I swipe on micellar water twice a day, every day, for my French-girl fresh skin, I rarely wash my hair (it’s tres chic!), and wear stripey shirts like it’s my job. And now I’m taking my Paris-approved regimen one step further by drowning my hair in micellar shampoo. I know, you’re probably gasping—I was shook upon learning that micellar water, AKA the magical cleansing ingredient that removes gunk from your skin, can work that same gunk-removing magic on your strands and your scalp, too. Color me intrigued. Basically, what micellar molecules do to your hair exactly what they do to your face: They gets rid of all the dirt without leaving your hair overly dry and damaged. “Micellar water shampoo formulas are ideal for an everyday shampoo because it cleans away the oil and gunk your hair has picked up during your day,” says Herbal Essences beauty scientist Rachel Zipperian. “The tiny but powerful cleaning micelles work so well because one side of the micelle is attracted to oil, the other end is attracted to water. During use, the micelle is activated so it can trap the oil and suspend it in water that is then rinsed away.” Basically, it’s molecular magic. Many of these formulas use this technology so that they can tap traditional cleansing agents (things like sulfates and coca-betaine) at lower levels.

Eco-keto makes a low-carb diet more environmentally friendly—but it’s not for everyone
June 05, 2019 at 11:46AM by CWC Ever since the ketogenic diet exploded into the mainstream last year, it’s spawned dozens of variations like keto cycling, targeted keto, dirty keto, and more. But as people are becoming more and more aware of the environmental impact of their favorite foods, another iteration of the eating plan aims to address some shortcomings of the red meat-heavy original: eco-keto. What’s that? Well, it’s like standard keto in terms of macronutrient breakdown of fat, protein, and carbs, but with a sustainable bent. “The exact definition of eco-keto is ever evolving and can be personalized. In essence, it’s an eco-friendly version of the ketogenic diet—a high fat, moderate protein, very low carb lifestyle, but one that emphasizes plants, limits or eliminates meat [and] animal products, and promotes sustainable choices and shopping locally,” explains Pam Nisevich Bede, MS, RD, CSSD, LD, a registered dietitian and keto expert with Abbott’s ZonePerfect. Unlike the more mainstream interpretation of the ketogenic diet (butter and bacon, anyone?), eco-keto involves zero (or very few) animal-based foods (hence the “eco” part of the name), while still putting a person into ketosis. The concept is very similar to the “Ketotarian” diet, which was started by Will Cole, DC. “The basic premise includes limiting animal products while still aiming to stay in ketosis. Dr. Cole started this trend, and eco-keto is merely an offshoot,” says Sam Presicci, MCN, RD, LD, CPT, and lead dietitian at Snap Kitchen. However, while Ketotarian followers can eat eggs, ghee,

This 6-move butt workout will give you a perkier peach in 5 minutes flat
June 05, 2019 at 11:29AM by CWC This morning, my butt and I experienced our first ever “chair Pilates” class at Chaise Fitness in New York City. And six hours later, I we are already sore. And when I checked myself out in the mirror after class, I swear that the derriere of mine looked perkier than it was when I walked in. Despite the fact that the Chaise class took place on a very fancy and effective piece of equipment (that looked and felt vaguely like a torture device), master trainer Lauren Pascone let me know that you can recreate the same type of booty-boosting workout at home on your own—all you need is a small medicine ball and some serious dedication (because, yes: it is that hard). Here, she shares her “butt blasting” workout, which targets your glutes, hamstrings, and lower abdominals, which will all amp up your ass in five minutes flat. It definitely did it to mine. Cycle through each move on the right, hold a quick child’s pose stretch, and then repeat on the left. Start kneeling on all fours with knees separated about a fist distance apart, shoulders aligned over wrists. If you need to modify, come down onto your forearms. Toe taps: Extend your right leg long behind you with a flexed foot and your leg straight. Lift your leg up until your heel is in line with your hip, then lower the leg back down and tap your toe on the ground. Repeat
