Philosophy The Microdelivery Daily Exfoliating Wash

Philosophy’s The Microdelivery Daily Exfoliating Wash is one of my favorite physical scrubs ever. And believe me; I’ve tried a lot of them! I think it is gentle enough for daily use, although I do not exfoliate on a daily basis. I usually use it every other day or so, when it is in my […]

Another one of my go-to goodies is the Josie Maran Argan Balm. I have yet to find something it can’t moisturize! I have used it under my eyes especially during the dry wintertime.
