Free Radicals and Why You Need Antioxidant Skincare
From the way cosmetics companies talk about free radicals, you’d think we’d need to call a priest to exorcise every last one out of our bodies.

Sexual Wellness Brands Have Officially Entered the Beauty Space. Here's Why it Matters.
Brands like maude have really taken the initiative to emphasize that skincare and body care isn't limited to just moisturizers and scrubs. The products we use for sexual health can be just as important as our skincare routines.Not only are brands like maude opening up the conversation about a topic that was once considered taboo (gasp sex and self-pleasure!); they're also helping us re-frame the way we think about sexual wellness products and how they're marketed and sold.

Kairetool is The Beauty Tool That Might Just Replace My Facial Roller
Selfkaire developed a tool that addresses the drawbacks of a traditional roller. It's made of surgical steel, so it's much sturdier than a traditional roller which is great for those of us that like to apply more pressure when massaging, and the gentle rounded pins at the end can be used to target acupressure points. Plus a huge bonus: it looks great on my vanity. But what I love most about Kairetool is that it's more than just a beauty tool. It's incredibly versatile and it can be used on your body as well!
