Best in Beauty: Protection all around
Integrating these SPF-infused beauty helpers into your summer routine will help your face, lips and even nails stay refreshed and safe from the sun.
Best in Beauty: Manly grooming
Women aren’t the only ones who get to have fun when it comes to grooming products. Whether they like to admit it or not, men do like to pamper themselves and smell good, too. (My 13-year-old son tried out the body wash, and he liked it so much that he was asking for it for his birthday).
In the glow: Sunless tanning products to try this summer
Pale is a thing of the past with some assistance from these top-rated tanning products.
Best in Beauty: Charcoal
Charcoal, an ingredient that is popping up in many of our beauty products, can do wonders for your skin. Activated charcoal draws out bacteria, poisons, chemicals and dirt and gives that elaborate feeling one often thinks of when they picture in-depth beauty treatments. Now, charcoal goes beyond the basic mask.
Best in Beauty: On-the-go helpers
Things happen throughout the day, and touch-ups are often needed, especially as we head into a season that is filled with fluctuating temperatures, jet streams and the possibility of rain. Make sure your bag, or desk drawer, is stocked with these beauty helpers.
Scents of the season
Spring is the ideal time to switch out your scents. Whether you opt for a woodsy fragrance or a floral one, aim to select one that’s a departure from your current cologne. With a fresh aroma comes a fresh outlook.
How long can you keep your makeup before tossing it?
Your makeup collection shouldn’t be overlooked when it comes time for spring cleaning.
Best in Beauty: Springtime prep
Get ready to shed the layers and let your skin show from your shoulders to your toes.
Best in Beauty: Hair repair
What we do to our hair to make it through each day—clean, dry, style, pull back into a pony and then spray in/spritz on potions and serums—ends up causing all kinds of damage. In a perfect world, we’d wake up every day with shiny, flowing locks (we’d even accept having a live-in stylist!). But we can’t have everything. We can, however, make sure to pamper our topper every so often.
How much lead in your lipstick is too much?
Inspired by a Campaign for Safe Cosmetics study, the FDA recently conducted an investigation and made an official recommendation limiting lead in lipsticks.
