Finding the right deodorant can feel like a never-ending struggle, especially if you have sensitive skin. Many deodorants on the market contain harsh ingredients, like added fragrances or alcohol, that can cause irritation and leave your underarms red, itchy and uncomfortable. The armpit area, in particular, is prone to sweat and friction, which makes it […]
Toenail fungus. If the term makes you cringe, that’s understandable. It’s not pretty, and it’s rarely the topic of polite conversation. Yet fungal infections of the nails (fingernails included) are common — they affect roughly 10% of the general population, and rates increase significantly as we age. Fungal infections typically cause toenails to become thick, […]
Of all the anti-aging skin care products you can buy — from eye creams to serums to toners to exfoliators — facial moisturizers are probably the most familiar. Many of us grew up watching our mothers and grandmothers apply some type of face cream to soothe dryness, including familiar classics like Pond’s or Oil of […]
We often worry about finding the best eye creams or hyaluronic acid serums to help brighten and plump aging skin on our face — but many of us forget that the skin on our hands can age too. “Because hands are often exposed to things like the sun, harsh detergents and hot water, they can […]
I’ve been a beauty editor for more than a decade and, with fair skin that’s basically begging to be burned, I use sunscreen on my face every day. I slather it on as part of my morning routine to help minimize the UV damage that may cause cancer — but I’m also trying to prevent […]
If you were reveling in beach time, a desert hike or just a sunny backyard hang and got some painfully red skin to show for it, try not to beat yourself up too much — sunburn happens to the best of us. A sunburn is an inflammatory reaction to the sun’s UV rays having long-term […]
Just like baggy jeans, chokers and “The Rachel” haircut — old trends have a tendency to come back in style, and that applies to beauty and health products as much as ‘90s fashion throwbacks. If you assumed the recent surge of witch hazel in skincare products flooding both the beauty counters and TikTok is just […]
Summer means longer days, warmer temps, slathering on sunscreen and, for many people, lots more shaving. While shaving is a quick, effective, wallet-friendly way to remove body hair, it can also leave you with irritating, unsightly razor burn — the last thing you want when you’re living your best life floating around the pool. To […]
It feels like everyone is talking about red light therapy. Beyond the usual social media buzz, my mom recently told me that her esthetician recommends Solawave’s Skincare Wand for reducing wrinkles. Yahoo Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini is also a Solawave fan. Then, a friend shared that she uses a red light mask every day […]
Look, summer can mean lots of awesome things — rooftop dinners, beach getaways, maybe even half-days on Fridays if you’re lucky. I’m never going to tell you not to bask in the feeling of the sun on your skin, but I am going to warn you that if you’re not diligent about your sunscreen-ing, things […]
Misinformation about sunscreen and sun exposure is surprisingly common in young adults, which dermatologists say can have serious consequences. A new national survey by the Orlando Health Cancer Institute that included 1,021 U.S. adults found that about 1 in 7 (or 14%) adults under 35 think daily sunscreen use is more harmful to the skin […]
What’s often taken for granted, rarely spoken about, but used daily by more than 300 million Americans? Deodorant. In fact, the United States uses more deodorant than any other country. With so many brands and application types — like sticks, sprays, wipes, creams and roll-ons — finding the best deodorant and antiperspirant can sometimes feel […]
