TAB Beauty: Serum Showdown

Serums…what do you know about them? Well they’re meant to concentrate on specific skincare needs like hydration, blemish reduction or anti-aging.

TAB Beauty: Pore Purification with Etude House

Around the time that I realized my skin was getting extremely flaky, I noticed that the pores around my nose were also getting a bit…ermmm…big. What can I say, chalk it up to getting older I guess?
