We all can be a little careless with our skin care efforts at times, whether it's a (gasp) lack of sun protection, poor lifestyle choices or another rotation around the sun that is starting to show up on your face. You know, in the form of hyperpigmentation (dark spots), uneven texture, breakouts or wrinkles leaving you a little less glowy than usual. Fear not, for there is a solution (that doesn't involve costly trips to the facialist or injecting anything into your face) — a new wave of skin resurfacing treatments (aka exfoliating treatments) that will leave you with soft, smooth, even skin. Using chemical or physical exfoliation, the treatments are available via face masks, moisturizers, serums — and everything in between.

Right now, I'm sitting on a game reserve in South Africa in sweatpants, my hair up in a messy bun, iced coffee collecting residue by my laptop. Earlier today, while the East Coast was still sleeping, I hiked through the bush nearby, passing by giraffes, zebras and baboons. As a full-time freelancer and traveler, no two days are ever quite the same and my scenery changes as often as my time zone. Most would say I'm very lucky and I would tend to agree, even though, yes, I've worked diligently to arrive at this lifestyle. But even as I sit here in near-perfect weather, listening to the breeze tickle its way through the plains, I'm hyper-focused on one thing.
Who among us doesn't dream of fuller, longer, flutterier lashes? It's something that can be achieved with mascara, falsies and extensions, yes, but there's another option out there: eyelash serums, that actually promote natural lash growth.
