Borage Therapy Dry Skin Lotion review

This fragrance-free lotion is rich and soothing, but not the least bit greasy. Plus, we explore the benefits of borage seed oil.

As a kid, I collected many things: stickers, bouncy balls, pencils, stamps, rocks…I guess I sound like a hoarder, eh? Now that I live in a small apartment in NYC, I can’t do that anymore.

This fragrance-free cleanser does a great job of removing physical tinted sunscreen without overly stripping your skin of moisture.

Drunk Elephant has to be one of my favorite names for a company, ever.

Here are my honest thoughts on this hand cream, who I think might like this hand cream, and who might not want to invest in this particular hand cream.
