This post is going to assume that you, like me and so many others, have fallen down the Skincare Rabbit Hole of whence there is no return.
Welcome to the dark side, friend. We have snail slime.
Now that you’re here, it’s probably VERY tempting to go wild and buy an entire new 10-step routine based on rave reviews from other people.
Let me stop you right there.
IT’S A TRAP.
I like researching extracts. I spend an inordinate amount of time decoding ingredient lists and then falling down the rabbit hole of reading about all of the cool stuff they can do.
One day, I will absolutely be starting a series spotlighting some of the most common and fun extracts, but for now, I’m going to leave you guys with something that I find to be helpful: another pretty picture.
If I’m being lazy or need a quick reference for a certain ingredient, I like having graphics to share with people or refer back to. People are more likely to remember things when they look cute! …and by people, I mainly just mean me…and I’m projecting onto you guys so I have an excuse for spending too much time making these graphics.
ANYWAYS. Here’s the first of (probably) many.
Enjoy! <3

Remember that UPF clothing is probably the best non-sunscreen invention ever, and always go wild with SPF application.
I’m a “sheet mask every day” kinda girl. Sheet masking helps me with the constant battle I’m fighting against dehydrated skin.
That being said, it can be a bit of an expensive habit if I’m not careful. This is why I’m always on the lookout for inexpensive, decent masks.
Today I’m going to share a couple of the best, most affordable masks I’ve tried.
This week, we’re going to continue with our theme of boosting collagen production without breaking the bank.
(If you missed it, I’ve previously covered why collagen in skincare and supplements doesn’t work and the collagen-boosting benefits of topical vitamin C.)
Today’s post is going to be all about vitamin A, aka retinol or retinoids.
