June 15, 2019 at 12:00PM by CWC Facialists are the skin whisperers we turn to for everything from acne to hyperpigmentation, redness, and extractions (oh, and we can’t forget that facial massage). They’re the ones with the power to prod, microcurrent and zap your skin with a complexion-boosting LED light in order for you to… Continue Reading →

June 14, 2019 at 01:00PM by CWC How do we love a face mist? Let us count the ways. Minimalist and maximalist skin-care routines alike can benefit from a facial mist, and while many would consider the product to be the very definition of the word “extra,” their multi-tasking abilities are undeniable. A few pumps… Continue Reading →

June 14, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC The idea of shedding your winter layers doesn’t just apply to your wardrobe. As the mercury begins to rise, the climate gets more humid, and you spend more time in direct sunlight, the needs of your skin start to change and your product arsenal should follow suit. After… Continue Reading →

June 11, 2019 at 06:00AM by CWC Although I may look the same every single day—in jeans, T-shirt, and sneakers—my skin-care routine is changing all of the time. So underneath my same no-makeup makeup can be any mix of retinol, chemical exfoliants, hyaluronic acid serums, facial oils, and/or practically any skin-related product you can think of… Continue Reading →

June 10, 2019 at 12:46PM by CWC While everyone in the locker room post-workout clamors for the blow dryers, I walk out scot-free with my wet strands because I’m an avid hair air-dryer. I stan air drying because a) it’s fast and, well, ultimately ideal for those who are lazy with their hair (like moi),… Continue Reading →

June 05, 2019 at 09:33AM by CWC Hot take: Wearing foundation in the summer can be a tall order. Sweat and heavy makeup don’t exactly play well together, and who wants to spend time layering on a full beat only to sweat it off an hour later? That’s exactly why I’m currently obsessed with tinted… Continue Reading →

May 30, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC For the sake of having the most moisturized skin that I can possibly have, I slather on hyaluronic acid-packed beauty products at least twice a day. Sure, I’ll also use skin-care products that have glycerin or fatty acids for some love—but when it comes to making my complexion… Continue Reading →

May 29, 2019 at 11:05AM by CWC With the peach emoji at its all-time high, it’s no wonder we’re looking for new ways to get our booties into shape. The only question is, how exactly do you do that? Sure, there are squats, but what else? If you’ve been wondering how to work your butt,… Continue Reading →

May 29, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC Crepey skin, like the ability to pull off the scent of Chanel No. 5, is just one of those things that comes with age. It happens when skin loses its collagen and elastin so it can’t bounce back the way it used to. This results in sagging and… Continue Reading →

May 28, 2019 at 09:29AM by CWC As celebrity facialist Joanna Czech always says, “your face starts at your hairline and goes all the way down to your nipples.” While most of us have got a flawlessly curated routine to take care of the strip of skin between our foreheads and chins (otherwise known as… Continue Reading →

May 26, 2019 at 07:00AM by CWC Wearing sunscreen to the beach is skin care 101. It’s literally the number one most basic skin-care rule there is, and one that pretty much all of us know that we should follow. But while we all know the VIP (very important product) that we should be slathering… Continue Reading →

May 25, 2019 at 10:00AM by CWC It’s a dreary, miserable day in New York City the first time I spray on Trader Joe’s sunscreen. In early May, Consumer Reports awarded  TJ’s $6 bargain buy a perfect score in the sunscreen category for its UVA and UVB protection. So we put it to the test…. Continue Reading →

May 23, 2019 at 06:30PM by CWC Skin-care routines are easy(ish) to nail down when you spend the majority of your 9-5 life behind a desk—but what about the people whose lives require them to spend more time outdoors than a once-a-day walk around the block? If you’re anything like Summer Rayne Oakes, environmental scientist… Continue Reading →

May 23, 2019 at 11:48AM by CWC It’s easy to overdo a lot of things in your skin-care routine. Cleanse too often, and you can strip your skin of its natural oils. Swipe on too many layers of comedogenic skin care and you could wind up with clogged pores. And you can most definitely over-exfoliate your… Continue Reading →

May 23, 2019 at 06:25AM by CWC I’m totally fine and dandy with brushing my hair, brushing my teeth, and brushing bronzer onto my face, but I just haven’t gotten into (dry) brushing my body.  Until now, that is. The practice of dry brushing is exactly what it sounds like: It involves taking a soft-bristled… Continue Reading →

May 20, 2019 at 07:00AM by CWC Throughout my college years, I carried around a 27.1 ounce bottle of Johnson & Johnson’s baby lotion in my backpack 24/7. (Hey! You never know when dry skin may strike.) I made so many friends by offering up a pump of the stuff when someone complained that their… Continue Reading →
