Transcript excerpt

Your makeup ever look like this? I didn't exfoliate for a week, and my skin never looked so textured, and my makeup looked so crepey and dry around certain areas. I needed something to fix that stat. I yes daily microfoliant for a week. This gentle exfoliant brightens, smooths, and clears clogged pores. I needed it because my pores felt so backed up since I wasn't exfoliating rank it showed. This was a midweek check-in and it already looked smoother and less dull. My final check-in without makeup, so much better, and added makeup no we can see the smoothness and how much brighter my skin looks. No more makeup clinging to my textured skin.
