SOME BY MI Yuja Niacin Brightening Sleeping Mask Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Stylevana. After falling in love with Some By Mi’s Yuja serum (review here), I decided to explore the Yuja line a bit more.

To be clear, I don’t mind freckles themselves, but I do not want to get large sun / age spots. SOME BY MI Yuja Niacin Bri

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Oshen Skin. I’m a huge fan of double cleansing, starting with an oil or a balm, then following that up with a foaming cleanser every evening. It’s a ritual of sorts, a symbol for another day well lived and a preview of a hopefully peaceful night to come. I do, however, use a separate makeup remover sometimes - usually something liquid that goes on a cotton pad, or a pre-moistened option. KLAVUU Pure Pearlsation PH Balanc
