Chances are, you’re already incorporating your favorite face serum into your daily skincare routine, but body serum is rarely given the same attention — even by those of us with fully stocked bathroom cabinets. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, yet it rarely gets targeted care below your neck. Part of the problem is finding products that deliver the same active ingredients for the rest of your body as they do for your face. Here at Tata Harper HQ, we’ve always emphasized that taking care of your skin should be a holistic experience. Inspired by that philosophy, we’re excited for you to meet our new Resurfacing Body Serum, our full body treatment for bright, smooth skin. It’s more than a lotion; it’s an anti-aging serum for your entire body.

In this world of skincare, we always seem to hear the word, “detox” getting tossed around. So, you may already be familiar with the fact that “detoxing” is the act of our body and skin ridding itself of toxins or any other harmful and potentially damaging substances. But while a lot of us are vaguely familiar with what it is, you may still be asking yourself why do I need to detox in the first place?

We get so many questions about Hydroxy Acids in our products that we chatted with our scientists to bring you the details on Alpha, Poly, and Beta Hydroxy Acids.

As the first step in your skincare regimen, finding a cleanser that works best for your skin type is critical. It can be easy to just select whatever cleanser or soap is available in the store, but doing this can cause real damage to your body's largest organ. Whether you wear makeup or not, the delicate skin on your face comes into contact with pollutants, impurities, and other debris all throughout the day. From the cleanser you start with, to the towel you use to dry off, being conscious of how you cleanse is ultra-important. 

In your skincare routine, do you really need to be using both a face oil and a moisturizer? The simple answer is yes, you do. And once we’ve broken it down you’ll understand why.

The purpose of an essence is to prepare clean skin for treatment by kick-starting the skin regeneration process, i.e., initiating cell turnover so that the top layer of the skin (dead skin cells) is shed to reveal “new” skin for improved radiance. The theory is that a new layer of skin cells can more easily take in the active ingredients in the treatment steps that follow (serums, boosters, and ampoules), enhancing their efficacy by creating the best possible environment for active ingredients to penetrate the skin.

Our skin is a complicated, dedicated, diligent organ that depends on certain natural oils to maintain a healthy balance and vibrant complexion. When we’re young, the oils in question are produced by our skin. As time goes on, we produce fewer, and our skin needs help adding them back in order to promote a healthy lipid barrier, locking in moisture and preventing dehydration.

New moms have new needs, and navigating a pregnancy is nothing short of an adventure. You have to accept that your body is due for some big changes. And while you’re going through all those changes, you’ll probably come face to face with the realization that you can no longer use products that once worked for you in the past.

Let’s be real. A trip to the med spa? Fantastic, but nobody has time for that every day, or even every month. Consider our Elixir Vitae Set your daily dose. This no-tox duo harnesses the power of ultramodern green technology to relax, fill, and volumize the look of severe wrinkles - no needles necessary.
