Skincare 101: The Best Way to Use Hyaluronic Acid in your Routine
Hyaluronic Acid is produced naturally in our bodies, and when applied topically, it can give you an amazing moisture boost and can plump your skin, reducing the appearing of fine lines and wrinkles. Sounds like a miracle, I know, but it's science! However HA isn't the most straightforward ingredient to incorporate into your skincare routine, and using it incorrectly can actually dehydrate your skin.

Battling Dry and Dehydrated Winter Skin with My Favorite Moisturizers
As an oily-skinned girl, I always notice my oiliness increase at the start of cold-weather season. If you notice you become oily in cold weather as well, it's often because your skin isΒ dehydrated and it's trying to overcompensate by producing extra oil. So my increased oiliness is usuallyΒ a sign that I need to start stepping up my moisturizer game. Let me introduce you to four of my favorite moisturizers for the fall and winter season.

My Favorite Hydrating Wash-Off Mask This Fall
Like all Farmacy products, Honey Potion includes hydrating honey sourced from their farms in upstate New York. According to the brand, the bees pollinate their trademarked GreenEnvy flowers, which infuses their honey with antioxidants. The sticky honey-textured mask lathers into a rich cream and produces a warming sensation when applied. The first time I used it,Β I didn't realize it was supposed to warm up so I was somewhatΒ alarmed - but don't fret! It's totally normal and after knowing what to expect, I really appreciate the warmth and I'll welcome it with open arms during particularly cold days. The warming sensation stayed pretty consistent during the 15 minutes that I let the mask sit, but it wasn't overwhelming.

Sun Bum: A Sunscreen Love Story
One of the highlights of my summer was discovering Sun Bum! I'm pretty serious about sunscreen, and it's paying off as I learned during my visit to Atolla Skin Lab and when I found out that I have no signs of sun damage.Β Before going on a cruise last month, I asked for body sunscreen recommendations, and so many of your answers said I should give Sun Bum a try! Sun Bum's products are vegan and reef-safe, and in addition to all of their sunscreens having broad spectrum SPF ratings, they also all contain Vitamin E which helps to combat free radical damage and is intensely moisturizing.

Uncomplicating Skincare: How to Layer Your Skincare Products
Itβs so easy to get overwhelmed when adding a new product to your routine because youβre not sure how to use it. And, honestly, I get it. Thereβs so much information out there on how or when and if you should use a product and itβs a lot to take in.My unpopular opinion? Stop worrying about it! Sort of.

The Pubic Hair Oil I Didn't Know I Needed In My Beauty Routine
I love so much about Fur Oil from the beautiful packaging to how soothing it feels on my legs post-shave. But I'm also in love with the ethos of this brand and how they're taking steps to normalize body hair on women.

Review: Sunday Riley for Acne-Prone Skin
After enjoying my first Sunday Riley PurchaseΒ earlier this year, I was eager to try more of their products. And since I'm constantly looking for products that control oil and treat acne, I decided to test out the Space Race collection which includes the: Martian Mattifying Toner, UFO Oil, and Martian Mask. I've slowly goldilocks-ed my way through each of the 3 products, one of which was absolutely not the right fit for me and another that I'd repurchase in a heartbeat.

Kiehlβs Butterstick Lip Treatment SPF 25
Sunscreen is necessary on every part of your body that gets exposed to the sun. And a few weeks ago I realized Iβd been making a terrible mistake: I wear sunscreen every single day without fail, but my lips have been totally unprotected!

Do Fermented Ingredients Benefit Your Skin?
I recently received this Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner to test from iUNIK, a Korean-based brand focused on helping your skin with its offering of minimalist, natural products at a reasonable price point. I love rose toners because they smell great and they're gentle, hydrating, and calming on my skin. But the word 'galactomyces' really threw me off - I had absolutely no idea what Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (GFF) was in the ingredients list so I decided to do some digging.

Now that I own a facial roller, there's no turning back. I use it every night and have seen so many benefits already. But the biggest and most important benefit for me is: it feels amazing!

Skincare Mistakes You Might Be Making
As promised, in this post I'm going to be talking about some of the biggest skincare mistakes I made before I started researching skincare. I'm also going to be mentioning some products/ingredients you should avoid in your routine.Most of these skincare mistakes took place when I was in middle school and high school, dealing with intense acne. Whenever I had a particularly bad breakout, I would deal with it by attacking it with harsh products. Since then, I have done much more research on how to take care of my skin and have learned the error of my cringe-worthy ways!
