Hyperpigmentation is something many want to combat but some active ingredients can leave my skin dry. Thanks to skin flooding, I’ve been able retain moisture while seeing my hyperpigmentation fade with ease. This list has my favorite skincare products that has my skin glowing and those dark spots at bay without any ... Just so you know, I have combination/normal skin that is acne prone. Oh! No need to think of what happens when. Everything is categorized for you <3

Toners & Mists
I skin flood so I use about 3 toners a night. however, you don't have to! I start with a toner pad, follow with the Grape Water mist, and end with a few toner mists. here's a quick tip: cut toner pads in half to get more bang for your buck
