Ways of Fixing My Horrible Dry Eye Retinol Mistake

As a digital social media influencer πŸ™†πŸ½β€β™€οΈ my face is my money maker 😁 I am totally at a loss πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ so decided to blog about ways of fixing my horrible dry eye retinol mistake πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

The Back Story

Being a seasoned African American woman πŸ‘ΈπŸ½ I do have minimal lines & a few crows feet πŸ•Έ
*All πŸ“Έ are UNEDITED (just cropping) & ZERO FILTERS πŸ’―

πŸ“… A month ago I ran out of eye cream but remembered πŸ’‘ I had 1️⃣ in my skin care stash (perks of being a makeup artist πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸŽ¨)

🚫 Now I am not going to “DRAG” the product here because I don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression πŸ™…πŸ½β€β™€οΈ This was not the products fault; completely user error 😰

Being a thicker eye cream 🧴 used just a little during the day under makeup but piled it on every night 😴

One day when putting on my makeup πŸ’„ to film 🎦, I noticed serious dryness around my orbital bone πŸ‘€ First instinct was to double up on the eye cream βž• increase my water πŸ’¦ intake (more on that in another blog)

When the dryness got to EPIC levels I looked at the eye cream: RETINOL 😱

Being a model & makeup artist 🎨 I know how to pose to get a good shot πŸ“· However, I still need help getting my eyes back to camera ready 🀩

Ways of Fixing My Horrible Dry Eye Retinol Mistake

Fingers crossed 🀞🏽 the Mermaid Skincare & Wellness eye cream makes a difference to my thirsty eyes 🀀

⏰ In the mean time, I started using my “go to” moisturizer. When any part of my skin gets overly dry 🌡 I reach for Aquaphor! Although it has helped a bit it’s still a long way from recovered πŸ€’

πŸ›‘ Also Aquaphor is too thick to be used every day πŸ›‘ The last thing I need is to get under eye acne πŸ₯Ί
