  At the recent W.E.L.L. Summit in Boston, I had the pleasure of taking a workshop with Jolene Hart, who wrote Eat Pretty—a book that teaches you how to eat for healthy skin.

  Say the words “exfoliating mask” to me and I’m all in. Add protein to the mix, and I’m beyond intrigued. Sometimes simple is so right, as is the case with Osmia Organic’s Protein Exfoliating Mask. Four ingredients work together to provide an experience that is both rich and vigorous. Any dry patches will be […]
