By Garrett Munce Nov. 4, 2022 9:00 am ET ONE MORNING LAST MONTH, I awoke to a text from a friend that said, “Man, I look old. What do I do?” He’s a handsome guy, just over 50, and I fired back reassurances. But his message prompted me to examine my own, 37-year-old face in the mirror.

Aging has never really scared me, but I’d rather not be mistaken for the Crypt Keeper anytime soon. So I began a hunt for a skin-care routine… read more

Those spots on your nose probably aren’t blackheads. By Amber Kallor 4.14.2021   Before you start squeezing, take a second to really look at your skin’s surface. That ever-present constellation of blackheads dotted across your nose, chin, forehead, or cheeks may not be blackheads or clogged pores at all.
