Skincare Favorites

This is my ultimate skincare favorites list – the crême de la crême of the million skincare products I’ve tried till I got to clear, glowing skin. But also remember, no matter how many or how expensive your products are, they only work when you’re consistent, and when you listen to your skin and what it needs according to the location, season, time in your menstrual cycle etc. Good Luck dear reader💙
