Most skincare experts would agree that retinol is the gold standard in anti-aging and delivers a smoother, clearer complexion. A number of studies confirm that retinoids not only boost collagen production — which, in turn, helps firm up skin and smooth out wrinkles — but can also increase cell turnover. As a result, the vitamin
If you or a friend are in search of cutting-edge skincare that truly works, then it’s worth perusing the offerings of SkinMedica®. From blue light protection to skin-rejuvenating elixirs, the brand offers myriad hardworking products that are sure to make everyone on your list glow this holiday season. Besides, who could say no to the gift
Out of all of the areas on our faces, the undereye area is perhaps the most difficult to treat. There are no oil glands around our eyes; as a result, this skin is one of the first areas to lose elasticity and show our true age. Add that to the fact that the area can

Recently, a friend emailed me with a pressing beauty question: “do lip-plumping glosses actually work?” As someone who has dabbled in this product category since middle school, I am a proponent of the prickly formulas. They “work” insofar as they can temporarily make your lips appear bigger — either via irritant (to promote swelling), hydration (to lock
When we go to the gym, we sweat — admittedly, some of us more than others — to look and feel good. Often, though, the result of a sweat session (be it 20 minutes or two hours) is that our hair and skin look a little, um, different than it did when we first walked
When in the mood to feel sexy, there are plenty of classic standbys that many of us rely on lacy lingerie, little black dresses, or perhaps just your birthday suit. But on Valentine’s Day, it’s really time to bring out the big guns. Beauty editors have a few extra tools in their arsenal when it
Generally speaking, women are easy to shop for on Valentine’s Day (especially if said woman is a fan of the whole flowers and chocolates thing). Of course, plenty of men adore truffles and roses, but we’d argue that the vast majority of guys haven’t the slightest interest — which leaves their suitors and significant others

One of the most magical things about lipstick is its ability to make you appear more polished in a single swipe. Whether you’re a fan of classic reds, sophisticated nudes, subtle pinks, or experimental hues inspired by the entire colour spectrum, your shade options are virtually endless. However, a hue is only as good as

In the harshest days of winter, it’s easy to remember slapping on your coziest hats, scarves, and gloves — but it can be a little more challenging to remember to break out your heaviest-duty hydration. When stripping winds and freezing sleet are assaulting your skin, you need a little extra help. Yet, it can be
Sunscreen is probably the single most important product that you can add to a skincare routine to help slow down the signs of skin aging. (Ask pretty much any derm, and they’ll likely agree.) The sun hitting your skin can feel glorious, but what it’s doing to an unprotected face isn’t pretty. “The sun induces
When your daily cleanser just doesn’t seem to be doing the job of dullness, it may be time to introduce a chemical peel into your routine. In addition to leaving you with a radiant glow, peels can treat a range of skin concerns, from fine lines to sunspots. Unlike physical exfoliators, which contain abrasives (like
With new mascaras launching seemingly in the blink of an eye, finding “the one” can get exhausting. It needs to achieve just the right length, volume, separation, and lift — and don’t forget shade! — for your desired effect. And that’s just the beginning. Once you’ve found a formula with the look and feel you
Are you looking for a foolproof way to achieve a rested look and radiant glow after deplaning from a long flight? It’s called business class, and if you are fortunate enough to take it every time you fly, then you might not need too many skincare tips: you can fully recline, cleanse properly, unfold a
The foundation is designed to even out skin tone and mask imperfections. But slather it over fine lines and wrinkles, and it can actually accentuate those signs of age. (Just think of all the times makeup settled into your smile lines or cozied up in those horizontal forehead etches). Instead of piling on more makeup,
Next time you’re at Sephora®, take a little bit of time to get to know your store’s friendly employees. Like so many Sephora shoppers, they live and breathe beauty, but sales associates have a major advantage: they’re often first to learn about the latest innovations (and, thanks to gratis, often test them) as they hit

It’s nearly impossible to do any kind of research into beauty products without being bombarded with the myth of French beauty. The concept has been an industry staple for the better part of the past decade — and it’s for good reason. It’s easy to be drawn to the allure of the French woman and her
Even if you’re not particularly hip to current hair, makeup, and skincare trends, we’re betting you can still distinguish the difference between the aesthetics of French beauty and the aesthetics of American beauty. French beauty is all about good skin, slightly-mussed makeup, and a devil-may-care attitude. American beauty, on the other hand, is marked by
For many of us, the word “melatonin” is enough to get us yawning — after all, it’s a hormone our bodies produce when it’s time to nod off. For this reason, it has been bottled up in supplement form (much to the relief of jetlagged travelers and sporadic sleepers). But skincare buffs could have a

If you’re trying to maintain youthful-looking skin, retinol is almost unequivocally a good idea for many people. The vitamin A derivative treats myriad skincare qualms, including fine lines, unevenness, and age-related pigmentation issues. But for some of us, the ingredient comes with a catch: irritated, peeling, pink, or oversensitized skin. If you can relate, consider
Many skincare aficionados remember the moment they discovered Tatcha®. For me, it was trying the brand’s waterless Rice Polish Foaming Cleanser — a powdery substance that, when mixed with water, transforms into an enzyme-based exfoliator that’s (genuinely) gentle enough for daily use. The Japanese-inspired brand has since released a smattering of skincare superstars, many of

Our eyes give away a lot. Had a rough night? Stressed? Been crying? Your eyes are likely to spill all the secrets, because the skin around them is incredibly thin. That’s also why it’s also one of the first facial features to show signs of aging. Therefore, the sooner you start showing your undereyes some
