A TALL GLASS OF WATER FOR YOUR SKIN
This product is simply the best! It has amazing ingredients that help to hydrate and reduce redness. I have a normal skin type with some sensitivities to certian ingredients and use this twice a day after using the Glow Recipie Watermelon Toner. I will say that it has a slight scent- but nothing that iretates my skin or causes hedaches. I would defentitly recommend this product to anyone who fits a similar critera to my skin type as stated above.
