It can be quite scary to look down at your fingernails and to suddenly find yourself asking, “why are my nails peeling?” But before you hit the panic button and go down a Google rabbit hole and come to the absurd conclusion that your hands will surly fall off, know that you’re not alone.

Everything from picking at your nails to peeling off gel, damage from extensions like acrylic nails, and fungal infections can cause peeling nails.

Can Biotin Cause Acne? We Asked Dermatologists
For many people, healthy hair is a priority. Whether that looks like less damage from heat styling, fewer split ends, or long hair that doesn’t break, the key — no matter your hair type — is all about having a consistent routine that works for you. If you’re after length specifically, know that while there is no magical product that will help your hair grow overnight, there are a multitude of options that have seen promising results, one of which is biotin. Biotin can be found in topical products like shampoos and scalp serums, but most people who choose to utilize the ingredient take it in supplement form. However, recently…

We’ve all been there — a red bump or an unsightly blackhead pops up on your face out of nowhere at the most inopportune time. While it’s totally normal, albeit massively annoying, experiencing clogged pores comes with the territory of not only having skin but also having to face the outside elements daily. Though they may have haunted your teenage years, dealing with continuous pores clogged with hard sebum as an adult can be increasingly frustrating. While the occasional spot is sometimes unavoidable, if you’re finding that you’re struggling with…

Can You Use a Sauna With Rosacea or Other Conditions?
Infrared saunas are one of the hottest (no pun intended) trends in wellness and beauty right now. Whether you’re hopping into a traditional infrared sauna at your gym or using an infrared blanket at home (or you’re one of those people who splurged on an at-home sauna), the benefits can be pretty apparent after just one use. We’re talking full-body, inside and out benefits, from blood circulation and muscle recovery to rejuvenated and glowing skin. But of course, all trends have their nay-sayers, and some people are hesitant to jump aboard the sauna train. Why? Well, with infrared saunas, you’re met with heat and sweat — two components that may…

Madewell Crossbody Bag in Handwoven Leather Review

If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. I’m usually either sporting a utilitarian belt bag or carrying a clutch or wristlet for a fancy event. However, I’ve recently come to terms with the fact that owning a mid-size option really is a matter of practicality — even for a phone, keys, and card case kind of person like myself. I’m a sucker for woven leather (I’ve been wearing this woven leather belt on repeat) and have been eyeing handbag versions that have varied in price and quality. I…

Jeffrey Campbell x Free People Boots Review: See Photos

If scampering around Coachella’s polo grounds this year taught me anything, it’s that Western looks are in (thank you, Beyoncé), and the trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. While I wouldn’t necessarily find myself donning a cowboy hat on a random Tuesday night before heading out to dinner with my girlfriends, I can absolutely envision myself in a pair of Western-themed boots. Cowboy boots would be an easy choice, but before you hit “add to cart” on the pair you’ve been eyeing, allow me to introduce you to something I…

What do Dakota Johnson, Kim Kardashian, Sydney Sweeney, and little old me all have in common? Well, besides the fact that we’re all really, really hot, we’ve all used the CurrentBody Skin LED Face Mask ($380). I’ve been on the LED mask train since 2019, and I’ve tested my fair share of products since my first-ever purchase. It seems like the tools are only getting better. For the unfamiliar, light emitting diode therapy, aka LED therapy, has amazing benefits for skin. It was originally developed for NASA, then later for…

If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. If anyone reading this cares about my personal well-being, you should know that I’m going through yet another break-up (does it count if it’s always with the same guy?). This past week, I was unwell — I’m talking full body sobs, red, puffy eyes, face swollen beyond recognition, friends are taking care of me in shifts, kind of unwell. Since my schedule was fully packed with crying, wallowing, and mourning, I hardly had time to wash my hair. I’ll admit, I’m…
