Behind the Cover In our social-driven age, there’s something so engaging about watching a good glam squad in action. Whether it’s the flurry of award’s season or a special night out, the dynamic between a star and their go-to beauty team is fascinating. Seeing how it all ends is great, but seeing that up-close, behind-the-scenes story is even better. That’s why we’re excited to share our Spring-Summer cover star, Jordana Brewster. As Brewster tells us, she’s a “beauty junkie” who is very into skin care—so much so that the model-actress agreed to be photographed in a set of shots with just skin care during our shoot. Her makeup artist, Ermahn Ospina, stresses the importance of skin care—he loves masks, serums and hydration, hydration, hydration—saying it’s the base to any look he creates and is what always makes makeup work better. Of course, Brewster looks great bare-faced or in full glam, but there’s something empowering about knowing how many options are out there when it comes to what you choose.

OUR FIRST 15 A FEW OF OUR FIRSTS
Bringing the magazine to life in a brick-and-mortar format, we opened a NewBeauty store in 2007. The curated selection of editor and doctor favorites helped take the guesswork out of the always-tricky beautyproduct shopping process.
LAUNCH When it hit stands in 2005, NewBeauty carved a specific niche: being the only magazine 100-percent dedicated to beauty—and we haven’t wavered in the 15 years since. Created to fill a void where real, in-depth and trusted beauty information was nearly impossible to find, NewBeauty has grown into a leading powerhouse luxury brand that empowers women everywhere.
FIRST magazine with an Editorial Advisory Board comprised of leaders in their respective fields that truly had input into the content creation and editorial claims in the magazine. FIRST beauty magazine to be priced at $9.95. We were confident that the right consumers would see the value—and we were right.
T HE CO NCE P T ST O RE
Internationally renowned plastic surgeon Robert Singer, MD was the first prominent leader in the aesthetics space to support our mission, and he still does today.

Launched prestige sampling in-store, including at Nordstrom, Henri Bendel, Barnes & Noble and Dillard’s.
FIRST to invent beauty sampling with The TestTube in 2006, a revolutionary program that is still going strong today. FIRST to establish a 360-retail experience by bringing the magazine to life and delivering unique content for the most discerning and educated beauty consumers.
NB59_Timeline.indd 22
CRE AT E D A CAT E G O RY NewBeauty was the first to offer a paid subscription sampling program to consumers in 2006 with the launch of the TestTube. Offering readers a truly one-of-a-kind experience that allows them the opportunity to try the products featured in the magazine, TestTube has delivered 10 million products and filled nearly 1 million beauty cabinets around the world to date.
SAM P LE B A R
With a simple swipe of a credit card and the push of a button, the before-its-time NewBeauty SampleBar reinvented the beauty routine via a vending machine—just one more way for consumers to discover the products our editors were loving.

In 2010, TestTube debuted on QVC and SOLD OUT in less than eight minutes!
B E AUT Y DNA Through patented technology, BeautyDNA launched a groundbreaking product-matching service with an unparalleled level of personalization.
Recognized by The Aesthetic Society for our article on “Dangerous Beauty: How to Avoid Plastic Surgery Nightmares,” proving once more that our commitment to safety is unmatched.
BEAUTY IN FLUE NCE R PA NE L
Pre-advent of the everyone-is-an-influencer age, there was the Beauty Influencer Panel, a reader-powered group of experts the editorial team relied on for product testing and general feedback.

Received an industry FOLIO award for our surgery-specific content, a win for both the magazine and the aesthetics industry. Our very first Beauty Awards, now celebrating 10 years!
COMING SOON
IN-STOR E VI DE O STUDIO+CONTENT CRE ATIO N
Next up in 2020: NewBeauty Edit, the ultimate beauty curation experience for travelers passing through LAX airport. The store will include beauty-to-go, both editor and doctor recommendations, and a completely modern take on beauty sampling.
As the first brand to really capture the power of video and interaction with the consumer, NewBeauty took over the cult-following beauty department at Fred Segal Santa Monica. Although the store has since closed, it set the stage for our current video platform, which hits everything from live surgical procedures to behind-the-scenes celebrity interviews.

