How To Create A Custom Skin Care Routine: Splurge Edition!

Welcome back, Glams and Geeks! In Wednesday’s edition of How To Create A Custom Skin Care Routine, I recommended some brands that are easy to find at almost any drugstore or convenience store near you. Brands such as Burt’s Bees, Olay, Yes To, L’Oreal, etc. are not only affordable, but are so widely available that I knew it would be best to suggest those to start off with. Now, while those brands are great and do offer products that are budget-friendly and effective, today I want to talk about some great skin care products, offered by higher-end brands, that you can find at your nearest mall, or online! As I already went over all of the basics and essentials for your skin care routine in my previous post (click here if you haven’t read it, yet!), I will not go over it again here, as I want to get straight to the products that are intended for your specific skin type and concern!
