Why Switch To Bar Soap?
My parents bought Irish Spring at Costco when I was a kid, so I'm no stranger to bar soap. But, as an adult, it's never been my go-to for washing my face; until now. Bar soap has come a long way since the 80s, and I'm here for it. Today's cleansing bars are a far cry...

Product Review: Biologique Recherche P50 1970
I don't know about you, but I think experiencing acne in my 30s is unacceptable! I have enough to deal with as a mom, wife, angry pharmacist, business owner, etc. Not to mention, now more than ever, I want to feel comfortable and confident in my makeup-free skin. Not...
