The world of cosmetics is changing at an incredible rate: new skincare products appear every week, all of them seemingly capable of instantly transforming us. But how can we understand what our skin needs without breaking the bank? What should be in the ideal face cream? Can acids be combined with retinol? And why are men's cosmetics cheaper than women's?

Author Maria Atchikova, a journalist and beauty editor with 15 years of experience, provides detailed answers to questions that concern everyone who uses cosmetics, anyone considering their first anti-aging product, or anyone trying to understand acid peels. For anyone who doesn't understand the difference between a toner and a toner, who smears their hands with greasy cream in the winter, or makes homemade kefir masks.

'What Are You Rubbing In' is a fascinating, informative, and accessible guide to the universe of skincare products.
