My 5 Must-Have Serums and Oils I Cannot Live Without
If your new to my blog, welcome!! I absolutely love skincare and want to share more tips and products to add to your daily beauty routine. I have very sensitive combination skin and get nervous to try new products in fear of breaking out. On the other hand, my skin gets use to continuous use of the same products so I like to give my skin a break and try out some new ones! This is where my top 5 favorite serums come in, because I like to alternate between use. At a young age my mother and grandmother taught us to always take good care of your skin. It's the largest external organ on your body- treat it with love and respect! You always hear "drink a lot of water it's good for your skin!" True- but that's only a small bit of the battle. Genetics, hormones and weather take a major tolls on the skin. Not only was I never blessed with clear porcelain skin but I feel like I have had ...
