It may seem like common sense, but the pandemic had a massive impact on our skin. We dealt with mascne to hair loss (your scalp *is* skin!); makeup took a backseat, and with so much time on our hands, we were able to think more about the efficacy of our own regimens and how impactful the ingredients we used were — for better our worse. We spent time wanting to restore our skin barrier and see resilience with our skin. Our haircare regimens became just as involved as our facial routine. And by wa...
