Clearing Space, Finding Calm: The Art of Cleaning Out Your Skincare Cabinet

Lifestyle / By

There’s something strangely emotional about cleaning out your skincare cabinet. You open the door expecting to tidy up a few bottles, and suddenly you’re surrounded by the ghosts of routines past—half-empty jars, that serum you swore you’d finish, the moisturizer that was almost perfect until your skin decided otherwise. But here’s the thing: this simple […]

Do You Need a Different Skincare Routine for Your Neck and Chest?

Skincare / By

You’ve nailed your facial routine: cleanser, treatments, serums, SPF. But what about your neck and chest (aka the décolletage)? If those areas sometimes look more “aged” or textured than your face, there’s a reason — and yes, a few tweaks can make a big difference. Here’s what’s going on under the skin (literally), why the

Why We Use Glass (and What It Says About Our Values)

Skincare / By

When most people think about skincare, they picture silky serums, velvety creams, or the fresh scent of botanicals. Packaging? It’s usually an afterthought. But here’s the truth: what holds your skincare matters almost as much as what’s inside it. That’s why we’ve made the conscious choice to use glass—not plastic—for our products. On the surface,

Why We Love Cold-Pressed Oils (and What They Really Do for Your Skin)

Ingredients / By

For years, skincare marketing told us oils were the enemy—that they clog pores, cause breakouts, and make skin greasy. But when you look at the science, plant oils (especially cold-pressed ones) tell a very different story. They’re some of the most nutrient-dense, skin-supportive ingredients you can use—and when you understand why, it’s hard not to

Your Skin Doesn’t Need to Be “Fixed” — It Needs to Be Heard

Skincare / By

I used to think skincare was all about correction. Fine lines? Correct them. Breakouts? Correct them. Dryness? Correct it. Every magazine headline, every commercial, every product label seemed to echo the same message: your skin is flawed, and it’s your job to fix it. But one day it hit me—my skin wasn’t broken. It wasn’t

Exfoliation feels good, doesn’t it? There’s something about buffing away that dull top layer of skin that makes you feel instantly fresher. But here’s the tricky part: too much of a good thing can backfire. If you’ve ever noticed your skin looking more irritated than radiant, there’s a chance you’re over-exfoliating.

What’s the Shelf Life of Natural Skincare—And How to Make Yours Last

Skincare / By

If you’ve ever watched strawberries go from plump to “hmm, not today,” you already understand natural skincare. Just like fresh produce, the closer you are to the production date, the better the experience—scent, texture, and potency. That doesn’t mean everything suddenly “goes bad” on day 366, but it does mean freshness matters. First things first:

Why We Formulate With Floral Waters Instead of Just Distilled Water

If you’ve ever turned a skincare bottle around and peeked at the ingredients, you’ve probably noticed that the first ingredient is often water. And most of the time, that means plain old distilled water. Nothing wrong with it—it’s clean, neutral, and gets the job done. But here’s the thing: at Simple Body, we don’t stop
