Sebaceous filaments are often mistaken for blackheads, but they're a completely normal part of your skin's anatomy. These tiny, hair-like structures help to channel the flow of sebum along the lining of the pore in which they're found, playing a crucial role in skin hydration and protection. Unlike blackheads, sebaceous filaments are not a sign of clogged pores or poor hygiene. In fact, trying to remove them can do more harm than good, leading to skin irritation or even damage. Understanding these facts can change how you view your skincare routine, emphasizing gentle care over aggressive extraction.

Does your hair look and feel thinner than it used to?

But do full-body deodorants actually work? What’s in these sticks, sprays, and lotions that make them any different from the traditional deodorant stick you’ve been using for years?

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

As someone with ultra-dry skin, I’ve avoided retinol for years: The idea of enduring the ingredient’s acclimation phase, which can result in flaking, redness, and dryness as skin gets used to its power, has deterred me.

If you, like me, are a millennial on TikTok, then you have likely been bullied by Gen Z for wearing everything from skinny jeans to ankle socks. (Both, according to today’s youth, are very much out of style.) It simply never dawned on me that a sock could be a dead giveaway that I was born in the ’90s, but alas, no-show socks have been deemed outré. It is now, apparently, all about the scrunched crew sock. If you want to wear sneakers in the summer, cover up those ankles—a mid-calf sock, worn with shorts or a skirt, is now the height of cool!
