January 1, 2025

Hello and welcome to Skintuition! I’m so glad you could join me here. My name is Megan, and I will be your guide through the wilds of skincare. And, trust me, it’s going to get pretty wild.

I want to clarify one important thing before we start. I am not a skincare expert. I am not a dermatologist or an esthetician. I am a lifelong skincare enthusiast whose experience and knowledge give me enough confidence to share my opinions.

For the most part, I will be writing from a consumer’s perspective. I also want to note that none of the content you see here is monetized, and I am not affiliated with any particular brand or organization. Should that change, I pledge to do my best to be honest and transparent.

I aim to educate people on the basics of skincare and encourage them to build a simple, minimal, and inexpensive skincare routine. I want to create awareness of how the beauty industry manipulates consumers and plays on insecurities to get them to buy expensive and unnecessary products. I want to familiarize readers with beauty industry buzzwords and explain how they're used to market and sell products.

Finally, and most importantly, I want to promote self-care, educate my readers on skincare’s role in creating a happier, healthier, and more relaxed lifestyle, and encourage people to love and accept themselves. After all, skincare should be a fun and positive experience, not something that drains your bank account, causes anxiety, and robs you of the time you want to spend enjoying other things.

So, if you’re willing, let me guide you to a simpler, healthier skincare routine. One that will leave you feeling satisfied in both body and mind, and gives you plenty of room to nourish yourself in other ways.

Are you ready? Let’s go!

Whom among us could resist the allure of Old Hollywood? Glossy red lips, fluffy pink powder puffs, and glittering gold compacts created a glamorous aura that most of us can only dream of. However, even the most beautiful flowers can be poisonous, and while vintage Hollywood may seem like a dazzling oasis in a desert of the mundane, it was not without its problems.

Needles and scalpels and lasers, oh my!

When it comes to making skincare decisions, the sheer number of treatment options can be overwhelming. It seems that the more you delve into the topic, the more complex and confusing the information becomes. And while I personally prefer topical treatments, others may want to explore their options further.

Even though I’m a hardcore skeptic when it comes to gimmicky skincare trends, I still recognize that it can be difficult to stay focused on a simple, no-nonsense routine. New ingredients, new products, and new trends are constantly emerging, and it can be challenging not to get distracted. After all, even the most tried-and-true routine can get a bit dull. But while many skincare trends are easy to ignore, skin cycling may be one trend that’s worth a second look.
