Taking care of your skin can downright feel like a chore. That’s why I like to think less is more, especially when it comes to a body care routine. After all, all you need is a solid cleanser, exfoliator, and hydrator to get started. When it comes to a moisturizer, I’d suggest trying the McEvoy Ranch Whipped Body Butter for a softer, firmer, and brighter complexion. It’s on sale now for $39 — and has Oprah’s stamp of approval. She included it in her Favorite Things List this year, saying it’s a “rich and luxurious moisturizer,” and I totally understand…

It’s easy to forget about certain parts of our bodies when taking care of your skin. While many of us prioritize the face, the skin on our neck and chest is just as important. In fact, it’s even more susceptible to dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, and visible looseness since the skin in that area is very thin and delicate. If you find that your neckline is lacking attention, add a neck cream into your daily routine to improve your skin’s texture and appearance.  Among the many options to choose from, it can be hard to determine which are effective at…

I never know what to wear to the office, especially when it comes to my bottoms. I want to look presentable, yet I’m not a fan of outfits that feel too stiff or constricting. Because let’s face it — I want to be as comfortable as possible, especially if I’m planning to sit for eight hours straight. While cozy sweatpants or leggings aren’t exactly office-appropriate, I need a professional-looking pair that feels just as good for all day-wear. Fortunately, there are plenty of styles at Spanx, including the Stretch Twill Cropped Wide-Leg Pants. They’re half-off right now for $49, and…

There’s no such thing as TMI in my life: I’m the go-to friend to get the full rundown on using a menstrual cup or getting a Brazilian wax for the first time. And as a beauty editor, I built a career out of testing and recommending products and healthy beauty routines. Which also means I am a guinea pig for new cosmetic treatments and products. I’ve gotten laser facials, trialed Daxxify when it first got FDA approval, and put every serum, lotion, and potion to the test to find the ones that actually deliver results.  We know many readers are…

It’s impossible to ignore when your hair is clearly stressed out. After all, it’s susceptible to all sorts of visible problems, like dandruff, hair loss, and limpness. While a few of these aren’t as easily solvable, you can at least manage dryness in minutes with plenty of remedies, including the Pure Nature Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner Set. More than 16,000 Amazon shoppers swear by it, and it’s on sale for $25 right now.

There are only a few celebrities I’ve actually met in person. And while it’s not from a lack of trying, I can say that I clearly remember every encounter as a result. Particularly, meeting Martha Stewart, whose skin at 83 years old looks absolutely radiant — so, it’s safe to say she knows a thing or two about taking care of skin. In fact, she’s been loyal to the skincare brand, Mario Badescu, for more than 40 years. Fortunately, Stewart’s aesthetician and facialist revealed all of her favorite products from the brand to revitalize skin, including the Peptide Renewal Serum. …

It’s been a surprisingly good year for my hair. There’s been less noticeable split ends, flaking, and even itchiness in my scalp. And despite applying heat to my strands constantly, I’ve also seen (along with family and friends) that it looks a lot stronger and fuller than before. Truthfully, I owe all my credit to hair growth treatments. Among my favorite ingredients, rosemary oil ranks top of my list for a natural solution.  Even experts agree that this nourishing ingredient can be beneficial for improving hair loss. “Rosemary oil contains ursolic acid, which helps to increase circulation to the scalp…

Oprah just released her 2024 Favorite Things List, and there are plenty of items to talk about. It’s stacked with all sorts of cart-worthy picks for every type of person, from cook enthusiasts to beauty lovers. While everything in the list looks tempting, I’m taking advantage of its wellness picks, starting with these comfy sneakers: the Saysh Evelyn Runners.  It’s the second year in a row that Oprah praised this footwear brand founded by the decorated Olympic Track and Field star Allyson Felix. She included the Felix Runners in last year’s list, calling them “super-plush” and a “winner,” and this…

Comfortable sneakers are a wardrobe must-have, especially if you’re someone who’s always on their feet. Because let’s face it — even simple activities such as commuting to work or standing all day can take a toll on anyone’s feet. And if you’re shopping for a new pair that are as cute as they are comfortable, it never hurts to turn to a celebrity-approved pair. Recently, Gwyneth Paltrow convinced me that the New Balance 327 sneakers should be next on my list to try.  New Balance 327 Sneakers  Zappos The actress sported these cool, retro-inspired shoes on Instagram, and they’re ideal…

A moisturizer is an essential staple in any skincare routine. And aside from the typical formulas, I like to take it up a notch with retinol body creams that take care of more than just my dry skin. The vitamin-A derivative is known for its firming, brightening, and acne-fighting benefits — so it’s a useful ingredient if you struggle with multiple skin concerns. Whether you’re in the market for a new formula or a first-time user, I’d suggest trying the Naturium Skin-Renewing Retinol Body Lotion, which Shape editors swear by.  Naturium Skin-Renewing Retinol Body Lotion  Amazon The retinol body cream…
