A few months ago I had my first experience with dermal fillers. I had my under eyes done by the incredibly talented team over at DLK on Avenue in Toronto and wrote a whole blog post about it. Since then I’ve had a bunch of people message me about my experience – asking for pricing, reviews, and specific questions about my recovery.

The Case for Squalane: Indie Lee’s Squalane Facial Oil Review

I’ve always been a big advocate for facial oils. I started incorporating them in to my beauty routine a few years ago, and I’ve never turned back. I tend to look for oils that I are gentle enough to use every night and I’ve tried just about every kind under the sun, but there are a few types that really stand out and Squalane is one of them.
