  Hey glow getters! 💖 Dudu here! Okay, let’s be real for a second. Is your skin freaking out right now? I’m talking about that tight, itchy feeling where your face feels two sizes too small. Or maybe you tried to put on foundation this morning, and it just sat on top of your skin, looking cakey and flaky? Ugh, the winter struggle is real! ❄️ Living here in Seoul, the winter wind is no joke.
