Unlike many wrinkle patches, Frownies are designed to smooth wrinkles and fine lines by acting as a cast, relaxing the muscles and preventing expressions that cause wrinkling as you sleep. Before applying, spray the patches with water to

Drinking can often feel sewn into the fabric of your twenties—the glittery, alcohol-fueled nights on the town, hazy after-work happy hours, and raucous Saturday morning bottomless brunches are ubiquitous in our culture. But some of today’s twenty-somethings are rewriting that script. “Among Gen Z, the proportion of people who choose not to drink is increasing

I’ve always loved the smell of hair products. Starting from when I was 6, I would sit next to my mother at the hair salon for the long process of getting matching “Mommy and me” perms.

This exfoliating mask from Drunk Elephant contains both AHAs and BHA—the “T.L.C.” part of its name comes from the tartaric acid, lactic acid, and citric acid inside the formula, which can “help with discoloration as well as fine lines and wrinkles,” says Dr. Garshick. “Because it packs a punch, it should only be used once

Before Brittani Frederick, a 39-year-old realtor from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, booked her first appointment with Milan Laser Hair Removal, she had been shaving her legs and underarms every day for the past 25-plus years—with less than ideal results. “I would shave in the morning, and by the end of the day, you could see

According to Romah, the answer really comes down to personal preference. “When you decide to choose between an LED and UV nail lamp, you should focus not only on your budget, but also on what you want to accomplish,” Romah says.
