You have a million things on your mind as you pack your bags and grab your passport, but skincare is probably the last thing you’re considering.
Travel affects your skin — usually for the worse. You’re stressed, dehydrated, and changing your routines. So how can you keep your skin looking its best? It’s simpler than you may think.
Travel skincare isn’t complicated, it just takes a little prep. Before you zip your suitcase, throw in your skinc...
Rosacea can be frustrating and embarrassing. You wake up with a fresh complexion, thinking today will be a good day for your skin. But then you step outside, only to realize your skin is cherry red once again.
Or maybe your face turns red for seemingly any reason – and stays that way for far too long. It seems even the smallest trigger makes your skin flush deeply and there’s no way to hide it.
Once diagnosed, many people are further frustrat...
You’ve got an itch to scratch. Literally.
It didn’t seem like a problem at first… and then it got worse. Maybe your foot started itching a few days ago and now it’s a red, scaly mess. Maybe you had a little spot on your calf that’s now spreading around your leg.
Sounds like a fungal infection.

Athlete’s foot and ringworm are two of the most common fungal infections — and most of us have dealt wi...
Zits always seem to appear when you need them the least. It’s the day before prom, graduation, a banquet, or… worse.. your wedding! What should you do?
It’s tempting to pop them, but unless you want an even redder, more swollen, longer-lasting pimple in its place, DON’T.
Instead, here’s an effective last-minute blemish treatment that won’t make your pimple worse.
The Best Last-Minute Blemish Treatment

Are you addicted to your lip balm?
Some of us feel like lip balm is a habit we can’t quit. We put it on every few minutes or at the slightest feeling of lip discomfort. If we leave for the day and realize we don’t have it with us, we make an emergency drugstore stop to pick some up.
Sometimes we apply chapstick without even knowing we’re doing it. We find ourselves putting it on our lips and think, “Did I just get this out?”

Embarrassed by your lip lines? You’re not alone.
Fine lines around the mouth are not only a telltale sign of aging, they’re also a sign of bad habits like smoking and tanning. And if you’re left with these unsightly wrinkles around your mouth, you’re probably a bit embarrassed about what caused them.
The best way to prevent more lip lines is obvious: stop those habits. But what about existing damage? Is there any treatment that will get rid...
We get it: most men aren’t thrilled about going to the dermatologist.
But who doesn’t want to look younger and feel better about their skin?
Looking great is just one benefit of seeing your dermatologist regularly. Men, if you haven’t already, it’s time to schedule your annual skin checkup. Here’s what it’ll do for you.

The more something costs, the better it is, right?
We often feel like a higher price tag means higher quality, but that’s not always true. Most expensive does NOT equal most effective.
In the cosmetic world, it’s easy to believe the more a product costs, the better it’ll be. But price isn’t what determines how good or effective a product is. The most expensive products aren’t always best for your skin. And even if it is a wonderful product, ...
Many people assume if they want great skin they just have to go to the dermatologist.
But in reality, that’s only the first step.
A visit to your dermatologist alone won’t clear up your skin problems. Great skin comes when you listen to their advice AND use the best products for your skin.
Yes, a visit to the dermatologist is the best place to start to fix our skin issues, but real change comes when you pair their services with effective, trustwort...
We all play favorites.
We choose our favorite necklace to perfectly complete an outfit. We slide on our favorite ring to remember our special day. We wear our favorite bracelet because it makes us think of a good friend (or we just like to hear it jingle when we move). And we add our favorite earrings for a little pizazz.
But what do we do when our favorite jewelry betrays us? When it leaves behind a red, itchy rash?
Unfortunately, if your jewelry is l...
