The Skin Type Myth, Busted!
6 months 3 weeks
Many companies in the business of “Big Beauty” have capitalized on the notion of a customized skincare plan based on your particular skin type.

This pattern occurs throughout nature and can been seen in the markings on penguins and moths, in the growth patterns of flower petals, the shapes of seeds, and the spiraling patterns of sea shells, to name a few. The same principles are applied to the features of our face and body.
As we age, these ratios change due to bone, fat, and muscle deterioration...
