One smart cookie if you ask me, she has definitely played her cards right all of these years and she has the [...]

What the heck is a free radical, and why should I be concerned?

July 9, 2009

I remember in my early 20′s I had this “A-ha! moment” like– OH! Maybe I should start wearing sunscreen or something to that effect everyday because I don’t want to look like Leather Face! I was completely oblivious about skincare before I started studying basic skin anatomy & physiology when I first enrolled in cosmetology [...]
