My mom taught me that my skin is my canvas and I have to take great care of it in the morning as well as in the evenings without skipping any steps. She used to say that she loved having “skyscrapers of creams” (literally, piles of creams!) and that I needed to learn to visit the skyscrapers upon waking and before sleeping. Needless to say, her motto was “moisturize, moisturize, moisturize your face and your body.” In my case, I deal with sensitive skin and flare-ups of rosacea that leave me looking like I have tiny pimples on my face and some parts of my body. When that happens, I switch my creams and only use the ones that will help me soothe my skin. After the flare-up clears, I go back to my heavier creams full of vitamins, antioxidants, and peptides.
