My day hasn’t officially started until I’ve cleansed, toned, and moisturized and it’s also not over until all my makeup has been removed and washed off. As someone who is so obsessed with skincare, when I discovered my regime was missing a crucial step, I was shocked and had to remedy it immediately.
Eye cream was somehow MIA from my skincare shelf and with so many on the market, how do you know which one is right for you? Better yet, which one will jive with your makeup and other skincare products?
