Episodes
The snail unit discusses the evolution of self-care from activist motto to marketing slogan.
canceling plans is ok. staying home to cook is ok. disappearing for a bit to get your life together is ok. resurfacing in a foreign country with a new name 10 years later is ok. it’s called self care

This episode on how we organize our stashes was inspired by an episode request from Dora, a listener, who asked: “Can you maybe talk about storage for vast collections of beauty products? 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!

Hell yes, we’re here with the acid, get ready to BURN!

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.
