Goodbye K-Beauty: Why I Quit My 12-Step Skincare Routine đ
Yes, I admit. I’ve finally quit my 12-Step Skincare Routine! Simply because I no longer have the time and patience for it. I’ve been doing the regime for years and if truth be told, there have been very little evidence that it has made any improvement to my skin. It felt like I was walking…
DECEIM’s Hylamide Subq Anti-Age Advanced Serum Review on Sensitive/ Aging Skin
