REVIEW: The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalene | My Favorite Anti-Aging Serum
Hello everyone! I’m Kaycee aka kikaysikat and I’ve been a retinol/retinoid user for almost 1 year now. Retinoids and its derivatives has been part of my daily skincare routine ever since I discovered the wonders of skincare acids (read: Skincare Acids 101). Today I’ll be reviewing what I’m currently using as of late; The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalene.

Dear Macho Mom: Why is Exfoliation Important?
Last month, there was a short debate going around social media regarding exfoliation and the use of moisturizers. Popular skincare business woman who we will call VB published an article that as people in the tropical country, we should only exfoliate and not moisturize. I highly disagree because I think keeping our skin moisturized creates a protective barrier and makes our skin easier to exfoliate. Kikaysikat Says: Both are important. Exfoliation and Moisturization. But today we’ll discuss the former. Why is Exfoliation Important? As we grow older, our cells regenerate slower. Meaning the body takes more time to shed dead skin cells and generate new ones. When the older cells accumulate on the skin’s surface,…
