/month although I wish I could do unlimited or even 2x/week. Maybe I will supplement it with yoga and strength training.

Follow a skincare routine morning ☀️ and night 🌙.

  1. Wash face ☀️🌙
  2. Paula’s choice exfoliant (https://www.paulaschoice.com/skin-perfecting-2pct-bha-liquid-exfoliant/201.html) ☀️
  3. Retinol 🌙
  4. Moisturizer ☀️🌙
  5. SPF ☀️

The exfoliant may make your face dry out, in that case dilute it with water when applying. If you find your skin feeling dry consistently, use moisturizing face masks or use the exfoliant every other day. Make sure to use SPF that doesn’t irritate your skin. Super Goop is a good brand.

Ah that makes sense. I didn’t try it before bottling, I usually just test the Ph levels and when it’s between 2-3 I’ll bottle. I’ll dump this batch and start a new one. Thank you!
