"A little while after completing my evening skincare routine, I would apply a thin layer of ointment all over my face. I was really surprised to find the next morning that my skin wasn't tight or dry. It felt healthy and hydrated. Revelation. So, I went from using Vaseline to Aquafor to Caravee to Prequel because each of them was more elegant than its predecessor."
