editor's notes Our health, lifestyle, and in some cases, environmental elements are some contributing factors that play a key role in achieving or having healthy looking skin. What we put on the inside of our body is just as important as what we put on the outside. How the environment interacts with our skin is just as important as how we interact with the environment. With that being said, our skin needs a lot of TLC not just externally, but internally, as well.

The first issue consist of four volumes entirely dedicated to all skintypes and complexions. With an emphasizes on nutrition, each volume focuses on components that nourish and aid the skin’s vitality. In doing so, we gain insight on the best skincare products out on the market that are reviewed by some of the most influentical people and discuss lifestyle, habits, and mental and physical health that affect the skin.

This magazine was created soley to help people find a new beginning and rework old ones. It acts as a simple reminder to respect ourselves by practicing self-love and self-care.
