Ceylon cinnamon, also known as “true cinnamon,” straight from Sri Lanka. Can’t wait to use it in my favorite tea.My search for the Origins Clear Improvement mask, featured last week, led me to find these Boscia Pore Purifying Black Strips. They’re a little pricey, but I was intrigued and looking for an alternative to the Bioré version, which actually seem to create even more damage by leaving a sticky residue. I was happy to find that the Boscia strips, which use charcoal powder to draw out impurities, are much more effective, and I’ll be adding these to my biweekly routine.
