![]() I wasn't going to be a sunscreen slacker again (I am determined to fade all those marks this time around) so I looked at my huge tube of Drunk Elephant, decided to give it a second chance. On my way to work, I often found my hair stuck to my face, looking like a catfish. The argan oil in Josie Maran (which itself isn't sufficient enough as moisturizer) made everything extra dewy and it takes half a day to fully dry up. While the layers keep my skin happy and moisturized, it also made me look like a grease ball in the morning. ![]() When winter came, my skincare started to call for layers of lotions and thick cream.
