In this era of social media, we are constantly shown super creamy, edited skin with zero pores or blemishes. From someone who used to smooth her skin with filters, I’m just as guilty as the next person, but what I didn’t understand was just how damaging that was to other people. What we see day to day on Instagram isn’t real life, and it’s so important to understand that. Most of those photos are photoshopped, even photos of people with actual healthy skin. I think this creates a sense of misinformation about what healthy skin is. Healthy skin is not glassy, blemish-free skin. It doesn’t look powder smooth. Healthy skin isn’t free of texture and flushing, although we tend to strive for this sort of perfection. In reality, perfect skin doesn’t exist. Even the healthiest skin has pores, texture, changes in tone and blemishes!

"Where there is a woman, there is magic”

Every year we honor women for their achievements and successes. International Women's Day is when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. We wanted to spend this week highlighting some of our wonderful females that work at GlyMed Plus. Each woman was asked to talk a bit about themselves and answer one woman's empowerment-related question.
