“You smell amazing” has to be one of the best compliments—and believe it or not, you don’t have to wear expensive perfume to receive this praise. Enter scented body lotion. You already need to moisturize, so why not kill two birds with one stone and douse yourself with a pleasant-smelling formula? Even if the skin on your face is too sensitive for fragrance, this allows you to still use scented products elsewhere and often! “I recommend you moisturize at least two times a day or, at the very least, after you shower,” says dermatologist Divya Shokeen, MD. She adds that…

How to Use It Frequently Asked Questions Hydrating, sweet, and tinged with nostalgia, watermelon is a shining star in the world of fruit. However, its appeal doesn't end there. Watermelon is a standout in the beauty industry as well—specifically skincare. Many topical formulas utilize the sweet fruit for its hydrating and soothing properties (think: Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment or Cocokind's Watermelon Hemp Oil), and we predict we'll see more watermelon-infused products in the years to come. To learn more about why watermelon is useful in skincare, we asked three board-certified dermatologists to fill us in. Keep reading…

And just like that, summer is officially here. While weekend warriors dream of spritzes and days spent by the shore during this time of year, it’s not all fun and games as the weather warms up. Heat can exacerbate conditions like eczema, irritating sunburns happen to the best of us, and if you live in a dry climate, you may be on the hunt for anything that can reintroduce hydration to the skin. Lucky for you, Tower 28 just released its newest addition to its SOS collection, the SOS Daily Barrier Recovery Cream ($24), which has simple ingredients to calm…

As the brilliant poet Mary Oliver once wrote, “Only if there are angels in your head will you ever, possibly, see one.” In other words, you have to imagine magic before you see it in the real world. This is a concept that Dieux knows quite well; it’s exactly how their small-but-mighty product line came to be, after all. In their own experience as beauty consumers and professionals, founders Charlotte Palermino, Joyce de Lemos, and Marta Freedman didn’t see the products and brand qualities they were looking for—so they created them. Dieux was founded on the idea that “products should…

When InnBeauty Project hit the scene in 2019, the brand bet big on Gen Z. The skincare line aimed to fill the major gaps in the clean market and was an immediate hit amongst younger consumers thanks to its bright packaging, acne-centric skincare, and accessible pricing with most of the products hovering around around or below the $40 mark. Since then, InnBeauty has developed a loyal following of all ages—myself included. But with its newest launch, it's ready to grow up. Enter Extreme Cream ($48), a luxurious formula made to target signs of aging and rival much more expensive creams.…

Featured in nearly every It Girl’s “Get Ready With Me” on our For You page and most certainly in every K-Beauty aficionado’s medicine cabinet is a milky toner or essence. The staple in South Korean skincare has just started to pick up steam in the States, and with their ultra-hydrating formulas, it makes sense. As of January 9, a new one from Ilia has hit the market, generating tons of buzz and plenty of glowy-skin selfies. Ilia—the brand behind the fan-favorite Limitless Lash Mascara and just as viral Super Serum Skin Tint—has been in the skincare game since their eye cream launched…

When people find out I’m a beauty editor, they love to ask me what the best product is — the best moisturizer, the best vitamin C serum, the best foundation. Regardless of the specific category they’re inquiring about, my answer is the same “well, it depends.” It’s annoying but it’s true. I would never recommend the same moisturizer to my 25-year-old sister living in Arctic-temperature Canada as I would to my nearly 60-year-old aunt with a two-step routine.That being said, I have been in the beauty industry for a decade and I test hundreds of products every month. I spend…

There are very few beauty brands that enter the space as a disruptor, totally change the industry, and still keep their cool girl chic reputation after mass success. However, Glossier isn’t just any brand. Since Emily Weiss created Glossier a decade ago through her just as innovative digital publication, Into the Gloss, the brand has always had a skincare first, makeup second approach to beauty. Now, almost ten years to the dot since its inception, that ethos still shines through their skincare, makeup, and fragrance launches—inspiring dozens of beauty brands to pop up with the same skin-loving principles. However, one…

Moisturizers are an underrated way to supply your complexion with various skin-loving ingredients in just one product, often containing even more than targeted serums and treatments. A moisturizer ingredient with many benefits that we love is ceramides, which are lipids naturally found in the skin that help it retain moisture, according to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Marisa Garshick. “Ceramides serve as the glue that helps keep the skin cells together, which helps protect the skin from outside stressors as well as prevent water loss,” she says. “As we age, our ceramide levels decrease, and our skin barrier weakens—so it can help to…
