Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. The last time I wore a midi skirt was probably the summer after I started middle school. You could’ve called me Lizzie McGuire then, because I was a shameless outfit repeater. I wore one teal tiered peasant skirt just about everywhere. Now that I can look back at my middle school days fondly (instead of cringing), I’ll be the first to admit that despite my many fashion misses, that skirt was probably the best addition to…

Can Bleach Baths Treat Eczema?
It can be a long journey to soothe certain skin irritations, including eczema, which can be unpredictable and hard to treat. Those with eczema are often prone to skin sensitivities, so when certain treatment options begin trending, it can be tempting yet nerve-wracking to get the courage to try them out. One treatment route that you either sing its praises or err on the side of caution of are bleach baths. The word “bleach” associated with anything that involves your skin may give you pause, and rightfully so! Putting bleach on your skin is a big “no, no” we’ve all heard throughout our lives. However, bleach baths are a treatment…

I Got a Mermaid Cut: See Photos

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. Despite working in beauty, I am slightly haircut-averse. I may still be hanging on to the trauma of accidentally getting micro bangs when I was 14, and I’ve just generally gotten too many bad haircuts over the years when all I wanted was a trim. All that is to say: if I’m going to get a cut, it needs to be worth it. For the last few months, I’ve been letting my hair grow out as…

Nail Cycling Is Trending, but Does It Work?

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. Nothing beats that “just left the nail salon” feeling, whether it’s a gel manicure, a dip powder, or a full set of acrylics. That said, frequent manicures can cause the nails to weaken, as well as brittleness and cracking. Lucky for us, a buzzy new trend called “nail cycling” is gaining popularity, and it promises to keep your tips healthy — without giving up your salon appointments entirely. By now, you’ve probably heard of “skin cycling,”…

Hair Cracking: About the Dangerous Scalp Popping Trend
By now, you should know that TikTok, while amazing at times, is loaded with beauty hacks, trends, and tips that you definitely should not try. On said list are things like using hemorrhoid cream for undereye bags, replacing your perfume with juice from “vabbing,” and this thing called hair cracking or scalp popping. If you’ve stumbled upon one of these videos, the sound is likely burned into your mind forever. Scalp popping, which is usually performed by someone on another person, involves yanking on a piece of hair to produce a popping sound. Many TikTok-famous dermatologists have reacted to the viral videos on the practice, advising strongly against it. But…

Sometimes I’ll swipe on a gloss, but typically, I’m a balm wearer (I’m a Burt’s Bees Pomegranate lifer). For whatever reason, lipstick always makes me feel a little too “fancy” — maybe because my mom never wore lipstick (or makeup at all, for that matter), but lipstick has never really been a staple in my lineup. That said, there was…

While summer is coming to an end, I’ve made it my personal mission to take better care of my feet year-round. I don’t have any serious foot-related medical issues, but I can readily admit that I leave my gel pedicures on for longer than is probably socially acceptable and that there are some areas, like my heels, that experience more wear and tear than others. So after scrolling through Instagram one day, I came across a procedure called a medical pedicure that promises to whip your feet into shape, and I decided to get one myself. Experts Featured in This Article Marcela Correa is a medical nail technician and founder…

They throw their hair up without a care in the world, and somehow it ends up looking like they got their hair professionally styled. As someone who has known for quite some time that my hair type is definitely not thick (it’s fine and thin, thank you very much), I’ve come to the…

Dermal Fillers: Benefits, Price, Risks, and More
While modern dermal fillers have been around for nearly two decades, they’ve seen a huge bump in popularity in the last few years. And it seems the stigma around facial enhancements like filler and Botox is steadily decreasing (it’s about time, TBH). While celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Bella Hadid have brought into the mainstream the use of filler to accentuate areas of their face, there are so many ways to use dermal fillers beyond just plumping up the lips and contouring the cheeks. It’s also important to know that not all dermal fillers are created equal — some are better suited for different parts of the body, which should…
