The GlowGetters Guide

When creating a skincare routine, certain products stand out as non-negotiables. Things like a good cleanser for your skin type, a daytime light-but-still-luxurious moisturizer, SPF, and even an exfoliator or serum to go the extra mile come immediately to mind. You may step back and look at the line-up of products you’ve assembled and think you have everything you need to ward off impurities and excess oil… and then you’re talking to your friend, and...

When it comes to designing your skincare routine, the best place to start is by making a list of the issues you’d like to tackle. There are so many skincare products that are advertised as game changers for every skin complaint — and while maybe, sometimes, that’s actually true, the most important thing to pay attention to when you’re choosing products is the ingredients. But when you break down every possible serum, for instance, and...

If your skin is anything but even and bright all the time, you’ve probably looked into different treatments to improve your skin’s appearance. This is probably especially true if you struggle with common but frustrating skin complaints like hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, blemishes, or even just noticing the first fine lines starting to develop around your eyes or forehead. Many of us are always on the lookout for the miracle product that will resurface our...

We’ve all been there. You wake up bright and shiny from a good night of sleep and a stellar bedtime skincare routine, ready for the big party or event you have planned for the evening. Feeling like sunshine itself, you fling open the curtains, flounce over to the bathroom, splash water on your face like a face wash advertisement, look into the mirror, and — there’s a huge, angry red pimple on your lip. Unlike...

There’s nothing more frustrating than knowing that the only thing standing between you and glowing skin are hyperpigmentation scars. At the same time, there are several different causes of hyperpigmentation, one of the most frustrating being Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation is what happens when your skin starts producing too much melanin at the site of skin irritation. If you had acne growing up, for example, you might find as you get older that the...

Acne and breakouts become part of your life in your teen years. Those memories of desperately covering up a smattering of blemishes with a cakey drugstore foundation before a school dance are yours to cherish even as you find relief from your wildly vacillating hormones when you get into your twenties, and your acne hopefully calms down as a result. But even if you’re past the days of constant pimples and redness, acne and breakouts...

It’s one of the most common skin problems in the world — and one of the most annoying. If you’ve struggled with acne, it probably started appearing around puberty. And while many of you will probably be lucky enough to have your acne subside as you get older, others may have to deal with breakouts pretty much forever. Even if your skin isn’t particularly acne-prone, pimples and zits are just an unfortunate part of life....

If you’re prone to acne and pimples, a good face wash can be the holy grail. Especially if your breakouts are due to oily skin, washing your face in the morning and the evening can leave you feeling like a totally new person — but it doesn’t necessarily get rid of your acne and blemishes. Sometimes, cleansers that leave you feeling the cleanest aren’t actually the best for your acne-prone skin. If your cleanser formula...
