WHY do pimples always show up at the worst time?! I'm fortunate - I rarely get breakouts, but when I do, I've got a handful of products on hand that make all the difference in the world. My (not-so-secret) weapons: Retinol- there are two types of retinol I reach for - an RX retinol from [...]

Ole Henriksen Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment Review
It's been a minute since I've done a skincare *product* review - but Ole Henriksen recently sent over a bottle of their newest product release, The Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment, so it felt like the right time to get back to writing!

Sephora Spring Sale Recommendations (2020)
For some of us, beauty may be the last thing on our minds. The world is in an insane state of worry and uncertainty.
