As summer approaches in the DMV, we are still, well, somewhat experiencing winter this season. However, as the weather warms up, it’s time to transition to a more summer-friendly skincare routine. Here are some of my favorite products! Please note, this is not sponsored or an advertisement; I’m simply sharing my go-to items at the moment.
