PS Photography | Hannah CassidyPS Photography | Hannah Cassidy When you enter your mid 30s, things, well, change. I’m starting to notice hyperpigmentation and melasma, shifting volume, and deeper lines. And even though I consider myself to be mostly at peace with the aging process (and the privilege it brings), feelings of insecurity around preserving youthfulness can still creep up.

The Story Behind Elizabeth Banks’s New Movie “Skincare”
A heated rivalry. Stalking. A plan to commit murder. This is the intriguing plot of Elizabeth Bank’s latest film “Skincare.” The thriller portrays Banks as LA-based aesthetician-to-the-stars Hope Goodwin who is about to launch her own skin-care line.
