Hi, it's me, the person who presses snooze on their alarm until the last possible second. That means I have to find shortcuts when I get ready so I won't be late for work. A headscarf helps to hide my bedhead. A tracksuit eliminates the search for a cute outfit. Skin Inc's My Daily Dose of Glow streamlines my skin-care routine without skimping on effectiveness.
My dry and hyperpigmentation-prone skin needs moisture and brightening, which means I often use two or three serums containing hyaluronic acid or vitamin C on my face. But I may be parring that number down, thanks to The My Daily Dose of Glow, which gives me everything I need, packed into one glorious product. Thanks to the brightening chlorella extract, rejuvenating vitamin A, and moisturizing hyaluronic acid in the formula, this energizing serum instantly leaves my skin with a healthy sheen. The product is a clear, gel-like substance with different-colored capsules throughout the bottle that you can break up into the overall serum. Each capsule contains one of those power ingredients: Vitamin A is pink, chlorella extract is purple, and hyaluronic acid is blue.
I like to rub a nickel-sized droplet of the serum in my hands to break up the capsules before applying to my face. After cleansing my skin and priming with toner or essence, I'll slather it all over my face and neck then pat it in to make sure it absorbs. The aloe-infused formula feels cooling on my skin, making it an excellent morning pick-me-up. My face is instantly hydrated and dewier, giving the illusion that I got a full eight hours of sleep, even when it may have only been four — no concealer needed over here.
With a little moisturizer and sunscreen for protection, I'm ready to hop on the subway (or more recently onto my living room couch) and start my day. Skin Inc's My Daily Dose of Glow definitely lives up to its name.
