The key is paying attention to what your skin actually needs (instead of just layering on products because they’re trendy) so that you can properly personalize your cleaned-up routine. To help you hone in on what, specifically, your skin is asking for (since it won’t exactly speak up and tell you), you can take Weleda’s Skin Care Profiler Quiz, which will guide you to the types of products that will help your skin achieve max glowiness, without using any questionable chemicals. And you can trust that the clean counterparts will actually work.

To streamline your new game-plan, we rounded up 15 ways to take a holistic approach to supporting your skin, which you can incorporate one at a time or all at once for a total skin-care overhaul.

Palma is the sunny Spanish wellness mecca to bump up on your travel bucket list
October 02, 2019 at 01:55AM by CWC Barcelona, Madrid, and Valencia aren’t the only worthy destinations to consider for your next trip to Spain. Just a short flight off Spain’s eastern coast in the Mediterranean are the country’s Balearic Islands, the largest of which is Mallorca. And the capital, palm-tree-fringed Palma de Mallorca, is a resort city in the truest sense, enjoying a pleasant climate and more than 300 days of sunshine per year. Beyond its natural geographic draws like beautiful beaches, Palma de Mallorca offers plentiful options to fill the itinerary of any wellness-focused traveler. Between cultural attractions, a culinary scene full of plant-focused eateries and juice bars, and walkable neighborhoods with intriguing landmarks to explore, you won’t have a problem getting to 10,000 steps (if that’s your speed). There’s certainly no shortage of yoga studios or bike paths, either. But before you jet off to Palma de Mallorca, read on for some specific healthy recommendations to fill your time in this under-the-radar sun-splashed wellness mecca. Where to sweat On the boutique studio front, yogis should check out Zunray Yoga, tucked away on a side street in the city center. It offers a variety of classes in both Spanish and English so you can practice your postura del perro boca abajo or downward facing dog alongside locals, residents, and tourists. Ashtanga enthusiasts may prefer MYSORE Mallorca, and for barre devotees, there’s The Studio Lifestyle. If you’d rather soak up the sun (with your skin, protected, of course) and get
The $23 Korean tabletop makeup organizer Redditors can’t stop talking about
October 02, 2019 at 01:00AM by CWC Whether you’re a fan or not, you can’t deny that cosmetics queen Kylie Jenner sure knows how to organize her makeup. Me, on the other hand, not so much. My current method is putting my everyday products in one makeup bag, my rarely used ones in another, and then just dumping any odds and ends that don’t fit anywhere else in a very sad, very messy drawer. But thanks to a genius $23 solution, my situation might soon be worthy of a #shelfie. In a recent thread, a Redditor shared how she repurposed a dining table lazy susan—you know, those rotating trays—for her beauty products. That sparked another to drop a bombshell of a product in the comments: a Korean tabletop makeup organizer from Sanipoe on Amazon. It’s a total “game changer.” Between the other users who are equally in love with it and the 1,000 reviewers who rate it 4.4 of 5 stars, I totally believe the claim. According to the product description, the spinning makeup organizer can hold at least 30 makeup brushes, 20 skincare products, and all your beloved makeup items. From lipstick to eyeshadow, there’s a place for everything. It’s also customizable with adjustable heights and dividers that let you meet the needs of the products you’ll be storing. Basically, you’re just a spin or two away from the most organized makeup collection of your life. Organize the rest of your space with these genius tips to steal from
The Impossible Burger is *everywhere,* but is it truly healthy? Here’s what an RD thinks
October 01, 2019 at 11:00PM by CWC [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7Z88diSHVg] Impossible versus Beyond…which alt-burger comes out on top? Watch the video to find out. Remember when veggie burgers were pretty much synonymous with hockey pucks? The plant-based eating scene has changed a lot in the past few years, as proven by the notorious Impossible Burger. The 100-percent vegan burger mimics the texture, taste, and look (it’s even red in the middle) of your standard beef burger. But whether it’s good for you or not… many healthy eaters are still scratching their heads on that one. In the latest episode of You Versus Food, registered dietitian Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, RD, shares her official verdict on the health merits of the Impossible Burger—and how it compares to its “just like meat” rival, the Beyond Burger. In the pro column, the Impossible Burger has the same amount of protein as a beef burger, along with some key vitamins and minerals. “The Impossible Burger contains a ton of vitamin B12 and 25 percent of iron, which are both fab for energy,” Beckerman says. It also contains thiamine, which supports the body’s nervous system. Obviously, meat-based beef is a good source of iron in its own right. Beckerman says to replicate that in a plant-based version, Impossible Burger includes soy leghemoglobin, an iron-containing molecule found in soy plants. While this ingredient has been met with some controversy (and was subject to some extra FDA oversight before it was approved), Beckerman emphasizes that soy is not bad
