Best Skincare Products of 2021
BEST OF 2021
It's a new year and with a new year, comes new skin goals. Some of us switch our skincare routine with new products while some of us stick with what worked for us. The past year has been challenging to say the least, but skin care has been a source of self-care and coping for many of us. To wrap up 2021, we made a list of your favorite products that worked for many of you!
I'm From Rice Toner
The Rice Toner from I'm From was restocked more times than I can remember this year! Made with 77.78% rice extract, this toner is great for brightening and moisturizing the skin. Because rice acts as a natural exfoliant, the toner gently removes dead skin cells to leave the skin tone more even and radiant than ever before. Pairing the Rice Toner with the Rice Serum or Rice Cream will enhance the results.
