Comment (1)
This post made my Fall graduation present list grow a bit, heh. The Apple extrac and Sacchromyces ferment extract listed in the Queen of Hungary Mist are intriguing. I currently have other skin care with those ingredients, but they tend to be a bit sticky due to the amount of glycerin added. As I finish my final quarter as an aging non-traditional university student in her late 20's, my skin is getting drier and putting the heater on blast during cold winter months doesn't help. Hopefully the Queen of Hungary Mist can address my facial dryness without the stickiness of my other products.
Just wondering, how does the travel sized bottle typically last for you with regular use?
