Okay, so, I tried this thing called “Bain BASE” – sounds fancy, right? But it’s basically a program, a one-week thing, and it’s all about learning stuff. I saw this online about some program and thought, “Why not give it a shot?”

What is Base Bain? (A Simple Guide to Understanding This Skincare Ingredient)

First off, I applied. It wasn’t too hard, just filled out some forms online. I wrote about what I’ve done before, you know, like the usual stuff you put on applications. They wanted to know about my experiences and skills.

Then, I got in! I was pretty stoked. The program was in person, so I had to travel there. When I arrived, it was a bit overwhelming, but cool. There were a bunch of people, all from different places. We learned a lot about behavioral economics, sociology, and some other stuff.

What we actually did:

  • Learned about skincare products: We dove into what goes into these products. It’s crazy, but the base of a skincare product is like 75-95% of what’s in the bottle!
  • Read labels: We learned how to read those long ingredient lists. They’re listed from the most to least used ingredient. It’s like food labels, but for your skin.
  • The “1% line”: This is where things get interesting. Apparently, after a certain point, everything listed is less than 1% of the whole mix. So, if you’re buying something for a specific ingredient, you gotta check where it is on the list.
  • The core four: This was about the four main things you need for skincare: a cleanser, exfoliant, moisturizer, and SPF. Basic, but super important.

We did a bunch of activities and talked a lot. It was kinda intense, but I learned a ton. I met some cool folks too. We talked about how to figure out what our skin needs and how to pick the right products. It felt like I was getting a crash course in skincare science, but without all the super technical words. I used to think it didn’t matter what kind of cleanser or moisturizer I used, but now I’m paying way more attention to that stuff.

By the end of the week, I felt like a skincare expert – almost. At least now I know what I’m putting on my face. It’s not just about looking good, it’s about being smart with what you use. This whole “Bain BASE” thing was definitely worth it. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about skincare or just try something new and different. This experience helped me make better choices about skincare products in general.
