SkinCare: 6 products you should never use on your face no matter what

Skincare is on the lips of literally everyone on Michelle Obama’s internet constantly because skincare is really that important.

Anything that involves taking good care of your skin to maintain its health and appearance is a big deal.

But whiles there’s so much talk about skincare, there’s also a lot of quack advice on products you should use on your skin. For starters, it’s important to avoid harsh, drying products, as well as to not over-cleanse your skin, as this can strip it of its natural oils and lead to irritation.
