We are currently accepting guest posts from fellow bloggers, readers and skincare experts (absolutely NO copywriters!).
Beautiful with Brains focuses on the science of skincare. We cover various topics, including product reviews, ingredient spotlights, DIY beauty, skincare hacks and much more. Familiarize yourself with our content and, if you’ve got an idea you think the BWB community will like, we’d love to see it!
What To Write About
- DYI beauty: got a skincare recipe you want to share with us? Don’t forget to mention all the tools you’re using, how often you need to make a new batch… We want to know about the chemistry part too!
- Ingredient spotlight: want to introduce us to a wonderful new ingredient or warn us about a nasty one? Just base your article on scientific facts, not scaremongering.
- Skincare hacks: share with us the best skincare tips that helped you improve your skin.
- Skincare myths: spread the truth about beauty myths that need to die.
- Skincare product reviews: got a fave product you can’t stop raving about? Did you try a cult fave that didn’t work for you? Either way, we want to know!
- Skincare routines: tell us how your current skincare routine helped transform your skin and deal with acne/eczema/oiliness/dryness…
- Or any related topic about the science of skincare.
