I wish I could say I slept even seven hours a night but with all the stories I write and the meetings I take and the events in Los Angeles — oh, and new Netflix shows — I stay up much later than I should. That’s one reason why eye cream is my favorite part of my morning and nighttime skincare routines. It refreshes my eyes, de-puffing and allowing me a few minutes of much-needed self-care. Now that we’re heading into a new year, I’m looking to the best new eye creams of 2023, the ones I’ll be using on rotation for months to come.
