Hi friends! How are you? How was the weekend? Ours was a great one. We went to the pumpkin patch with friends, enjoyed dinner with the fam, saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and I got some prep work done for an upcoming trip to Orlando. I’d love to hear what you were up to!

A small thing that has been bringing me joy lately: changing up my skincare routine. I started using Oliveda products at the beginning of the year (when I could tell that things with Beautycounter were heading south, I knew I’d need a replacement) and I’ve been blown away by the quality, ingredients, and results.

I LOVED the Beautycounter products and was happy for many years. At the same time, I feel like this is a step up from Beautycounter. The products feel even more luxe with a similar dedication to quality ingredients, and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin since I started using the products.

The lighting is different, but check out how much my WTF lines have changed!

For today’s post, I wanted to share some of my latest faves:

(since the products are so popular, they’re sometimes sold out. The company has grown exponentially and they’re drastically increasing inventory this year. If you’d like me to notify you when something is back in stock, leave a comment below, or I’m happy to share similar recs if something you want is OOS.)

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re enjoying the day and that you had a lovely weekend.

For today’s post, I wanted to share something new that I’ve tried recently: OneSkin. I’m always interested in trying new skincare brands, and when I found out about this during the Biohacking Conference, I was intrigued.

OneSkin is a brand that has been gaining attention for its science-backed approach to skincare, particularly in anti-aging. Today I wanted to chat about what OneSkin is all about, highlight some of their top products, discuss the costs, and weigh the pros and cons.

OneSkin review and if it’s worth the price

What Is OneSkin?

OneSkin is a biotechnology company focused on developing skincare solutions that target the root causes of skin aging at the molecular level. The brand’s mission is to extend skin health and longevity by reducing the biological age of the skin. Founded by a team of scientists with expertise in stem cell research, OneSkin combines cutting-edge research with high-quality ingredients to create products that promote healthier, more youthful skin.

I was able to hear founder Carolina Oilveira speak at the Biohacking Conference, and she was amazing! She talked about habits for healthy skin and how the OneSkin technology worked. They use what they’ve dubbed OS-01, which is a novel peptide that targets senescent cells. Dr. Cabral refers to these types of cells as “zombie cells,” as they cause oxidation, which in turn leads to inflammation and accelerated again.

Top Products

OneSkin offers a range of products designed to address various aspects of skin aging. I was definitely interested in trying the body products, like the SPF moisturizer and the body lotion.

Here are some of their standout offerings:

1. OS-01 Face

The flagship product, OS-01 Face, is a topical supplement designed to improve skin health and appearance. It contains the OS-01 proprietary peptide that targets senescent cell

aka “Botox in a bottle.” Sharing my thoughts and if it’s worth it here!

Hi friends! How’s the morning going? I hope you’re having an amazing day! I’m writing in with exciting news that the Oliveda 59 Corrective Face Serum is back in stock… but will sell out extremely fast, so if you’ve had your eye on it, snag it here!

This powerhouse serum has made a huge difference in my skin over the past month and a half, it’s viral for a reason (!), and I can’t wait for you to experience its magic, too.

Oliveda F59 Corrective Face Serum review

The Oliveda Story: Where It All Began

Before chatting about the serum, let’s talk a bit about the brand behind it. Oliveda was founded by Thomas Lommel, a visionary who turned his passion for the olive tree and natural healing into a revolutionary skincare line. Oliveda, part of the Olive Tree People brand, harnesses the power of the olive tree’s ingredients to create products that are as effective as they are natural. Their mission is to provide skincare that’s deeply nourishing and eco-conscious, transforming the ancient wisdom of the olive tree into modern beauty solutions.

Why F59 Corrective Face Serum is a Game Changer

Nicknamed “Botox in a Bottle,” this serum is designed to smooth, lift, and rejuvenate your skin, giving you a radiant and youthful appearance without the needles. As someone who’s mildly terrified of Botox (no shame if you love it! Just not for me right now), I’m always looking for safer alternatives that will keep my skin looking bright, tight, and smooth, without harmful ingredients.

Key Ingredients & Their Benefits:

This highly effective face serum with hydroxytyrosol and para cress has a lifting effect on the skin as well as it reduces the appearance of enlarged pores. Strong olive tree antioxidants have balancing and regenerating properties to smooth the skin structure. Fine lines and wrinkles as well as high pigmentation can be reduced if applied regularly. Para cress, a south american plant, works as a botox alternative by having positive effects on the collagen which lifts the skin. This unique face serum is quickly absorbed to create sculpted contours and a healthy and glowing complexion – in just seconds! Signs of premature aging can’t only be prevented but minimized.

Since Beautycounter made it’s announcement yesterday, we’re not quite sure when they’ll be back in action. I’m grateful for the experience but am parting ways with the company and looking forward to the next adventures. 

Hi friends!

I hope you’re having an amazing day so far! This week has been a wild one. We all had to re-audition for next year’s symphony season (got my spot but was super nervous!), it’s photo week at dance, Mother’s Day tea at school (one of my favorite events for the year), a charity event with Liv, and the usual dance/basketball/homework scramble, in between client calls and some other exciting things (one will be annouced tomorrow!).

So I’ve been running around like a chicken, and in between everything, Beautycounter dropped a bomb yesterday.

Here’s a copy of the email that I sent to my clients:

I hope that you’re having a wonderful week. Just wanted to pop in with a quick note and update about Beautycounter. I shared more on IG stories a couple of weeks ago, but our founder, Gregg Renfrew, bought the company back from the investment group Carlyle. They didn’t seem to align with Beautycounter’s mission, and the company had been in a bit of a rough spot for the past couple of years.

I took a step back to watch and see what was going to happen, and was really excited to hear that Gregg was back at the forefront of the company. We launched the fragrance line – I loooooved it!! – and it felt like momentum was building.

Needless to say, I was surprised to hear the news that the website was going down in April with the transfer of the business. It didn’t seem like a good sign to me, but I remained cautiously optimistic. They’ve encountered some hurdles along the way that have delayed the re-opening of the website. They originally stated it would be up May 1, but it wasn’t ready to go. The latest news today is that they think that it will be back in Q4… just in time for the holidays.

I’ve been a huge fan of Beautycounter and their mission for many years. I originally joined 9 years ago – when P was a tiny baby. I think that clean beauty and skincare should be accessible to everyone, and I’m really proud of the products I’ve shared and the legislation they’ve passed for safer beauty. I’m grateful for the incredible women who have been on my team — at one point there were over 100 of us! It was genuinely a “women supporting other women” vibe and I am here.for.that.

I’m also beyond thankful to all of YOU. Thank you for trusting me with skincare recommendations, for enjoying these amazing products, and for directly helping to support our family. For many years, BC was a significant part of my income, and I feel grateful every day for my *jobs* and the ability to connect with all my virtual BFFs online 🙂

I can recognize that things have changed with the company, and that it’s time to move on. I’ve expanded my clean skincare and beauty horizons over the past couple
