Bea Santos

I test skincare slowly, for six weeks at a time, and tell you what actually changed. Fewer steps, softer skin, and a lot less money spent on things that don't work.

Fewer steps, better skin.

Tell me about your skin and I'll show you the routine I'd start you on. It's the same advice I give my friends.

My skin is mostly…

And it's…

Not medical advice. If something stings, stop and see a dermatologist.

    Tell me what you need.

    Two quick questions and I'll suggest a starting point. I only take four partnerships a month, so I can test each one properly.

    my suggestion

      hi, I'm Bea

      I used to buy everything.

      Ten years of sensitive skin, a bathroom cabinet that wouldn't close, and a lot of money spent on hope. In 2021 I started testing one thing at a time for six weeks and filming it. It turns out most people just want someone to try it first.

      Hi, it's Bea! If you're a brand, send me the thing and give me six weeks. If it works, I'll shout about it. If it doesn't, I'll tell you first.

      A voice note. On a real webfolio, it's the creator's own voice.
      Will you post a bad review?

      If it doesn't work for me, I tell the brand first and we decide together. I never post a fake good one.

      Why six weeks?

      Skin takes about a month to renew. Anything shorter is a first impression, not a review.

      Do you do gifted posts?

      I test gifted products, but I only post about the ones I'd repurchase.

      Can we use your videos in our ads?

      Yes, with a usage agreement. It's part of every package above $3,000.
