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.
My aim is 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 leave plenty of room for you to nourish yourself in other ways.
Are you ready? Let’s go!
