In recent years, the beauty industry has rallied behind a cause that resonates deeply with women worldwide — breast cancer awareness.

Yes, these face sunscreens will, at their best, help heal your existing skin conditions and improve the state of your skin, and at their worst, provide you with superb sun protection. That's a good deal, whichever way you look at it. Another thing that will make you feel good? Not compromising on both effective protection and pampering anymore.
No, you're not that bad; it's just that you haven't found the one (of) — yet. We wholeheartedly encourage you not to give up on your search for an effective natural deodorant; one that will keep you, at the very least, nodding to yourself and going: "I can live with this.", knowing that you're doing better for yourself and for our planet. We know that many disappointments lead to a lowered bar, in terms of expectations, but natural deodorants available to us now are with little likeness to how they were in their first years. Things move, develop, and happen fast in the beauty industry, but we, as consumers, have also become more demanding — nowadays, the brands are accommodating not just our need for odor-neutralizing, dry-feeling, safe, gorgeous-smelling, natural deodorants, but also our need for Earth-oriented and gender-inclusive products and packaging.
As the sun shines upon us more brightly, it is essential to wear sunscreen and smile big! Derms are here for all our summer & sun care tips, and thankfully, so is a cosmetic dentist and smile makeover expert, Dr. Daniel Rubinshtein. In this article, Dr. Daniel will shed light on the hidden dental dangers associated with our innocuous summertime indulgences, such as consuming lemon water, chewing ice, sipping on sports drinks, and even indulging in sparkling beverages.

This gorgeous, limited-edition palette consisting of 18 matte, shimmer, and metallic shades is just what the doctor ordered for the holiday season. The shadows are rich and pigmented with true color payoff, and the mirror is removable!
What we eat impacts way more than our waistlines and energy levels. It can have a dramatic impact on the health and look of our skin, hair and even nails. While the focus is often on what we shouldn't eat, focusing on what we should nourish our bodies with can be a more effective tactic.
After pushing out a baby, it's time for some pampering. Unfortunately, most of us aren't in the position to walk without wincing. Let alone get on a massage table or stand up long enough for a facial.
Surrounded by rocky formations, cool cacti and palm trees with wind gently sweeping through their fronds, I carefully dipped my big toe into the thermal water below me. The scenery is always different. Maybe I'm mountainside in an abandoned, mossy spring in Iceland or enjoying the atmosphere just outside Yellowstone National Park, but that "first dip" feeling is always a welcome one.
The right branding and packaging can normalize any product. No longer are vaginal bacteria-killing products and eczema creams banished to the back of your medicine cabinet. Even acne is being embraced thanks to brands like Starface , which turned brightly colored blemish patches into must-have accessories. Brands like Starface aren't all about style over substance, however. The industry-shifting products featured in the following slideshow work just as great as they look and effectively treat everything from boob sweat to thigh chafing.
Let's be real. Taking those five minutes morning, noon, and night to brush and floss your teeth isn't exactly the most exciting part of the day. In fact, it's pretty dang monotonous and there's great temptation to cut corners.

Your oral health is actually tied to your greater well-being and, more specifically, your heart health.

So, we've asked beauty experts for their picks of the under-the-radar hair, wellness and skin care brands that are totally worth a spot on your shelf.
At this point you'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't heard of Botox's ability to fight fine lines and wrinkles. "It's one of the number one treatments I do at my practice," says Dr. Dennis Gross, MD, a dermatologist and dermatological surgeon. "There's no golden age to start Botox — every person ages differently due to genetics and lifestyle choices and there's no age where you're too old for Botox. That being said, Botox is only FDA-approved and available for patients 18 and older." It's also worth underlining that Botox is not safe for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding and, those with a neurological disease, need clearance from their neurologist.
It's safe to say we're all about ready to bid adieu to 2020 and lean into the hope-filled prospects of a new year. For many, that also means making new resolutions that prioritize self-care, which includes our mental and physical health.
Move over acai, there's a new superfood on the block: Elderberries. Elderberries have a long history as a natural remedy — it was used traditionally by Native Americans and even the ancient Egyptians.
We all want to encourage our loved ones to indulge in a bit of self-care whether that means facilitating a workout, pampering their skin with clean beauty, loading their plate with healthy foods or ensuring they get good, quality sleep. If 2020 has taught us anything it's that health is wealth, so no matter your budget we've rounded up a variety of unique, health-minded holiday finds to delight anyone on your list .
