The snail unit discusses the evolution of self-care from activist motto to marketing slogan.

I have no clue where to put all my stuff so that it is still readily available and doesn’t clutter the whole bathroom. Thanks!”
If you have an episode idea for us, let us know!

Our #RAGRETS
Inevitably, in every hobby/skincare obsession, there’s going to be a honeymoon period where everything is exciting and unknown; when you don’t yet know a BHA from a PHA, when you can’t yet disassemble and reassemble a 15-step routine blindfolded, and when your wallet greets every new shop with a shriek of terror.
When those days of discovery have passed and when the flames of passion (and your wallet) have cooled ...
Join the snails for a looooong discussion on tretinoin, the prescription skincare drug that can help treat acne, wrinkles, and skin damage.
