DNAEGF Renewal: What the Heck are DNA Repair Enzymes?
The new buzz words in beauty seem to be “DNA repair enzymes.” I’m not one to get caught up in science because when it comes to beauty products all the science is mostly just marketing jargon.
Hourglass Illusion Tinted Moisturizer: Good Skin Isn’t Just An Illusion
I’m always trying to minimize the number of products I use. It can be a real drain on time to pile so many on, which is why I love tinted moisturizers. Moisturizer, color, and SPF all in one!
