Water filters have gained popularity as awareness of the chlorine and impurities found in tap water grows. Over the years we have collectively learned that, whether for health or taste, these impurities are something nearly everyone would rather filter out of their drinking water. Now, the real question is, if we’re treating our insides like VIPs, shouldn’t our skin get the star treatment, too? The answer is yes! The quality of tap water can certainly affect people’s skin for the worst, so it’s best that we don’t let it linger. However, when it comes to finding a solution, you may be seeing a ..read more

In today’s saturated skincare market, it can be overwhelming to navigate through the countless options available. With new brands popping up every day, and each claiming to be superior, it’s only natural to question: What makes one better than another? If they all have access to the same ingredients, then what’s the difference? This is a fair point. Attending ingredient trade shows, such as Supplier’s Day for formulators and chemists, exposes me to aisles teeming with individuals selling raw materials and prototypes. In theory, everyone can tap into these materials, but true innovation in skin ..read more

5 Reasons You’ll Love Rapid Response Detox Masque

Since my skincare beliefs are based on 9 Signature Skin Types, I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach to formulating products. With that being said, sometimes, a product that was formulated for one skin type can end up benefitting a lot of others, too. That’s what happened when I formulated the Rapid Response Detox Masque. Even though it was originally intended to fight hormonal breakouts, it addresses all kinds of other skin issues, too. Because of this, it quickly became one of our best-selling products. Here are five reasons I think you might love it too! The Benefits of the Rapi ..read more

In recent years, the emphasis on maintaining a healthy and resilient skin barrier has surged in popularity, yet the ingredients responsible for repair aren’t often talked about. As we approach 2024, a discernible trend is emerging – a shift towards skincare product formulations that speak to the science behind barrier repair. In case you don’t know about the skin’s barrier, here is what you first need to know. The moisture barrier is the outermost layer of the skin that helps retain water and protects it from external aggressors, like bacteria and environmental debris. Think of it like your sk ..read more

In today’s fast-paced world, carving out time for a spa visit can be a challenge, but that doesn’t mean you have to forgo the benefits of professional skincare treatments.

Skin barrier breakdown? Yep, that’s right – and we want that to happen in the way of fully drying out the skin’s barrier to encourage the peeling process. Let me explain. Since people are continually trying to mimic professional treatments at home, and a favorite of estheticians is a chemical peel, I predict at-home skin peels will be big in 2024 and I’m happy to encourage people how to do so. The concept of a HIIT workout (high-intensity interval training) is all about working really, really hard and then recovering. It’s the “no pain, no gain” philosophy. This concept can be applied to drivi ..read more

Between school, sports, extracurriculars, homework, and hanging out with friends, I’ve been amazed at the amount of time and effort that teenagers have been able to devote to maintaining an extensive skincare routine– at times maybe a bit too extensive. Thanks to TikTok, the rise in skincare routines amongst teens has been quickly trending upward. Not only is it great that there is a lot of education on how a teen should take care of their skin, but I also love the fun, feel-good aspect that it brings about.  I know this feeling all too well, as beauty and self-care have always been in my ..read more
