Take Your Skincare to the Next Level with This Guide by Popular K-Beauty Blogger Jude Chao

 

Have you always longed for that fresh, glowing, no-makeup look? With this step-by-step guide, anyone can attain healthy skin with confidence. But Skin Care for Your Soul takes it one step further―it guides you to a place where skincare is also self-care.

The skincare journey. As much as we’d like it to, glowing, clear skin doesn’t happen overnight. But there is beauty in the process―not just the results. Author Jude Chao links skincare to self-care culture, giving readers a practical guide to developing their ideal skincare routine and using it to help manage stress, anxiety, and depression. The Korean skincare routine invites us to look at our skincare not only as a way to reduce lines and wrinkles or clear up breakouts, but as a tool for developing our self-care habits.

Dive into her book on K-beauty and discover:

  • An easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to skincare
  • A clear breakdown of skincare products (not brands), and pros and cons to help customize your routine
  • How skincare can be a reliable and effective mental health management tool
  • Tips for avoiding common types of exploitative and manipulative beauty marketing

If you enjoyed books like The Little Book of Skin CareThe Skincare Bible, or Glow from Within, then you’ll love Skincare for Your Soul.

Sunscreen, snail slime, and a sense of fun: Jude Chao has been tying skincare to self-care since 2015, when her essay, “How My Elaborate Korean Skincare Routine Helps Me Fight Depression,” appeared on Fashionista.com. Since then, she’s published steadily as a freelance beauty writer and on her blog, Fifty Shades of Snail, helping countless readers improve both their skin and their lives by harnessing the power of a skincare routine as a tool for managing mental health.

About the Author

Jude has been featured in NYMag The Cut, called “the reigning queen of skincare” by NYMag The Strategist, and included in W’s list of “the Korean beauty experts you should follow on Instagram.” She remains active in online beauty communities and works in marketing and consulting for Korean and American beauty brands.

You can follow along with her daily skincare routines (and cat obsession) on Instagram, where she posts as @fiddysnails.

OLIKA Hydrating Hand Sanitizers are on everyone’s list this year

This year it’s all about hand sanitizing.  Large bottles are in offices and on countertops, store shelves and Doctors offices. What my family likes are hand sanitizers that fit in the glove compartment, purses, gym bags and office desk drawers.   Olika Hand Sanitizers  has definitely filled their order.

These whimsical designed hand sanitizers are definitely a must have right now.The spray  mist kills 99.9% of germs with simple ingredients and 6 essential oil fragrances. You have a choice of 5 shades to choose from so there’s no excuse not to have one.

These 1 oz. bottles are formulated with 65% ethyl alcohol to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and its sanitizing spray offers over 500 mists to keep your hands clean. The gentle blend of aloe and glycerin prevent dry, cracked skin. Its unique and safe  design is soft-to-the-touch, TSA-friendly, and refillable which is a huge plus for my family.

No need to Twist off caps, touch public pump bottles or even touch press open caps, especially during a pandemic.  The convenient spray feature is the highlight of Olika Hand Sanitizers. It’s fast and easy.

Hand Sanitizer

If you are like me, constantly misplacing  items,  try OLIKA’S  Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Clip-On. The clip-on has the same effective  clean formula for “on-the-go”  sanitizing anytime, anywhere. The Clip-On is  petite and holds 300+ mists per package! Clip it to your bag, keychain, dog leash, anywhere really. Just like our original spray, OLIKA Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Clip-On is refillable, reusable + recyclable.

About OLIKA
Aptly describing their design process, engagement with customers, and all-over approach to hygiene, the founders behind this Nordic-inspired lifestyle brand chose to name themselves OLIKA – which means “differently” in Swedish. Believing that personal hygiene should do more than just “fill a void,” in your daily routine, they offer whimsically designed hand sanitizers that bring a little extra joy into your every day. Born out of a love of form and function, each thoughtfully crafted sanitizer is compact enough to accompany you on all of your adventures.

Calling All Doodle Dandies — Meet Rowan, The First Clean Beauty Brand For Dogs

With more people concerned about allergens in their homes there has been a significant rise in ‘hypo-allergenic’ breeds leading to the need for specific formulations for dogs with hair coats. Similar to the world of human hair care, different types of coats have different needs, which is why the team at Rowan has created specific products for fur and hair coats.

“At Rowan, we believe our pets deserve the same level of self-care that we give ourselves, and this commitment drives our choices every step of the way,” said Rowan co-founder Michelle Arnau. “Pet grooming products are relatively unregulated and companies can manufacture whatever they deem acceptable with little to no oversight. As picky pet parents, we set out to change that by using cleaner, human-grade ingredients that work and give our pups the pampering they deserve without compromising on clean.”

The brand also enlisted the help of Dr. Anthea Schick, a Board-Certified Veterinary Dermatologist. Dr. Schick said, “I am really excited to partner with Rowan co-founders Michelle and Sally on developing a line of clean skin and hair products for dogs with research, care, and joy. They truly understand the human-animal bond and have a curiosity about the science of skin and a passion for pets that rivals my own.”

The Rowan launch collection consists of five premium coat-care products including:

  • The Fur Wash – A hydrating wash for clean, glossy coats and nourished skin with Coconut Oil and Argan Oil.
  • The Hair Wash – A conditioning wash for soft, silky and tangle-free hair with Avocado Oil and Coconut Oil.
  • The Dry Shampoo – A waterless way to reduce odor and refresh coats in between baths with Aloe Vera and Baking Soda.
  • The Coat Refresh – A convenient spritz to refresh and condition coats in-between baths with Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera.
  • The Coat Shimmer – Everything’s better with sparkles. A shimmering coat creme made with edible Mica.

Rowan’s care for pets and the planet doesn’t stop with the ingredients inside. The finished product is packaged in recyclable packaging. Rowan is available exclusively via its Direct-to-Dog website retailing between $20-25. For more information about Rowan visit www.meet-rowan.com or catch the brand on social @meet_rowan.

ABOUT ROWAN
Rowan co-founders Michelle Arnau and Sally Clarke love dogs and think the only thing better than a dog is a clean dog. They also know a thing or two about clean, having worked together in the green cleaning, personal care and beauty industry for a combined 20+ years. They are taking that expertise and cleaning up the products used to keep our four-legged besties fresh by using human-grade, high-quality ingredients that leave coats shiny, skin healthy, and everyone smelling like coconuts. Michelle and Sally have also partnered with a Board-Certified Veterinary Dermatologist and an expert chemist to deliver safe, premium-sourced ingredients, manufactured in the United States and packaged in recyclable packaging. Learn more about how Rowan is transforming the pet coat-care industry at their Direct-to-Dog site meet-rowan.com or follow the brand on Instagram @meet_rowan.
