I love skin care. I don't think I can express how much I love the comforting feeling of a face wash cleaning the skin at the end of the day. It's all part of the after-work routine of taking the work clothes off and putting on lounge pants.
Besides loving skin care and the routine, I'm also a scientist. I have two Masters degrees in Epidemiology and a PhD in Plant Pathology.
