Now, I'm not going to knock Retin-A, or the generic composition thereof, because it has given me clearer, smoother skin. However, from an around-the-mouth and chin perspective, I've got some issues. Blistex helped soothe the deep cracks in the corners of my mouth, but as for the surrounding area, it looks as if I've been stranded on the frozen tundra for days — chapped, red, flaking skin and all. This is where a rosewater and almond scrub comes into play.
Known for its cooling, hydrating, and antibacterial properties, rosewater provides a gentle astringent effect on the skin, which is perfect for those with sensitivities. Meanwhile the almonds exfoliate and provide moisture. Do you love DIY?
