As someone who reviews products for a living, it takes something truly spectacular to stand out enough to be considered a holy-grail favorite.

In a world where new products are being thrown in your face daily, it can be overwhelming to keep up with what’s truly worth your investment—which is why I decided to put this list together.

How to Use Vitamin C Serum The Right Way

Lindsay Silberman — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 10:11:00 +0000

You probably know that you should be using a vitamin C serum in your skincare routine every day. But do you know why? And are you even using it properly? Here’s a little refresher. How to Use Vitamin C Serum Because vitamin C helps protect your skin from pollution, ultraviolet light, and free radicals, you’re going to want to use it in the morning rather than in the evening. If you’ve never used vitamin C or if you have sensitive skin, start by applying the serum every other day for the first two weeks to combat any side effects. Also it’s important to keep in mind that as a rule of thumb, skincare products should typically be applied from “thinnest” to “thickest” in terms of consistency. Regardless of your skin type, there are numerous benefits […]

My Tried-and-True Morning Routine for Skin

Kara Thompson — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 16:03:50 +0000

After years of testing hundreds (maybe even thousands) of beauty products, I’m happy to report that I’ve totally nailed my morning skincare routine. With so much information out there about the best skincare practices and highly coveted products, I know it can be overwhelming to differentiate quality tips from bogus advice. Having a solid skincare routine in place is essential for the overall health and appearance of your complexion. And while your skin’s needs might change throughout the month and season, following a routine can help combat issues like acne, clogged pores, and sun damage. Here, I’m sharing the morning routine that I’ve found to work best for a variety of skin types. These steps are simple yet they’ll properly prepare your skin for the day ahead—as well as provide the protection you need from […]

How to Use Hyaluronic Acid The Right Way

Lindsay Silberman — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 09:43:00 +0000

One ingredient that has become ever more popular in skincare in recent years is hyaluronic acid—and it has developed a loyal fan base of the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Khloe Kardashian, and Scarlett Johansson. Why? Well, that’s easy. The benefits of hyaluronic acid for the skin are pretty extraordinary. It’s known as the ultimate “plumping” ingredient and helps give your skin a bouncy, youthful, firmer texture. We’ll go more in-depth into all the other added benefits later in the article, and we’ll also share the absolute best hyaluronic acid serums on the market (including our thoughts on the famously cheap—and famously popular—The Ordinary HA serum.) But first, let’s start by addressing the most basic question: how do you use hyaluronic acid? See below for the full skincare scoop. How to use Hyaluronic Acid Step 1: […]

Drunk Elephant Reviews: The Best (and Worst!) Drunk Elephant Products

Lindsay Silberman — Sat, 02 Mar 2024 19:39:00 +0000

Drunk Elephant, founded by Tiffany Masterson in 2012, has achieved cult-like status among influencers and skincare newbies alike. Originally designed by Masterson to address her skin’s issues, the brand boasts a following of nearly 2 million followers on Instagram who are loyal to both Drunk Elephant and Masterson herself. Their claim to fame is the decision to exclude the “Suspicious 6” ingredients from their products: essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes, and SLS. Masterson believes that these ingredients are at the root of every skin issue and, when removed, your skin is able to return to its healthiest, most-balanced state. Drunk Elephant currently boasts a line-up of skincare, body, and haircare products, as well as a number of product duos and sets. Their customers have been consistently impressed with the quality and efficacy […]

Dr. Dennis Gross Peel Pad Review

Kara Thompson — Fri, 27 Oct 2023 03:59:17 +0000

In 2012, I sat across from a girl at work who had the most amazing skin. I remember every day when I would come into the office, I would stare at her skin and admire how glowy it was (no shame.) Eventually, I decided to ask her what she used in her skincare routine because I had noticed that her skin was always so glowy and pretty. That was when she told me that she swore by Dr. Dennis Gross Peel Pads. I went out and bought them that day and I’ve been using them consistently ever since. That is 11 years, and I always say that it’s probably the most loyal I’ve ever been to a single skincare product in my life. I truly think these peel pads should be part of everyones basic […]

This in-depth Ilia Skin Tint review includes honest unsponsored feedback from three women with three different skin tones and skin types. Read on to hear our thoughts! When it comes to my everyday makeup—and more specifically my foundation—I tend to stay loyal to products that I already know and love. (My regular rotation includes IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Illumination, Armani Luminous Silk, and Bobbi Brown Longwear Weightless Foundation.) But after hearing so much about Ilia Skin Tint, and seeing so many of their refreshingly unfiltered Facebook ads featuring real women applying the product, I was curious about trying it out for myself. Below you’ll find my honest thoughts, as well as some before and after photos. I also decided to enlist two fellow beauty lovers (Kristin Smith of KrispxKristin, and Danielle Cohen of Yellow Sweats) […]
