April 23, 2020 at 05:00AM Giving yourself a celeb-caliber facial at home might sound intimidating, but we’re here to break the joyful news that it definitely doesn’t have to be. Sure, there are a number of steps involved and it’s definitely the kind of self-care ritual to indulge in when you have some extra time on your hands, but we’re fully convinced our at-home routine is *almost* as transformative as an in-office booking. (That said, you’ll save yourself a large booking fee and some painful extractions!) As beauty editors, Courtney and I are well-versed in the art of home facials. We’ve tested enough products, chatted up enough dermatologists, and experienced plenty of professional-level treatments to know how to re-create a truly indulgent glow-up from the comfort of our own homes. That said, to back our regimens with some extra expert guidance, I asked one of L.A.’s most sought-after celeb facialists, Candace Marino, to break down a 10/10 at-home experience step by step. Then, Courtney and I filled in the blanks with all the specific formulas we rely on no matter the state that stress, lack of sleep, or one too many glasses of wine throws our skin into. So take a deep breath, tap that diffuser, light a candle, turn on your humidifier, put together a playlist, and have at it. Your expert-led guide for how to execute the facial of all facials at home is just below. Keep scrolling! First and foremost, Marino says to start your at-home facial

Beauty Editors Told Me the Super-Hydrating Products They Covet for Glowing Skin
April 23, 2020 at 05:00AM Skincare is something I’ve been obsessing over since high school. I had problem skin when I was younger, so I spent countless hours testing different doctor-prescribed treatments as well as finds from beauty counters and drugstores. Once I was finally able to achieve clear skin, I worked hard to keep it that way, and in my adult life, I’ve found a skin regimen that works for me, but I’m always on the hunt for new products vetted by industry experts to try out myself. Curious to find out which products beauty editors swear by for glowing skin, I asked some to tell me about the super-hydrating ones they love. Here, they’re sharing their top-shelf favorites, from collagen-packed sheet masks and plumping serums to an antioxidant-packed serum that’s “magic in a bottle.” Ahead, see their picks and some personal favorites that are always stocked in my medicine cabinet. The name says it all. This truly is a hydration booster. Packed with hyaluronic acid—an ingredient that can penetrate beneath your skin’s surface—it’s a scientifically proven hydrator. I love wearing this all over my face as a serum for instantly dewy skin. And at just $20, it is one of my all-time favorite affordable beauty finds. This gel-based face moisturizer from 3Lab is an investment buy, but it’s a product line I’ve been using for years that I really trust. While I’ve tested a number of buzzy moisturizers, I always return to this magic product for super-hydrated, glowing skin. I’ve been

I’m in My 30s and All of My Friends Swear By These 27 Beauty Products
April 23, 2020 at 08:00AM There are a few things getting older has taught me: Never buy cheap tights, a black roll-neck goes with everything and investing in beauty products in your 30s is a must. While I might be lucky enough to look younger than my age, I’m still 35 and need to take care of my skin, so that means finding the right products for me. That’s not to say it has to be expensive, though—there are plenty of products that are affordable. However, I am but one woman, so I turned to three of my friends (also in their 30s) and asked them what products they swear by. I’m lucky that I’ve known most of my closest girlfriends for over 20 years. As part of the same group of friends, you can imagine that we’re unflinchingly honest with each other, which means I trust them to tell me exactly what they like. They revealed which brands and type of products really work for them and what they’re looking for to help their skin. Below, you’ll see three of my friends and their skincare must-haves and why, plus the products I rate to keep my skin in check. Friend #1 said she swears by this for her legs, even though she’s struggled to get hold of it right now. This is also one of my personal favourites too. Kiehl’s lightweight oil is great for making your skin look refreshed the next morning. Hydration is so much more important than before,
If You’re Suffering From “Tech Neck,” These Firming Products Will Help
April 23, 2020 at 06:30AM We’re not sure about you, but working from home is really starting to take its toll on our bodies. As grateful as we are to have the luxury of being able to continue to work from the comfort of our homes, there’s no doubt that the physical aspect of it can have its drawbacks. Where daily commutes, coffee runs and lunch breaks once kept us moving and active, office chairs, desk setups and large computer screens helped support our posture and remove the risks of aches and pains. Fast-forward to today and the majority of us are hunched over laptops, slumped on the sofa or cramped on a chair under some sort of makeshift desk. And it would seem that these working-from-home office environments are already starting to have a negative impact. From backaches to neck pain, people far and wide are starting to complain of the ways that their bodies are reacting to the change in their workspace. A common issue that we have seen crop up time and time again is that of “tech neck”—the feeling of pressure/tension in the neck and back and the appearance of lines, jowls and creases in the skin as a result of constantly looking down at technology, often at a 45-degree angle. If you can relate to this issue or want to get one step ahead, here’s all there is to know and a roundup of the very best neck-firming products around. The recently coined term “tech neck” refers
