Other side effects may include skin tingling or stinging, itching,Continue reading “Q: Does Salicylic Acid Cleanser Purge Your Skin?”

Q: My skin is very dull, I have under-eye circles, and the texture is very bumpy and rough. How do I fix these issues in a short period of time?

I would suggest visiting an esthetician first and ask her opinion about how to deal with your under-eye circles and skin texture.

Q: Should I apply sunscreen in my night skincare routine?

You probably do not need to apply sunscreen during your night skincare routine. Basically, you only need to apply sunscreen at night time if you are under LED light bulbs.

Q: When can I exfoliate in my skin care routine?

When to exfoliate in your skin care routine really depends on your skin type. I say this because doing extra exfoliation makes the skin react reversely. By exfoliating too much, we take layers off the skin and the skin’s reaction would be making more skin to fight back against the “trauma.” So it’s important toContinue reading “Q: When can I exfoliate in my skin care routine?”
