You’ve probably heard of retinol, but do you know what it is and why you should or shouldn’t be using it?

To put it simply, retinol is a liquid exfoliant that is derived from Vitamin A! It helps your skin to resurface its newer, smoother looking skin not only through exfoliation, but by helping your skin’s production of collagen and elastin.

So, is this something that people of all ages should be using? Not at all! The younger you are, the smoother your skin is, therefore a retinol is unnecessary. We recommend using a retinol starting around your thirties. Until then, focus more on hydration and moisturizing. Your skin will thank you later!

Even though smooth, young looking skin is something that we all want, retinol isn’t the answer for everyone! Each of us all have different skin types, sensitivities, and needs. So, what works well for one person may be too harsh for someone else. This is why we urge everyone to talk to a professional before using retinol.

If you have ANY questions about retinol and whether or not it’s right for you, please feel free to contact us! 💓
