In the beauty world, there is a powerful synergy between self-care and compassion. This is a bond that transcends vanity, embracing the profound impact that a touch of lipstick, a fresh blowout, or a sweep of blush can have on a person's confidence and outlook. In recent years, the beauty industry has rallied behind a cause that resonates deeply with women worldwide — breast cancer awareness.

First things first: Libras are not indecisive, per se; represented by scales, they embody justice, strive for peace and harmony in all aspects of life, and are able to see both sides of the coin. Notoriously (regarded as) indecisive, Libras put much weight and thought from different perspectives when presented with a choice — thoughtful decision-making takes time, and a Libra wants to make the all-around best choice. On the other hand, Libras are celebrated for their exquisite taste, charm, and grace. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, these air signs possess an innate appreciation for all things aesthetically pleasing. When it comes to their beauty regimen, Libras are open to trying new products and tend to make educated decisions on which products to invest in, choosing those that align with their refined sensibilities and needs at the given time.

Iso E Super is a synthetic aroma chemical, a molecule first created and patented in the 1970s by International Fragrances and Flavors. They place it in the woody odor family and describe it as "smooth, woody, amber with unique aspects giving a velvet-like sensation." Its purpose? To intensify, add fullness and strength, and boost other surrounding fragrance notes. It makes our florals more unapologetic, our warm and gourmand notes more potent. Since it's been introduced, its use and popularity in the fine fragrance industry (but not limited to) has been as steady as they come. You know those situations when your fragrance of the day smells irresistibly alluring to others, and they beg of you the answer to just what that is that you're wearing? Well, the Iso E Super molecule has that effect.

Say what you will, but all our visible work, regardless of whether one's a carpenter, a dentist, or an executive, is done by our hands. They are the medium of the mind, I might say (and type it as I do, thus validating my own point; #sosatisfying). The life lived shows on a person's hands — and looking away is not possible. We will always look at them, notice their changes, enjoy our delicious mani multiple times a day, every day, and — use them. How else would we be slathering ourselves in intoxicating body oils, after spa-like showers? My god, how else would we fix up our brows? All that beauty and help they provide us with have to be protected and nurtured. Sunlight is THE number 1 cause of just about all of our skin's visible aging, and SPF hand creams, though still not available to us in as many delightful options as their non-spf counterparts, do both for us.
