Springtime Self-Care
W
What I ’ m loving this spring is not my usual lineup of colored products — lipsticks , after all , are mostly hidden behind our masks . Instead , I am focusing on self-care and using products that feel great and work well with active ingredients — bonus points if they smell heavenly !
Spring 2021 is a perfect time to get serious about skincare . With face masks still required in many locations , starting on an anti-aging routine during a pandemic has its upsides — redness and potential irritation as your skin adjusts to a new regimen are mostly covered . These products can also help address clogged pores that cause “ maskne .” If you follow any estheticians or dermatologists , you know your skin care must include a quality sunscreen , a retinoid , and an effective Vitamin C product . These are my current favorites .
