An Introduction ...


Every wonder why do some people have great skin and use a bar of soap to cleanse, while others (like me) have to pay so much attention to our skin to correct it? There's really not one answer to this...it could be genetics, environment, diet... it's most likely a combination of those factors. But the truth is, everyone could do something to improve their skin. Just because you can't visibly see anything to correct...there are always things like prevention, maintenance, and overall skin health to consider. 
This blog is a tribute to our largest, most visible organ: our skin — how to take care of it, how to give it different looks, and how to control it. I've spent the last 8 years in the skin care industry and have never seen the same skin condition twice ... like snowflakes. It's fascinating! 
With the thousands of skin care products out there, there is a solution to every condition.  (At Soma, we carry products that can adapt to your changing skin conditions: Skin Tx from Vivier and Yon-Ka for treatment and maintenance and Glo Minerals for our makeup solution). As consumers, we have to be careful as to what's out there. Some of us (me included) have spent hundreds of dollars on product that just doesn't work. Or it does work for a little bit, then it stops working.... the one constant about skin is that it always changes.
