There's a reason why the term "beauty sleep" exists. When you're puyat, your skin's ability to repair itself slows down. This causes the complexion to appear dull and feel a bit rough to touch.
If you tend to work long hours, one simple way you can care for your skin is by adding a serum into your routine. While nothing will replace a good night's sleep, these potent formulas below can help keep your skin healthy (and glowing!):
1. Snail White Miracle Intensive Repair Serum
P1,695, Lazada
Combat dullness and dryness with a few drops of this skin-renewing serum! The silky concentrate contains alpha arbutin to fade dark spots and snail secretion filtrate to boost your skin's collagen and elastin production.
2. Ellana Cosmetics Clear Skin Clarifying Serum

Are you willing to splurge a bit more?

Are you breaking out? Facial washes may not sit on your skin as long as serums, but they're just as crucial in keeping pimples from forming. Pick up this facial wash that's formulated with beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) to deeply cleanse the skin, drawing out all the dirt and oil that may congest your complexion.
