My skincare routine during fashion week consists of: 1. Cleansers The Black…
It’s something we do every day, so it’s a bit of a shocker that experts say we may have been washing our faces all wrong. For starters, (bad news face wipe fans), face wipes are about as good for our skin as they are for the environment – although, we already kind of new that one. But even for those wedded to their creamy cleanser or micellar water, lots of us are making the same common mistakes that can mean we’re not getting rid of…

In the world we live in, it’s impossible to avoid every single thing that could damage your skin. Aging is normal, and we don’t like to give too much weight to the concept of anti-aging. We aren’t anti–the inevitable, and we tend to think aging is really beautiful. We like to age supportively— graceful aging doesn’t necessarily mean fighting it completely. That being said, there are factors out there that expedite signs of aging, making us feel more dull, saggy, uneven, congested,…
