If you thought dealing with blackheads, whiteheads, and cystic acne was hard, meet hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The chronic inflammatory condition, thought to be related to acne, is a condition that's not only difficult to pronounce but is also incredibly difficult to live with, too. Estimated to affect about one to four percent of the global

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

I've been dealing with acne for so long that oftentimes, I forget what my clear, baby-faced skin once looked like back in middle school. If you, too, have been

The cherry on top of this unprecedented, difficult year is actually more like a cyst. Or a whitehead. Or a blackhead. As many readers have discovered firsthand, periods of stress can lead to an increase in a stress hormone called cortisol, which in turn causes breakouts — and not necessarily on the face. Pandemic stress-induced

Everyone who gets a tattoo goes into the shop knowing that how it looks at the end of the session is the most sharp and vibrant it's ever going to look. Once healed, work done by a talented, professional tattoo artist will still look fresh and vivid, but from that point on, other factors play

The Black community loves Vaseline. The 1.75-ounce tub of petroleum jelly is a staple in many households to combat ashiness — especially during the cold winter months — and it's responsible for the dewy glow on so many Black children's faces.  Now, the skin-care brand is deepening its connection with the Black community through its

Look, we all get acne. Some people get more than others, but it's something we all experience at one point or another (or a lot of different points). The scarring and hyperpigmentation that can result from acne, in turn, is also a sheer fact of life — so why do we applaud people so aggressively

Chances are, you clicked on this article because you're a big fan of Alo Yoga, the California-based activewear brand known for its incredibly comfortable workout clothing and high-quality yoga gear. (If you're a yogi and haven't tried one of its mats yet, what you waiting for?) Now, after nearly 14 years on the market, the

Thirty percent of Americans have at least one tattoo. For the rest of the population, there's been the option of a temporary version for at least a century. But it's just recently that fleeting tattoos have become a varied and nuanced art form much like their permanent counterparts. Many companies now collaborate on designs with

Navel piercings have long been a ubiquitous symbol of sex appeal and youth, especially during MTV's TRL era of the early aughts; belly button rings were everywhere, and the accompanying shimmering hardware was displayed proudly. Fast forward almost 20 years, and many of those teens with belly button piercings have become parents. "Navel piercings in

At long last, four months after E.L.F. announced that Alicia Keys would be joining its family with a new "lifestyle beauty brand," Keys Soulcare is here. And, as promised in a September update, three products, which the brand refers to as the First Ritual when used together, have arrived. Arguably the most highly anticipated of

Here's the least surprising fact, possibly, ever: "The number one thing that people ask me about, more than movies or music or anything, is my skin," says Jennifer Lopez, 51, who, for the record, has been in 31 movies and released eight studio albums and 47 singles. "It's always been on my mind, and it's

As far as skin-care lovers are concerned, Dr. Dennis Gross is synonymous with exfoliation. Although Gross is many things, including a brand founder and a practicing board-certified dermatologist, he's best known for the many variations of exfoliating products he's introduced to the world. (Gross's best-selling Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel Pads introduced me to the concept

Schitt's Creek ending its hilarious run was mood-ruining enough without the skin-care collaboration it inspired — Rose Apothecary x Beekman 1802 — selling out faster than you can say "Ew, David." But while the show may not be coming back, the limited-edition beauty collection is. Originally launched (and tragically depleted) in January 2020, Beekman 1802's

Shai Eisenman, the CEO and Founder of Bubble, is 29 years old. A founder's age isn't typically on my list of interview questions, but Bubble, a new skin-care company created "with teens, for teens," is all about adolescence.  Eisenman treated me to an early cut of the brand's launch video, which features Jazz Jennings, Laurie

Halle Berry celebrated her return to work this week with a very-quarantine era photo — a makeup-free selfie. The actor is radiant as she stares straight-to-camera, hiding a smile. She took the photo from a cozy couch with lots of natural light pouring in, the better for her 6 million followers to see her poreless-seeming

"Sometimes you need to cleanse your spirit. Sometimes you just need to cleanse your mind. Sometimes you've just got to get rid of some dead skin." Pharrell Williams' voice washes over its listener clean and cool, like a stream of water descending on a pebble. "Sometimes you've got to get rid of some bad habits.
