As a digital social media influencer 🙆🏽♀️ my face is my money maker 😁 I am totally at a loss 🤷🏽♀️ so decided to blog about ways of fixing my horrible dry eye retinol mistake 🤦🏽♀️
The Back Story
Being a seasoned African American woman 👸🏽 I do have minimal lines & a few crows feet 🕸
*All 📸 are UNEDITED (just cropping) & ZERO FILTERS 💯
📅 A month ago I ran out of eye cream but remembered 💡 I had 1️⃣ in my skin care stash (perks of being a makeup artist 👩🏽🎨)
🚫 Now I am not going to “DRAG” the product here because I don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression 🙅🏽♀️ 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 💄 to film 🎦, I noticed serious dryness around my orbital bone 👀 First instinct was to double up on the eye cream ➕ increase my water 💦 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 📷 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 🤒
🛑 Also Aquaphor is too thick to be used every day 🛑 The last thing I need is to get under eye acne 🥺
