WRITER, SKIN-NOMAD
Mae Willem writes about skincare for Skin-Nomad, covering ingredients, formulation, and the gap between what a product claims and what it actually does. She has been testing and curating skincare for years, works through INCI lists before marketing copy, and is more interested in whether a formula's logic holds together than in what a brand says about it.

She has never once returned from a trip with room to spare in her luggage.
