Calliope’s gaze shifted very deliberately to the girl's hair anyway. Her eyes narrowed a fraction, cross-checking a mental list of standards, expectations, things she'd been taught to notice whether she wanted to or not.

Well...if she said so...

And just like that she moved on, attention shifting back to the Ravenclaw's face.

"Alright then. Skincare only." She reached out, plucking a bottle from the nearby shelf without even really looking at the label ― this was just a prop anyway. "First thing: ignore half of this shop. You don't need half of it, you're not preparing for a Witch Weekly cover shoot, and introducing too much at once is a guaranteed way to make your skin break out even more.”

She set the bottle back down, picking up another that she hardly regarded.

"Basic routine," she continued, holding up the bottle that was an aftershave and definitely not something either of them needed. "Cleanser, something gentle for sensitive skin since you're just starting out. Twice a day, morning and night. That alone will fix a lot more than you think." The bottle was returned to the shelf. "Get yourself an exfoliating scrub and do that no more than twice a week so prevent your skin from getting irritated. After washing, a toner. Then, of course, hydration. A little bit of moisturizer while your skin is still a bit wet AND drink plenty of water too. Water is a huge factor and seems simple, but that consistency is where the real metamorphosis begins.”

She angled her head slightly, studying her again—this time more intentionally. Skin texture, any redness, early breakouts, all of it catalogued in a glance.

"You don't look like you need anything aggressive," she decided. "So don’t go inventing problems just because these shelves say you should have them."

She offered a cursory glance toward the overwhelming rows of products followed ― all promising solutions to problems that, more often than not, didn’t actually exist until someone decided they did. Rash removal. Pimple vanishing. Scar erasing. As if skin wasn't allowed to… be skin. As if a bruise wasn't just proof you’d actually done something worth bruising for.

Color-changing potions. Eye-shaping formulas. Hair that needed to be straighter, curlier, longer, gone entirely depending on the day. Confidence bottled and sold like it could be measured in ounces and purchased for two galleons and a questionable sense of self-worth.

Please.

"Everything else is just people trying to sell you confidence in a bottle." She pursed her lips. "Honestly, going with babbano products is probably better. A lot of this stuff is given too much magical razzle dazzle and skin doesn't need all that."
