My Confession On Dencia's Whitenicious And Gluthathione - I Have Used Skin Toning Creams Too

I've been meaning to write this post for almost a month now, since the soaring popularity of Glathathione hit the news.

Dove® VisibleCare™ Toning Crème Body Wash Review

In the past few years I have had to be more intentional in taking care of my skin since I had a case of sun burn after my first visit to a beach here in the United States.
