why Skin Punk?

I've always been interested in finding out for myself what works (in life, and in general), and what myths/illusions to bust open. As I started working for myself in the skin care business, I came across a lot of information on just that subject as it pertains to beauty, and some of it was just not true. The industry of skin care preys on women to pull out their wallets and spend!  While some products and procedures are worth the expenditure, some are not unlike the Emperor's new clothes. Money will not make you beautiful. Duh.  


I initially started this blog so that my clients could read up on some of the products that I like, have tried and find helpful.  Some times I will read up on something that I want to share, and I will re-post the entire article as it reads (because quite frankly it's better than I could have done). 
I have also found that beauty in life, enjoyment of people, capturing moments with family and friends, listening to great music, smiling, optimism -- all go hand in hand with external beauty.  Words, compassion, character and humility they all play a part in living a well-rounded life. There's more than a face - there's more to life than skin. We know that! So let's discuss all of it, while looking and feeling good while doing it.
