Winter Skincare Tips for Ethnic Skin from 303 Face I Body

Winter weather is harsh on your skin -- often leaving you with dehydrated skin on your face, chapped lips and brittle cracked feet. Not a pretty picture. But there are steps you can take to keep your skin supple and moisturized. To help you get a summertime glow, even during a snow storm, Everything She Wants chatted with 303 Face | Body founder Marci Lundy about her products and her winter skincare regimen. Everything She Wants: What motivated you to start your own skincare business? Marci Lundy: After moving to Colorado from Southern California in 2010, my skin was screaming for moisture!! Although beautiful, the state of Colorado leaves your skin horribly dry. The products that I used in California were a no-go here in Colorado. I took the knowledge that I already had about shea butter and aloe vera and began creating body balm blends, as well as doing a lot of homework on a myriad of oils and butters. Over the course of a year, I began testing the products on both...

What Causes Adult Acne and How to Treat It?

For those of us who struggled with acne as adolescents, the last thing we want to do is deal with adult acne. Like when we were teens, adult acne can be embarrassing and cause us to feel less confident at work and in social interactions. What causes adult acne? According to WebMD , adult acne is caused by sebum, an oily substance produced by the skin's sebaceous glands. Sebum clogs pores, which attracts bacteria and become inflamed. For some adults, breakouts are a result of hypersensitivity or the overproduction of male hormones known as androgens. An imbalance in both male and female hormones (estrogen) can also cause breakouts. In women, this can happen during pregnancy, perimenopause  and menopause. Besides hormones, some medications and cosmetics also contribute to developing acne. How to treat adult acne? Gentle cleansers are a good option. We apply our favorite cleanser to our Vitagoods Face & Body Cleansing Brush, and that routine has worked wond...
