The product-hopping blues
Kellie Stone is an online skin care product reviewer who wrote about one of the downfalls of her job: “product hopping.” It’s a bad habit we can all fall into. Here is an excerpt from her article.
“One of the perks of writing for my own women’s blog and several others is I get to try a lot of health and beauty products for free. Though I appreciate this job, I’ve noticed one downfall of subjecting my face to various formulas: My skin hates it! The glowing, creamy skin that I once had is breaking out, lackluster, and downright dry.
