IAN LEE
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
"Recently, as I've been having monthly facial hair removal sessions (in order to get to the root of skin irritation), less is truly more. In selecting post-treatment products, I avoid AHA/BHA, benzoyl peroxide, sodium lauryl sulfate and other chemical detergents. During this time, my go-to has most certainly been sunscreen."
HANAN HADDAD
DIGITAL EDITOR
"Beyond beautiful packaging and viral marketing, I always look for efficacy and effectiveness with a 'less is more' approach as a beauty consumer. When it comes to skincare, I'm constantly keeping an eye out for ingredients that soothe and balance out actives that do the heavy lifting. I'm a strong believer that a solid routine doesn't have to break the bank and that formulas reign supreme."
MELISSA MAE
SENIOR BEAUTY AND DIGITAL WRITER
"Always remember to take your makeup off before bed. Never sleep with your hair wet. Avoid leaving your vitamin C serums out in your hot and humid bathroom. Change up your hair parting every couple of months. Test fragrances on your skin before purchasing them. And never exfoliate more than twice a week!"
