Skin care is the range of practices that support skin integrity, enhance its appearance and relieve skin conditions. If there is one positive thing I can take out of this quarantine, it is that I have learned more about myself and how to self care. During these (almost) two months, I have been studying my skin and trying skin care products at home that I have and haven't used before, combining different products, etc.
Overtime, I have found the PERFECT skincare routine for me that I use every morning and night and my skin has been FLAWLESS. My skin is so much brighter and smoother that on FaceTime, my mom thinks I am wearing makeup!

Now it is important to note that everyone's skin is DIFFERENT, so if you decide to try these products, patch test yourself on a small piece of your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin.
