Retinol has become a hot topic in the world of skincare over the last few years, widely touted as a groundbreaking ingredient with the power to turn back the clock and transform skin. While it’s true that retinol can unclog pores and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, regular use of retinol products isn’t without its risks. If you’re curious about whether you should incorporate retinol into your skincare routine, here’s how this so-called miracle ingredient actually works. 

Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A that has been proven to stimulate cell turnover and collagen production. When applied topically, it penetrates the skin’s surface and enhances the regeneration of skin cells, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation over time. 

Pros

Retinol can slow and even reverse signs of aging, unclog pores, and improve skin texture. Additionally, it can help fade acne scars and promote an even skin tone. 

Cons

By increasing cell turnover, however, retinol can cause certain side effects like dryness and irritation. It can also increase sun sensitivity, so it’s recommended to apply retinol products at night and apply plenty of SPF during the day to protect against sunburn.

Proper Usage

The best way to harness the power of retinol is to introduce it gradually into your skincare routine. Begin with a low-concentration product and apply it every other night. As your skin acclimates, you can increase the frequency to nightly use. Remember to cleanse and dry your face thoroughly before applying retinol and follow with a moisturizer to mitigate dryness.

If you have a duvet, you’re probably familiar with the horrible sight of a wrinkled bed. Even when you make and style it perfectly, the wrinkles are so distracting it still looks messy. Wrinkles are a powerful enemy, and if you want your bed to look like a beautiful fluffy cloud, you need to find a way to fix this problem quickly and easily. 

In the past, you may have broken out the iron and ironing board and physically smoothed out each wrinkle in the sheets. What if we told you there’s a hack and the iron isn’t even necessary? It’s true. Here’s how to de-wrinkle your bed sheets!

Step 1

First, you’ll want to make your bed as usual, but make sure that the duvet is pulled to the corners tightly. You don’t want any extra creases or wrinkles before you move on to the next step.

Step 2

Fill a spray bottle with regular water. If you want to add a scent to your sheets, you can add a little fabric softener, but this is not necessary. 

Step 3

Mist the water over the bedsheets, smoothing out the wrinkles as you go. As the bedsheets dry, you’ll see that they don’t reappear where you’ve smoothed them out!
