The New Mask in Skincare
A new type of mask has entered conversations in the skincare world. No longer does a face mask just mean a skincare treatment or at-home self-care ritual. In this era of covid-19, face masks have become a part of daily life when venturing outside our homes.
With this norm unlikely to change anytime soon, it’s important to talk about ways to protect and care for skin while frequently wearing face coverings. Whether it is wearing PPE for 12 or more hours as a frontline worker, or just venturing out for a few hours for errands, daily skincare is now more important than ever.
Finding a Skincare Routine During Stressful Times
Whether you’re looking to get into a skincare routine, or trying to find the motivation to stick to one during this stressful time, there are a few basics that are helpful to follow as we find ourselves in our homes and trying to maintain a routine and find some semblance of normalcy.

Here's Your Be Fancy Passport, Let's Go!
Be Fancy is an indie beauty company committed to making ethical products. By ethical, we mean products that are safe, cruelty-free, fully transparent regarding what is in them, and have a small ecological footprint. All of our products are made in the United States, in an FDA-registered, GMP-compliant lab. We aim to treat ourselves, animals and the environment with care, or fancy, if you will. Our eco-system and future depends on it. Be Fancy launched in September 2017 as a one-product line and currently has 5 multi-use products. In addition to being cruelty-free and vegan, there are two things we always promise about our products.
1. Every product has multiple functions so you can use it more than one time a day, and doesn't require makeup to be functional
2. Every product will always be under $20
Be Fancy was created as a way to make high-quality products affordable, and to make beauty accessible, simplified, and understandable to all.

From the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia which brought us the coconut, to somewhere in now Mexico and Central America where the cacao tree was cultivated around 3,600 years ago, we take your face on vacation.
2020 Goals: Quality Over Quantity When Skincare Launches Are Routine
As we wrap up the first month of the year, I love to reflect on goals and plans for the rest of the year, as well as re-evaluate how I'm carryout out existing goals.

I do this on a personal level, but also for Be Fancy.
