“Do you want one?” My coworker asked me, handing me—I kid you, not—a pair of cheetah-print, fingerless gloves created to wear during gel manicure appointments to protect your skin from UV light exposure. (They exist, and they’re called ManiGlovz—look them up.) Because I work in beauty, I wasn’t too surprised by the gloves’ existence, though I was surprised by my …

In fact, the only change I’m making is adding extra silk scrunchies (Slip’s slim ties are my favorite—they don’t budge!) and a claw clip (Alo and Kitsch are my go-tos) to my gym bag. …

These are just three of the ways I keep collagen production top of mind when it comes to my skin-care routine. (For even more tips, read our full report here.) And in the meantime, I’m going to work on being kinder to myself—and my reflection. Reader Question I’ve been swimming a lot this summer and my nails are super brittle. …

Confession: Despite my sunny disposition on social media, in real life, my apartment can become… a bit of a mess. The current state of my beauty product collection is proof.

Although I’m an advocate of wearing sunscreen from head-to-toe every time you leave the house, I still managed to get burned by the …

The original influencers—actors and musicians—have lent their faces (and hair and bodies) to countless ad campaigns for beauty brands. And they still do, often as extremely well-compensated “brand ambassadors.” But it seems, nowadays, leasing out their face (or hair or body) simply isn’t enough for …

Thanks to the cooler weather, vanishing sunlight, and potential vacation days you’ve still got racked up, spending a little extra time at home healing from a procedure just makes seasonal sense. Aside from laser treatments and certain injectables, one of the …

It’s so hot out! And so grossly humid! So much so that I never want to leave my apartment. Recently, though, I did leave (please clap) and rented a car to go for a very long hike up a mountain (please clap again).
