This Natural Alternative to Retinol Is Trending In the Skincare World

That's why I was intrigued when I started hearing about bakuchiol (pronounced: bah-koo-chee-ole), a buzzy ingredient being touted as a "natural alternative" to retinol, especially safe for sensitive skin (including pregnant women). To learn more about the magic of bakuchiol, I consulted Dr. Gretchen Frieling, a Boston-based board certified Dermatopathologist and Michael McGeever, Chief Product and Merchandising Officer at Beautycounter, to break down everything you need to know. She also says you may not want to use retinol if you're pregnant because "some studies have also shown that vitamin A is detrimental to unborn babies."McGeever cited similar retinol side effects. The nice thing about bakuchiol is that bakuchiol actually is able to deliver those benefits without the issues of overloading the skin and getting skin irritation."That being said, if you use retinol regularly and experience no adverse effects, you don't necessarily need to switch to bakuchiol.

The Weirdly Effective Beauty Treatment That Uses a Scalpel

YouTuber who created a video about how she shaves her "peach fuzz," aka vellus hair. Estheticians started incorporating it as an add-on to their treatments in the past few years as a way to professionally remove hair from your face without lasers, tweezers, wax, or other painful alternatives. It felt like someone gently scratching along my skin Farah mentioned that people generally really like getting dermaplaning done because it’s a very gentle way to get rid of peach fuzz, exfoliate a little bit, and improve the skin’s overall texture. (my facial hair grows ridiculously fast), but I am absolutely a dermaplaning believer now, and can’t wait to have the treatment done again and again.

5 Women on What It's Actually Like to Have Universal Health Care

It’s a government program administered by the ministry of health and welfare—the insurance is a compulsory social insurance plan everyone has to join. I do have private health insurance, but that’s because the government encourages you to have private health insurance otherwise you pay a levy in your tax at end of financial year. Every time I take my daughter to the doctor it’s bulk billed, meaning it’s a Medicare covered thing, so I don’t have to pay for it. Then we got to the counter and because she didn’t have private health insurance it cost us nothing, where it was costing other people between $900 to $1,200 per scan for people.
