Even those with the slightest knowledge of skincare know that washing your face every morning and night is a non-negotiable. Dirt, debris, and oil accumulating on your face during the day can lead to breakouts, a dull complexion, and even premature aging. But rather than going through the hassle of a complete wash after a late night out, using a makeup wipe can get the job done just as well and with way less effort—right? Turns out, not exactly.

Can Makeup Wipes Replace Your Cleanser? Dermatologists Weigh In

With social media's increasing interest in skincare and the plethora of new products flooding the beauty aisles daily, it can be hard to navigate what ingredients are actually good for your skin—especially when it comes to essential oils. We know that not all oils are created equal. So, while some oils aren’t suitable for every skin type, others are not only ok for all skin types to use but even beneficial. One such ingredient? Lavender Oil.

I love a classic cherry red, pastel yellow, or strawberry pink mani as much as the next girl, but when autumn rolls around, I’m beyond excited to return to a world of deep plums, chocolate brown, dramatic burgundy, navy blue, and black. (I blame Lauren Conrad circa 2007 for my continued love of black nails.) Fall nails are just so luxe.

The New Icons: 15 Beauty Products That Have Reached Cult Status (And Why) An Ode to the It Gloss: How Lip Products Have Become a Status Symbol. Sticky, with a heady gourmand fragrance, and heavy, with a lacquer that projected confidence, sparkly lip glosses and flavored lip balms have long been the gateway products to the beauty aisle. Whether it was a Lip Smacker (in the Dr Pepper flavor, no less), a classic egg-shaped lip balm from Eos, or cherry ChapStick à la Katy Perry's 2008 "I Kissed a Girl," we all remember our very first tube, which subsequently turned into a full-blown collection. Lil Mama's 2007 hit, "Lip Gloss," was less of a song and more of a shopping list, as everyone immediately ran to the mall to grab the more "grown-up" evolutions of lip products: Lancôme Juicy Tubes Original Lip Gloss, Clinique's Black Honey, Mac Cosmetics' Lipglass, and L'Oréal Paris Colour Juice. No monogrammed shoulder bag was complete without a tube or two rattling around. But much like its consumers, lip glosses have grown up.

Refined by New York chemist Robert Chesebrough almost 150 years ago, petroleum jelly is still widely used today in topical applications. Even with the myths that abound online about it being carcinogenic, it has withstood the test of time.

When makeup has skincare-like ingredients, sure it's nice, but it's hard to tell if it's doing...anything . The concept—enhancing powders and creams with vitamin C, nourishing plant extracts, and more—is nothing revolutionary, but Victoria Beckham is giving it a whole new meaning. The Concealer Pen, Victoria Beckham Beauty's latest launch, is made in partnership with luxury skincare brand Augustinus Bader, and the brand claims that it's a "concealer you need less the more you use it."

The New Icons: 15 Beauty Products That Have Reached Cult Status (And Why) Hot Tools Are Finally Evolving to Meet the Needs of Curly and Coily Hair. The sound of sizzling hot tools and the smell of heated hair are core memories etched into the brains of many Black women. For many of us, our experiences with heat styling began at an early age. By elementary school, most of us were intimately acquainted with salon professionals or at-home kitchen beauticians (typically our mothers, grandmothers, or aunts), entrusting them to style our curls and coils for special occasions with the help of a pressing comb, blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron. And as we enter our teen and adulthood years, our hot tool usage typically continues.

On a sunny afternoon in mid-June, I waited amid a crowd clad in cowboy hats, pink bandanas, and referential graphic tees for Gov Ball’s arguably most anticipated act. While she wasn’t a headliner, Chappell Roan was (and still is) the moment, and everyone kept their eyes on the stage to catch her latest drag-inspired look reveal. When she emerged from a giant apple dressed as the Statue of Liberty, it went instantly viral as true fashion history in the making.

When your temper flares are you a raging bull? A vicious Virgo or a conniving Capricorn? Emotions are complex states that involve physiological, behavioral, and cognitive changes. They influence how we perceive the world around us, how we interact with others, and how we make decisions. However, our emotions are not the only factor that influences our behavior. Astrology can be a telling factor as well.

I’m a former nurse and recovering alcoholic, and I’ve been concerned by the lack of health education given to the general public about the dangers of mixing alcohol with certain medications. The common practice is to place warnings on medications that they should not be combined with alcohol. Although some doctors will provide warnings and some education, they often don’t because education takes up a lot of time in a busy healthcare environment. Plus, many doctors underestimate the ability of patients to retain education. Lastly, discussing this may prompt people to stop taking their vital medications so it becomes a risk/benefit issue.
