I’m so excited for the gentle hour cleansing balm giveaway event. I’ve never tried a cleansing balm before. Have you?

 Would you recommend cleansing balm as part of a double cleanse routine?

Anyone have under eye mask recommendations?

I’ve been seeing under eye masks as a way to concentrate product around the eye area. 

Looking for ways to brighten under eyes and get rid of bags.

I just learned about gua sha and the benefits of simulating blood circulation using eastern traditional techniques. The draining of my lymphatic nodes seems most beneficial for me as my face feels bloated a lot. 

As I was following along a step by step tutorial for gua sha, the influencer mentioned that they do gua sha each morning for 3 minutes. 

I typically spend more time on my skincare routine at night since I’m always running late in the mornings. 

When do you gua sha? Are there any benefits to time of day? Any tips to share?

In the United States, Krispy Kreme just announced that they are going to give out free donuts for showing vaccination cards. 

This will not help my skincare, but I can’t resist a good deal. 

Will you be picking up free donuts from Krispy Kreme this year? 

Aside from sugar, what else would you recommend staying away from to improve skin clarity?

Did not experience antiwrinkle properties on my skin. Maybe i need to test the product longer. 

Absorbs really well. Lightweight product made of pure centella from madagascar. Brightening and antiwrinkle properties. Did not irritate my skin. 

 I was initially concerned about the concept of a bean essence rather than a different active ingredient, but this worry has since gone away 


 After using this product for a week, I found this product to be best used on my skin as a essence. It absorbs very easily, and makes my skin feel plump. 

I did not try using this product as an exfoliate, but I like that it has the option to be used that way

 There is a slightly earthy sent that can be unpleasant to some, but I found it to be fine.

 This product contains a high concentration of vitamin C, which can help brighten the complexion and reduce appearance of dark spots and hyper pigmentation. This lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbed quickly into my combination skin.

 I found this product to take longer to absorb into my skin, and the applicator is not as easy to use as other products on the market.

 Love the ingredients, including 0.1% retinol and one ppm retinal. I found the anti-aging properties in skin rejuvenation to be accurate with continued use.

 Wish the packaging felt less plasticky and more refined. 

 I loved everything about this triple action product. It contains 0.1% retinol, and was very easy to dispense out of the packaging. This also absorbed very easily into my combination dry skin with continued use, I hope to see more of my fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes disappear.
