As a medical student, nails were one part of my anatomy course that I really struggled with. I found it difficult, at first, to stomach the sight of painful nail injuries. My squeamishness may have stemmed from witnessing someone sharply removing a plaster from their stubbed big toe – only to take the whole toenail away with it. Ouch.

I exfoliate my face bi-weekly—yet, save for the occasional clarifying shampoo, I rarely slough dead skin from my scalp. My lack of attention becomes particularly apparent in the soupy summer months, when sweat and product buildup (often from excess dry shampoo) mix and form a palpable film at my roots. Physical sensation aside, buildup hinders hair health and may even prevent strands from growing their strongest. As trichologist Gretchen Friese previously told InStyle, “Creating a healthy [scalp] environment for hair to grow is essential for thick, healthy hair.” The Aromatica Rosemary Scalp Scaling Shampoo is formulated to do exactly that—and, per shoppers, it creates thicker hair by proliferating strands.

Think twice before you wiggle into that new pair of jeans. I have a confession: Despite my practically compulsive need to use hand sanitizer after pumping gas, I often wear new clothes without washing them—especially if I have a fun outing planned the day the new duds land on my doorstep. Of course, I have my limits (linens, activewear, and the like all take a spin through the laundry before use), but generally, I’m not too precious about the preliminary wash cycle. If you, too, are in my camp and would like to continue to dwell here, you should probably stop reading now. We asked experts to weigh in, and they unanimously agreed: Washing before wearing is the move. Here’s the good, bad, and ugly of why you should be launder new clothes before you wear them.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
