I tried it: The Vampire Facial
I am always on the hunt for something that will address my skin issues: hyperpigmentation, pores/acne, texture and anti-aging. So when I learned more about the benefits of microneedling, and more specifically microneeding with PRP (also known as the Vampire Facial made famous by the Kardashians) I knew this was something right up my alley.

Product Review: The Ordinary 30% AHA + 2% BHA Peeling Solution
BOO! Nope, it's not your friend's gory Halloween makeup, it's The Ordinary's 30% AHA + 2% BHA peeling solution!

Product Review: Dr. Jart Dermaclear Trans-foam Clay Trio

Use lotion but just never feel like you have enough moisture afterwards? Although embarrassed by your snaky scaly self, [...]
Tips for layering products
These days there are so many products out there. Add in getting older or troubled skin and you end up having a bed time routine that rivals painting the Sistine Chapel.

Why I don’t wear makeup to work everyday. And it’s not what you think
Makeup and skincare is a beautiful thing. It's something that I love (clearly, since I'm devoting my precious little free time to proclaiming to anyone who will listen to me how awesome it is). As much as I love makeup, I also shy away from it. Why you ask? It's pretty simple. Yes, not wearing [...]
