Our skin NEEDS estrogen. So how is it that a hormone that we associate with our ovaries and reproduction has such far reaching effects on our appearance?

I'll share something here - I cannot remember ever evaluating a skincare brand that had more research and substantiation behind it. Ever. In fact, with OneSkin I would say that, as exciting as it is for me to talk about the product itself (actually more than one product - as I'll get to in a few minutes) this is a c

I’m so happy to share my latest routine to look after my skin. I’ll soon be 48 years old, and I’m even more committed than ever to spend the time on myself (skincare and other care) to make sure I’m the best me I can be. Of course, I LOVE skincare, so some of you might find my routine a bit ‘extra’ (it is 😉). I hope some of you will be ‘extra’ along with me, but don’t feel obliged!
