when it gets cold outside, we must hydrate : here’s what you need
Well, it finally happened. The snow is here, and so is our dry & dull skin. It is proven that there is less moisture in the skin during winter than in the summer and fewer lipids in the skin barrier. This moisture loss contributes to our dryness and irritation. But don’t worry, Frida Babe - you aren’t alone!

frida’s recipe for glazed donut skin
Who would have thought a Krispy Kreme donut would be our 2022 skin inspiration? Arguably the best trend from this year so far is our desire for glazed donut skin like Hailey Bieber. This trend requires us to shy away from matte, thick makeup and gravitate towards dewy, glassy, fresh, hydrated skin. This look can be achieved with glossy makeup, but proper glazed donut skin is achieved with the right skin care.
transitioning your skin from summer to fall
If you are like me, you have overindulged in a few things by the end of these beautiful months. Possibly something like hot dogs, Aperol spritz and sun. It is common to feel dry, congested and dull after enjoying the beautiful weather and summer BBQs. Unfortunately, our skincare sometimes falls to the wayside when we have a lot going on, leaving us itching to get our routine and skin back on track for the fall.

skincare myths and what products actually help
While access to information doesn’t seem to be a problem these days, when it comes to the world of skincare, it feels like you have to put on your detective hat and try to filter through the stream of opinions that exist out there from people who don’t have a professional background in skincare *cough* TikTok and IG influencers *cough*. I’m sure you’ve heard your share of skincare advice that made your face scrunch up with skepticism, so today’s goal is to debunk some long-standing skincare myths.
skin type or skin condition, what is more important?
Everyone’s skin type is unique to them and sadly, we don’t have much say with the cards we are dealt. I’m sure you’ve heard the usual saying that if you have super visible pores all over your face then your skin type is oily, if your pores are small to non-visible all over then your skin type is dry, and if you fall somewhere between the two then your skin type is combination. The truth is, our skin is extraordinarily complex, much more than the traditional categories everyone talks about, and these classifications are missing a key consideration.
