We’ve all stood in front of the mirror, lifting our cheeks with our hands or pulling at our necks to lift drooping skin.

It eavesdrops on our thoughts and stresses, responds to what we feed it internally and topically, and even lets us know when something is out of balance. We must take these as signs to tune into what you and your skin may be in need of.
