As a digital social media influencer ππ½ββοΈ my face is my money maker π I am totally at a loss π€·π½ββοΈ so decided to blog about ways of fixing my horrible dry eye retinol mistake π€¦π½ββοΈ
The Back Story
Being a seasoned African American woman πΈπ½ I do have minimal lines & a few crows feet πΈ
*All πΈ are UNEDITED (just cropping) & ZERO FILTERS π―
π A month ago I ran out of eye cream but remembered π‘ I had 1οΈβ£ in my skin care stash (perks of being a makeup artist π©π½βπ¨)
π« Now I am not going to “DRAG” the product here because I don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression π π½ββοΈ This was not the products fault; completely user error π°
Being a thicker eye cream π§΄ used just a little during the day under makeup but piled it on every night π΄
One day when putting on my makeup π to film π¦, I noticed serious dryness around my orbital bone π First instinct was to double up on the eye cream β increase my water π¦ intake (more on that in another blog)
When the dryness got to EPIC levels I looked at the eye cream: RETINOL π±
Being a model & makeup artist π¨ I know how to pose to get a good shot π· However, I still need help getting my eyes back to camera ready π€©
Ways of Fixing My Horrible Dry Eye Retinol Mistake
Fingers crossed π€π½ the Mermaid Skincare & Wellness eye cream makes a difference to my thirsty eyes π€€
β° In the mean time, I started using my “go to” moisturizer. When any part of my skin gets overly dry π΅ I reach for Aquaphor! Although it has helped a bit it’s still a long way from recovered π€
π Also Aquaphor is too thick to be used every day π The last thing I need is to get under eye acne π₯Ί
