My Beauty Secret: Frozen Peas

My face reveals everything. My stress, my fears, my years, my take-out dinner habit; my skin retains all my salt and emotions, causing it to appear puffy, saggy, tired and sallow. And I have yet to find a miracle cream that can immediately change any of this. To combat the million-year-old reflection that’s been greeting me in the mirror these past few mornings, I have to recline with a frozen bag of peas on my face for 10 minutes. It sounds crazy, and it takes a chunk of time out of my morning, but I swear it takes down redness, inflammation and makes my face look perky, refreshed and awake. Totally worth the price of peas.
