Vitamin C

Physical and Chemical Exfoliators

Yes, there is a difference and both are important if you want the skin of your dreams. 

Chemical vs. Physical Exfoliation: What’s the Difference?

Double Cleansing and Oil/Balm Cleansers

If there is one skin tip we urge you to look into and get familiar with it’s the mighty double cleanse. First of the two being with an oil or balm cleanser. If you aren’t already doing this or don’t know what we’re talking about, here are some great resources: Double Cleansing, Oil Cleansing and Balm Cleansers

Retinol

Retinol has a bit of a dual sided reputation. Some are scared of it because many say it makes your skin really sensitive and dry and others swear by this ingredient as their skin’s savior and secret weapon. We round up all the info for you to best decide what’s best for you! Thoughts on Retinol.

SPF 

Yes, even if it’s the dead of winter and you are inside for most of the day. SPF is your anti-aging BFF and probably the most important step in any routine. It’s important to get to know your sunscreens because not all SPF’s are made equal and not all are great for you. Check out SPF For Your Face and SPF For Your Body.
