Brand Director & Asst. Buyer, Eden
Torri, 32
- Skin Type Normal & Easily Irritated
- Concern Preventative Care
Gentle cleansers and richer moisturizers are Torri's go-to. As her Eden Team encourages, she's started using chemical exfoliants in the past year, and gentle ones at that, sparingly - great to combat dullness. She's consistent with sun protection and at home facials with skincare devices to lift, sculpt, and allow for a deeper absorbtion of hydrating products.
