Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Wait, who is that?” Like, you expect your usual reflection, but instead, there’s these weird dark patches popping up on your face that you definitely did not invite to the party. Yeah, that’s melasma. Especially that sneaky pregnancy melasma that likes to show up unannounced and overstays its welcome.

If there’s one skincare ingredient that can truly transform your skin overnight, it’s retinol. Known for its powerful anti-aging and skin-renewing properties, retinol has become a staple in nighttime routines for those looking to improve texture, reduce fine lines, and promote a healthy glow.

Winter can be tough on the skin, especially with the cooler temperatures and dry air. That’s why I rely on a super-hydrating morning skincare routine to keep my skin glowing and healthy all season long.
