This newsletter alleviates the fear of retinol, chemical exfoliants, peels, and PRP micro-needling by explaining what each ingredient and procedure actually does, who they suit, and how to use them without nasty side effects. We cover gentle retinol starts and why you should use it at night; how AHAs and BHAs brighten, clear pores and improve texture; the difference between light, lunchtime peels and deeper peels that need winter planning; and a clear walkthrough of the vampire facial, including candid notes on downtime, benefits and contraindications.
Read on for sunscreen and timing tips, post-treatment dos and don’ts, and the smart way to add these powerful tools into your routine so you get the results—without the drama.
