I have a distinct memory from my childhood of my mother pulling gloves out of the glovebox of her car. Yes, she actually used the glovebox for its original purpose and namesake, to hold one’s gloves. I always thought driving gloves were intended to help grip the wheel, but she corrected me, they were to avoid sunspots on her hands while commuting to work.
To say she’s been fanatical about skincare since I was young is an understatement. So it was no surprise when I got a text the same day we published this piece on Augustinus Bader from her reading, “Bought Augustinus The Rich Cream today. Have you tried yet?” (followed by a slew of heart emojis, naturally).
