I don’t know, on some level it feels like I nurture myself deeply with these beautiful DIY nature-based skin care products and practices.

Dermarolling to Rejuvenate Lips by Deborah Tosline
For decades, I obeyed the recommendations of skin care specialists and avoided using strong Do-It-Yourself (DIY) products and devices on eye, neck and lip skin.
