Collagen supplements – are they worth it? Photo by Maria Shipakina In short, yes, if they’re taken in powdered form without the addition of unnecessary fillers.

Our body needs water in order to function…

Why I believe in healthy skin and not perfect skin

Help us to dispel myths

Healthy skin is in. There is no such thing as perfect skin. Perfect skin is an illusion perpetuated by everyone. I don’t think we can blame the media alone or magazines or publishers or brand owners or image retouchers or camera/app filters or social media or influencers.

Before setting up my skincare company, I worked (and still do sometimes) in advertising, where…
