Allow me to commend you on having the good sense to care about the future of your skin!

People comment on my melanin shortage on a weekly basis. When I was at the beach, a stranger told me I “really needed” a tan before I dared to wear a bikini.

I recently discovered I didn't know the first thing about my baby's skincare. What else don't I know?

exfoliation
I've figured out two steps you can do before and after showering for the softest skin possible.
face
My skin care motto? Don't put all of your aesthetic eggs in one basket. Translation: Don't just trust your face wash alone.
skin
Skin problems, period-induced meltdowns and the magical drugstore buys that just might help take the edge off.
aa cream

I hate women who don't share their secrets. Share! I like sharing.

acne
Back in high school, when everyone’s skin was freakin’ out real bad, I would respond to my friends' complaints about their acne by telling them, “I don’t know what you’re talking about," because, “I’ve never had a pimple.” What. A. Dick.

There’s no real inspiration behind this look, but I think the words “disco hooker” do it justice. Take that as you will, but I think it’s super glamorous.

Because having great skin shouldn't break the bank.

Pick your target dates when you want to glowglowglow (like a bride or like someone who just had 26 orgasms or has lived in a hermetically sealed chamber of health and never encountered a toxin). The glowing will last for about 3 days.

Whatever your particular routine requires, you’re likely to find a safer, inexpensive, environmentally friendly alternative in the maternity section of your beauty boutique.

Being angry all the time is messing up a lot of things, but it’s really messing up your skin.
