The oppressive humidity and scalding temperatures of Summer exacerbate any standard makeup gripes tenfold, but what no one’s sharing with you is that there is one single product that cures all these woes for up to 16 hours at a time. Yes, really! Melted foundation, oily skin, vanishing blush, even sun damage – these issues can all be solved with…
Using sunscreen is one of the most effective ways to defend your body against harmful UVs, but turns out, skin cancer could be lurking in places you wouldn’t even think to apply SPF. Researchers say melanoma can be found on the soles of the feet due to damage from walking or running. How can you get skin cancer on a…
Maybe you can’t pack a makeup bag without Urban Decay’s Primer Potion or imagine the days when you couldn’t just pop into Drybar for a blowout. Anastasia Beauty might be your favorite Instagram feed (it has over 10 million followers, after all), and you love watching YouTube celebrities show how to use the latest Tarte, Benefit, and Too Faced launches.…
Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Sarah Siegel I have always been a firm believer that black girls shouldn’t artificially tan. To me, using liquid enhancers on dark complexions just wasn’t necessary, and I’ve always feared that any form of enhancement to our natural complexions would end up in an orange Willy Wonka disaster. So when POPSUGAR’s senior beauty editor Lauren…
My longtime relationship with antiperspirants was like that of a social smoker and cigarettes: I knew they were ultimately harmful and comforted myself with the notion that I would one day just give them up for good. The problem is, I was never really certain when that day would come. I started using more intense antiperspirants just before college, which…
When I’m low on cash but highly stressed, I turn to affordable beauty treatments to soothe my frazzled nerves. One of my favorites is receiving a deep-tissue massage in Chinatown, NYC. I usually pay about $40 (tip included!) for a full hour of bliss. However, after a recent massage – which was wonderful, by the way – I started feeling…
Every abuela has one: that wild concoction she whips up from ingredients in her kitchen and swears by every time you have a pimple, dry skin, unruly hair – you name it. As kids, most of us rolled our eyes and went along with it, but we’ve done a little digging, and it turns out maybe Grandma wasn’t so crazy…
I am a really boring beauty editor. I don’t get Botox, fillers, or any fancy cosmetic dermatology treatments (sorry, I can’t give your mom a first-hand account of Fraxel). My hair is virgin, meaning I’ve never colored it. And my best tip for antiaging is to eat cleaner, because IMHO, beauty starts from within – as in the gut. That…
We know how important it is to religiously slather on sunscreen, but actually adhering to an application schedule can be challenging. When we’re out frolicking in the sun, we often forget to reapply SPF until hours later – when we’ve gotten some serious overexposure to UVA and UVB rays. And, of course, we miss those little random spots, including behind…
Achieving clear skin is nearly impossible without finding an effective routine and sticking to it. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular facial treatments are all a core part of stellar skin care, but the two work even better when used in conjunction with a religious regimen. If you’re on the road to clearing up your skin and need some effective…
