Here’s how to add the hard-working vitamin into your anti-aging routine. By Jennifer Aldrich January 28, 2021 When I’m in search of a new skincare item, I always crowdsource from fellow beauty lovers and experts to see what’s the latest product to try. When I told one of my favorite Sephora experts that I needed a new toner, he recommended the FENTY SKIN Fat Water Pore Refining Toner Serum ($28, Sephora) because the formula includes niacinamide. I bought it because I trust him, but I honestly had never heard of the ingredient. So I sought out the expertise of Corey L. Hartman, M.D., founder of Skin Wellness Dermatology in Birmingham, Alabama, to… read more

by Celia Shatzman Jan 30, 2021 at 5:00 am EST Do I really need to wear sunscreen every day (the answer is yes, BTW)? Does this mole look okay? What’s the moisturizer for my skin type?

What they don’t hear as frequently are the questions they wish you’d ask them. Whether you’re in their office for an annual skin checkup or a laser treatment, it turns out that dermatologists actually ~do~ want you to take advantage of their time.

The topical has been cleared for 2021. By Daley Quinn February 08, 2021 My decade-long battle with acne is one of the biggest reasons I decided to become a beauty journalist years ago—with over 50 million Americans dealing with this skin condition annually, it’s a struggle that’s near and dear to my heart (and my skin, too). With my passion for skin-clearing products, you can imagine how thrilled I was to first hear about Winlevi, the latest FDA-approved acne drug on the market. Winlevi is, well, a huge win for acne-sufferers everywhere because it’s unlike any other acne-fighting cream available.

My boss told us all to bring home everything we’d need, and before we all packed into the elevator to leave the building together—the last normal thing I did in March—she said, “Between me and you guys, I think we might be home for an entire month.” We all gasped in the moment—a month seemed like an eternity. It almost seems funny now, in a twisted kind of way. A month. Now, after nearly a year of wearing masks, scrubbing my groceries, pre-ordering Clorox wipes, rationing… read more

While some may argue that eye creams are useless, experts say that’s simply a lie. According to board-certified dermatologist Ryan Turner, MD, of Turner Dermatology in New York City, the under-eye area is extremely delicate compared to the rest of your face, which means it requires special care. “The skin is thin and responsive to fluid shifts in the face,” Dr. Turner explains. “The fragile capillaries in the skin also contribute to… read more

By Olivia Wohlner, Editorial Assistant · Feb 10, 2021 Spending more time inside since COVID means constantly re-decorating our homes, and what better way to breathe some life into our spaces than with houseplants? While we’ve been reaping the mental benefits of our newly accumulated greenery, doctors say that these shelf-toppers are good for your skin, too. Plant Science According to Bloomfield Hills, MI dermatologist Linda C.
