really need
a separate
eye cream?
Q
Eye^cream:^ JennaGang/GalleryStock.SABINA SAYS: Likely not. While daily use is key for maximum long-term benefits,
anti-aging products work cumulatively over time. It takes about four weeks to six months
to see the full effects, so skipping a few days once shouldn’t change your results. But if
you’re using a retinol treatment and have eased into it gradually to minimize irritation (e.g.,
applying it every other day) and you take a break, you may have to start over to readjust.If I miss a few days of my anti-aging
skincare routine, will I set back the results?
