I’m usually not one for essences—I do not actually see the purpose, to be sincere—however I’ll placed on no matter Mom McGrath creates. My blind belief in her has by no means let me down, and this was no exception. The milky essence soaked proper into my combo pores and skin, leaving a lightweight veil of moisture with no greasy residue. My pores and skin immediately felt plumper and brighter, and it felt like my moisturizer soaked in higher afterward. It additionally helped my make-up apply smoother, and saved my pores and skin hydrated all day lengthy. I used to be apprehensive the oils would make me get away, however I’ve had no points to this point, and the sunshine rose scent did not irritate my delicate pores and skin. And like each Pat product, it appears killer in my toilet.
