The people behind Glass Skin Diary

Elodie MarshFounder & editorElodie started Glass Skin Diary as a personal spreadsheet for tracking which products actually worked, after one too many half-used serums piled up in her bathroom cabinet. She buys and tests nearly everything she reviews with her own money, often for months before writing about it, and says so when she hasn't. She still keeps that original spreadsheet, now several tabs deep, as the backbone of the site.Harriet LoweStaff writer, DermatologyHarriet spent two years fact-checking health content for a consumer publisher before she started writing explainers of her own, and she still calls a source back when a claim sounds slightly too clean. She writes Glass Skin Diary's dermatology pieces, the ones that need a structural explanation rather than a product recommendation. She keeps a running list of skincare marketing terms that have no actual regulated definition.Bianca SouzaStaff writer, Subscriptions & ValueBianca worked in retail buying for five years before switching to writing, which left her with a near-compulsive habit of calculating cost per use before she buys anything. She runs Glass Skin Diary's subscription and box tests, tracking what she actually paid against what the same products would cost full-size. She cancels every subscription the moment a test ends, no matter how good the box was.
