Sometimes you just need a simple eye cream
I try a lot of skincare products. Often, that means that I need to find some products for my routine that won’t compete with the active ingredients I’m testing out. So, when it comes to eye creams, I need something basic, just enough to do the job of providing moisture, but not trying to do…

Visiting the Guerlain Spa
Some how I found out that there were Guerlain Spas in the U.S. Even better, there was one right there in Boston, just walking distance from where I would be staying. During a week where I’d be treating myself, I could not pass up this opportunity. I booked the tailor-made treatment. Based on my needs,…

Okay, your skin’s tattling on your diet.
I am still working to change my habits. It’s tough to change my diet to take better care of my health. I know it is important, I know it’s needed, but that doesn’t make it any easier. But I’m learning more and more how diet can impact facial appearance. What you eat could potentially impact…

The other change I’m making
I don’t know what to write about today. I am trying to understand my skin, through the lens of my health. Last week I wrote about how I will finally start drinking the recommended servings of water. This week, I suppose it’s fitting to say that I will also start exercising consistently. The importance of…

I hadn’t thought about this part of skin aging before
The room was filled with women-founded, women-focused products. I noticed a moisturizer, specific for menopausal women: Versalie Hydrating Facial Moisturizer. As a skincare enthusiast and a skeptic, I was doubly intrigued. Was it really worth it, or was it just marketing to capture a key consumer group? I am not in that consumer group, but…

What I noticed about my skin after doing the Sakara detox
When Whitney Tingle and Danielle Dubose started Sakara, a huge motivation for doing so was a food-based approach to healing acne. In a cruel fit of irony, I have ended the Sakara summer program with some of the worst acne I have ever experienced. I am sitting here now with large bumps along my left…

Let your food be your skincare
What did you eat for breakfast yesterday? What about lunch, or dinner, or your snacks? What did you drink? Chances are that you don’t remember. Many people don’t, but I would guess you have a general idea of what types of food you eat on a regular basis. What if I told you that what…

Is your moisturizer really the problem?
I had this journey of trying to find the perfect moisturizer. Everything was a disappointment. But when even the expensive moisturizer that I once raved about failed me, I had to start looking elsewhere. I knew the answer wasn’t what I was putting on my skin. It was all about what was coming from within.…

Another round of the Skin Infusion
I decided to do another round of the Augustinus Bader Skin Infusion. This time, I started with the Skin Infusion facial their Skin Lab in New York City. I still have one vial of the treatment left to go. And I started this program well over a month ago. And that is a problem. This…

A trip the Augustinus Bader spa
Nestled in Soho is the Augustinus Bader Skin Lab NYC. You just have to find it first. I walked up and down Greene Street certain that my maps had misdirected me. There is no sign on the door. You just have to trust your directions. Finally, I approached the shop at the address and greeted…
