Is Epigenetic Skin Care Real or Just Marketing?
There’s a new buzzword going around in the world of skin care. Epigenetics, or heritable changes in gene expression, is being touted as the latest trait that can be addressed by skin-care products. It’s the idea that topical products, like moisturizers and serums, can impact and change gene expression. While nonmedical skin-care brands have long used terms like antiaging, firming, and lifting, many have stopped just short of saying that products could have any real effect on a deeper level, like its pharmaceutical counterparts, partly because of the percentage of each active ingredient being used in these formulas. Still, the use of the word epigenetics in skin-care marketing leaves much…

Also referred to as “goddess” and “boho” styles, the latter is perfect if you want to give your regular box braids a chic upgrade.

Hot take: I think it’s f*cking gross when people apply skin-care products on airplanes. Hear me out. There’s nothing more confusing to me than watching a passenger dutifully rub down their seat with an antibacterial wipe as soon as they sit down, only to watch them do a full skin-care routine mid-flight hours later — especially when they forgo wiping down their hands prior to application. In-flight skin-care has become an activity that a lot of people participate in; there have even been products created specifically for use while traveling.…
