April 23, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC When it comes to my diet, I try to squeeze in the whole comprehensive smattering of vitamins that experts recommend on the reg so that my body can function at an (at least somewhat) efficient level. I think I apply the same philosophy for my skin, but there’s… Continue Reading →

April 23, 2019 at 09:18AM by CWC After a quick trip to Sephora or Ulta to buy “one thing,” I often leave with a bag full of products and totally shattered budget. Oops. But there are definitely ways to score deals on the products you stock up on time and time again. Just fill up… Continue Reading →

April 22, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC Whenever a skin-care product claims that it exfoliates, you can bet that I’m all over it. I must admit that I’m an exfoliation queen, for a number of reasons: it sloughs off dead skin cells that lead to dullness and acne, and it just overall makes your skin look… Continue Reading →

April 19, 2019 at 08:10AM by CWC I often find myself in a rush, and the challenge is to scrub, shampoo, condition, and shave (if you’re into that) in five minutes or less. But when I’ve got JOMO vibes, I hang out in the shower for the better part of an indulgent hour while contemplating… Continue Reading →

April 19, 2019 at 06:16AM by CWC I look to dermatologists as my queens and kings—bona fide skin gurus, who can look at my face and tell me what’s going on with my skin, which products I should be using, and what beauty ingredients are worth knowing about. You could say that they’re like the… Continue Reading →

April 18, 2019 at 11:24AM by CWC Remember the episode of Sex and the City in which the women reveal their Secret Single Behavior? Personally, I’m more of a Charlotte, in this sense—at night, I like to study my pores up close and personal in a magnifying mirror. It’s kind of brutal, I’ll admit—but as a… Continue Reading →

April 17, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC When I was a kid, anytime I got a bad sunburn—aka literally every family vacation—my mom would head to the drugstore and buy a lotion with “aloe vera” slapped in big letters on the front of the bottle. Ever since, I’ve always known that any time I had… Continue Reading →

April 16, 2019 at 06:30PM by CWC Have you ever wondered why a day at the beach leaves you with glowing skin not even an expensive facial could replicate?

April 16, 2019 at 09:23AM by CWC Foundation used to have a pretty bad rap. Sure, it can conceal blemishes and even your skin tone, but it can also clog your pores, big time. But over the years, formulas have become more skin friendly and arguably less likely to cake up on your face and… Continue Reading →

April 15, 2019 at 10:46AM by CWC As spring starts to show its lovely face, I’m starting to take off my layers of clothing. And as I do so, one thing is very evident: My skin is covered with scales and flakes from the dry winter that’s behind us. You’d probably mistake me for a… Continue Reading →

April 14, 2019 at 08:00AM by CWC Whenever I’m watching my favorite character on Game of Thrones, Sansa Stark (well, okay, second after Tyrion Lannister), I wonder two things.

April 12, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC Oatmeal baths have been a savior for itchy, dry skin for ages—and the perks they offer aren’t simply anecdotal, either. Yep, dermatologists also swear by the soaks from a medical POV. “Oatmeal has long been used in skin care because of its moisturizing and soothing benefits,” says dermatologist… Continue Reading →

April 12, 2019 at 01:00PM by CWC This a.m., about halfway through my SLT class when the instructor came over to adjust my form, I had a horrible realization: “Ohmigod,” I thought, “I forgot to put on deodorant this morning.” I started to panic, because not only was I sweating so, so much more than usual—but… Continue Reading →

April 12, 2019 at 07:00AM by CWC Every once in a while, it can feel like every single problem that skin could possibly have pops up at the same time. It’s red, it’s itchy, it’s swollen, and frankly it’s just all-around unpleasant. As anyone who’s dealt with it knows all-too well, inflamed skin is no… Continue Reading →
