I've been looking for a skin care product because I'm always upset when I look in the mirror these days.

Last weekend, I went to a cafe with a beautiful outdoor terrace with my friends for the first time in a while. The weather was so nice, we took a ton of pictures, but when I got home and looked at the results, I felt a bit disappointed. I definitely put on some makeup, but the dark spots around my eyes stood out, probably because of the lighting. I used to be able to just apply sunscreen, but now I feel like I need some serious skincare. So, since last night, I've been scouring online communities and blogs for information on skincare products for freckles. There are so many different types and ingredients, it's hard to decide which ones will work best for my skin without irritating it. Do any of you have any skincare products that have actually been effective? I'd really appreciate any recommendations, whether they're expensive, high-performance products or cost-effective options. I'd especially appreciate recommendations for skincare products that absorb well and don't feel sticky. How do you all deal with seasonal skin concerns?
