Rosehip oil has a big reputation, and the good news is that much of it holds up. 🌹

It's rich in linoleic acid, the fatty acid your barrier relies on to hold onto moisture, which is why it works for such a range of skin, from dry and winter-worn to breakout-prone. The catch: results build over weeks, and freshness matters. 🌿

Pore size is mostly genetic, but congestion makes pores look bigger. Keep them clear and they look smaller. 🔍

Look for salicylic acid to clear oil inside the pore, AHAs to smooth texture, niacinamide to help balance oil, and bakuchiol or retinoids to support cell turnover. For a same-day refine, reach for a clay mask. ✨

Lasting change takes 8 to 12 weeks, so add one active at a time. 🌿 Need help? Book a free consult with Sarah at the link in our bio.

Skincare doesn't last forever, even when the jar is still half full. 🫙

Flip your product over and look for the little open jar symbol. The number beside it (6M, 12M, 24M) tells you how many months it's at its peak after opening. Pair that with smart storage and your favourites stay fresh longer. 🌿

Quick tip: write the opening date on the bottom with a marker. ✍️

Oil and water aren't the same thing when it comes to your skin. 💧 Oily skin makes plenty of sebum but can still be dehydrated, especially in Calgary's dry indoor air, and tight, stripped skin means a stressed barrier.

You don't need a heavy cream. Try a lightweight gel moisturizer, or a linoleic-rich oil like rosehip, on damp skin after cleansing. 🌿

Have you been skipping your moisturizer? Be honest. 🤔

Tallow is having a moment, and it's easy to see why. It's rich, simple and full of fatty acids that feel familiar to skin. If you love it, keep loving it. 🤍

If it feels too heavy, clogs your pores, or doesn't fit your values, plant oils can do a lot of the same work. Shea butter for deep comfort on dry skin, rosehip for a lighter feel that supports the barrier, and jojoba, which is similar to the oil your skin makes. 🌿

Which one lives in your routine right now? Tell us below. 💧
