When it comes to your skin, we are confident that you have a well-oiled regimen going complete with cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer and sunscreen (I’m just going to ignore that murmuring about how you haven’t been following through with the full steps of it all weekend though) designed for your skin type whether it's oily, dry or sensitive. But, let's face it, every now and then our skin always throws us for a loop giving us a week or two where it's super red and dry when it's otherwise normally hydrated.
Enter the skin booster. Boosters are these magical products that we’ve seen popping up hat look kind of like a serum, but we didn’t know what to do with them… until now. These fairly thin substances (not to be confused with the equally thin essence) that come in a small bottle either with a dropper or a controlled dispenser are designed to help you target short-term skin care concerns that we occasionally face.

Mix your skin-fixing booster in your moisturizer, foundation or even face mask until your complexion woes clear and you can get back to your regularly scheduled skincare programming.
