I'm Most Often Complimented on My Soft Skin, Brows, and Nails—Here's Why

One of the major perks of being a beauty editor is the abundance of products at my disposal. I've slathered my face in serums that cost more than a steak dinner, adorned my curls with the most luxe oils, and played with just about every liquid eyeliner there is. While I consider myself a humble queen who doesn't rely too heavily on external validation, I am human and certainly take notice when certain features of mine rack up compliments. And when I post selfies to my Instagram Stories, or even sometimes when I'm out walking the dog, the areas that seem to attract the most praise from friends, family, and passersby are my skin, eyebrows, and nails.

As someone who's got more beauty products than I can even fit in my house (I had to build out a whole organisational setup just to house them all), I do sometimes get product ADD. But I guess I'm passionate enough about soft skin, bushy eyebrows, and pretty nails to have cultivated go-to routines around those areas, stacked with products that keep my interest despite all the shiny distractions.
