The American beauty industry wouldn’t be what it is today without the influences of Asian skin care. Without brands like Amorepacific, Shiseido, and Innisfree, we wouldn’t have witnessed the meteoric rise of Korean skin care and Japanese beauty here in the States. But more importantly, we have to give credit to the influential Asians and…

Growth factors work by promoting the body’s production of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin, both of which are key for maintaining skin elasticity, but are also crucial components in skin regeneration. Some dermatologists believe the most effective way to utilize growth factors on your post-laser skin is from a PRP treatment made of…

We weren’t quite sure the day would ever come, but it’s finally happened: Billie Eilish said goodbye to her signature black hair with neon-green roots. In fact, the singer made a complete 180-degree hair transformation — she’s now wearing a bright yellow-blonde shade, which she’s paired with a shaggy new haircut and shorter bangs. Eilish…

In the middle of a busy year that included more culture-shaking world events than I’d seen in my lifetime, I also had a baby and moved to a new town. Getting settled during a pandemic has been a challenge. The grind of working and homeschooling and baby-raising and cleaning and cooking (all the cooking!) has…

When TikTok first launched, I really wasn’t into it. I didn’t want another social media platform to feel obligated to. Then COVID-19 happened, I got bored, and finally caved in and downloaded the app. In the past year, I have seen it all, people – cooking hacks, fashion hauls, pranks… but the one genre that…

Part of my job — and arguably one of the best parts of my job — is tracking Megan Rapinoe‘s hair color. Nearly as iconic as her soccer skills, the vibrant shade she’s become known for made its debut in May 2019 at a U.S. Women’s National Team match versus Mexico, and the captain has…

Having rosacea can be a real bitch sometimes. I’m perpetually puffy. My whole face flushes beet-red if I so much as talk too fast (and I always talk too fast). And, worst of all to me, it’s near impossible to enjoy blush without looking a little too pantomime. That said, I like to use as…

Every generation has a girl group. They’re a pop music institution that tends to perfectly encapsulate the mood at the time. Gen Z’s offering? Boys World, which has rather appropriately garnered a lot of attention on TikTok. Formed by KYN Entertainment two years ago, the five-piece group that wants their diverse fanbase of music lovers…

For the bulk of her career, Julianne Hough has kept things short, sweet, and simple with her hair, which until recently has remained platinum blonde and on the shorter side. This week, however, she made a complete 180-degree transformation with a new dark-to-light ombré shade and hair extensions that fall all the way past her…

It’s rare that I say I can’t live without a beauty product. (And yes, I know that realistically I could live without any of ‘em — but what about my quality of life?) That said, for me, tubing mascara is a irreplaceable, panic-when-you-run-out essential. If you already know what tubing mascara is, feel free to…
