Restylane has become one of the most recognizable names in injectable fillers, and its parent company, Galderma, has launched several hyaluronic acid (HA) subtypes over the last few years to serve a variety of aesthetic purposes. Restylane Kisse, for example, is indicated specifically for natural-looking lip volume, and Restylane Defyne has been used primarily to

In my very humble opinion, Megan Thee Stallion can do no wrong. She gives her Hotties (the nickname for her fan base) booty-bouncing music and always comes through with beauty inspiration, whether it’s in the form of Playboy-themed lipstick nails or a new brightly colored wig.

Every time I've decided to add a face oil to my skin-care routine has been filled with regrets. They always seem to feel like a pore-clogging layer of pizza grease smeared on my face that I want to wash off minutes after slathering on.

When the pandemic first sent everyone into stay-at-home mode and salons were forced to close for the sake of safety, the future of hair-color maintenance was unsure. At first, it seemed a lot of folks who normally visited colorists to cover their grays decided to grow them out for a bit. But when salons continued

If you thought dealing with blackheads, whiteheads, and cystic acne was hard, meet hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

Hair is never just hair. It's a direct reflection of you; it gives people a glimpse of who you are before you even open your mouth to speak. That's why coming back from a haircut that's too short or just not what you expected is so damn hard. Take it from Lana Condor. Back in

Pink hair was one of the biggest trends of 2020, thanks in part to pandemic-induced boredom and what has become very easy access to pastel hair dyes and color conditioners that can be used at home.

For people who‘ve undergone treatments for cancer, hair loss is a common but nevertheless stressful side effect. And, contrary to popular belief, the hard part isn’t over when your hair starts to return.

We all have our beauty-product pet peeves. OK, I have, like, a dozen. Among them are brands that claim their products are chemical-free (literally impossible), waterproof mascara that is somehow less waterproof than non-waterproof mascara (I'm not naming names here, but I could), and body scrubs that are basically just tubs of oil with a
