Retinol Rookie? Here’s How To Start Without Freaking Your Skin Out

Today, we’re helping a youbie who’s 36 and totally new to retinol. We're breaking down where to start, what to use, and how to avoid frying your face (we promise, it’s easier than it sounds.)

We’re also tackling the great powder debate. If you’re dealing with fine lines, combo skin, and powders that kill your glow, we’ve got tips on what to use, how to keep that dewy finish, and whether it’s time to ditch powder altogether.
