What is the Difference Between Hydrating and Moisturizing?
Although you often hear people using the words 'hydrating' and 'moisturizing' interchangeably--you might be surprised to know that they are actually two different functions. And if your skin has a tendency to be dry--you will definitely want to use products for each purpose. Skincare products that are 'Hydrating' actually attract water to the outer layer of the skin.

Like everyone, I love an unexpected deposit into my bank account…but I started digging in a bit deeper to see why I was receiving this payment. As it turns out, it was a refund for the Berkey Water Filters that had been ordered just months prior.