When NewBeauty launched in 2005, the magazine set itself apart with a single, fact-checking force: the NewBeauty Medical Advisory Board. Comprising the most forward-thinking doctors and researchers in the aesthetics and beauty industry, the Board was established to ensure NewBeauty consistently delivered rigorously researched, scientifically grounded information to its readers—a not-so-standard task. As part of this relaunch, we’re introducing the NewBeauty Brain Trust, an evolution of our editorial advisory board, to help us deliver expert-fueled and -vetted content to our loyal readers. While we put great thought into the thinkers, innovators and beauty voices of the industry to come up with this collective, and we are excited to integrate their expertise in helping us develop cutting-edge content, the editors are still the editors—the writers and content creators behind the magazine. The only difference is now, they have 100 people to help offer their expertise.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Using JEUVEAU with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your healthcare provider that you have received JEUVEAU in the past.
Especially tell your healthcare provider if you: have received any other botulinum toxin product in the past and the last 4 months, and exactly which product you received (such as BOTOX, BOTOX Cosmetic, MYOBLOC, DYSPORT, or XEOMIN). JEUVEAU may cause loss of strength or general muscle weakness, vision problems, or dizziness within hours to weeks of treatment with JEUVEAU. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities. JEUVEAU can cause other serious side effects including: allergic reactions such as itching, rash, red itchy welts, wheezing, trouble breathing, asthma symptoms, or dizziness or feeling faint. Tell your healthcare provider or get emergency medical help right away if you develop wheezing or trouble breathing, or if you feel dizzy or faint. Heart problems. Irregular heartbeat and heart attack that have caused death, have happened in some people who received botulinum toxin products. Eye problems such as dry eye, reduced blinking, and corneal problems. Tell your healthcare provider if you develop eye pain or irritation, sensitivity to light, or changes in your vision. The most common side effects include: headache; eyelid drooping, upper respiratory tract infection, and increased white blood cell count.

Olfactory Journey My brain had that ‘Vera Wang was 40 when she designed her first dress’ story playing on repeat for my most recent birthday. An effective grounding technique, no doubt, and then I met Sophie Guillon, an equally strong reminder that it’s never too late to do whatever you want. Before she was CEO of the Valmont Group, before she launched 300-plus SKUs, the self-described “creation addict” worked at YSL Beauté, in a position where she helped dream up some of the house’s best-selling fragrances. Some 30-plus years later, she’s back to her roots in a big way, launching two Venice-inspired fragrance collections under the Collezione Privata and Palazzo Nobile lines. Guillon crafts the compositions, her husband designs the bottles, and she says this is only the beginning. $180–$290, saks.com

Fringe Benefits I’ve always been a fan of Anastasia Beverly Hills, and its first-ever mascara launch— Lash Brag Volumizing Mascara—has just solidified that. It delivers major volume and length without any annoying undereye smudging or flaking. I even apply it to my lower lash line for a Twiggy-inspired fringe and it doesn’t smear. The hourglassshaped brush hugs every lash and creates insane fullness for both day and night makeup looks. I like to wear big glasses in the office, and my eyelashes are so long, they literally touch the frame. $25, anastasiabeverlyhills.com

True Believer I block out time in my schedule for consistent workouts and healthy meal planning. The result: feeling more balanced and a stronger body. Despite my newfound conscious choices, toning certain areas of my body after two kids and checking the mid-40 box was hard, and I wanted to look as great as I felt. Enter TruSculpt. It uses radio-frequency heat to permanently destroy fat cells in targeted areas. Efficiency is my love language, and TruSculpt speaks directly to me. You can treat multiple areas at once in less than an hour—I treated my love handles and outer thighs—and it felt warm, but never uncomfortable. Even better, I saw results in two months, and it only took one treatment! trusculpt.com

Two life-changing things have already happened this year: I met my idol Oprah, and I finally mastered my blowout. Meeting the Queen of Talk on the first stop of her 2020 Vision Tour (partnered with WW), was beyond surreal— I’m still smiling. Coming in a close second was finding Drybar’s Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush. I never picked up the round brush technique, so finding this timesaver— which gives me a salon-worthy blowout in less than 10 minutes—has been very empowering. If you can DIY a good blowout, you can do anything. $150, drybar.com

Meditation in a Jar I’ve yet to conquer the art of meditation, but the minute or so I take every night to remove my makeup by way of cleansing balm—even when a wipe feels so tempting—is something I’ve come to look forward to. The time it takes for the balm to melt down to an oil (I also give myself a facial massage to release tension) gives me the perfect window to just breathe and leave the stress of the day behind me. My balm of choice, as of late: lilah b. Aglow Cleansing Butter, which transforms into a rich, milky wash when mixed with water, and even better, has a natural lavender scent to make my “me-time” feel a little bit more serene. $44, lilahbeauty.com

Until recently, I did not take care of the skin on my body the way I did my face—I think many of you can relate. It was embarrassingly dry and borderline irritated, but I was “too busy.” Then, a flurry of powerful new body products hit my desk, and I realized it was time to ditch the excuses and whip my skin into shape. My first move: swapping my body wash out for one with more nourishing benefits: OLAY’s new Body Wash with Hyaluronic Acid hydrated my skin like a charm. I also moved Nécessaire’s fragrance-free The Body Serum and Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Balance Body Lotion (it smells incredible) from my bathroom counter to my shower so they’d be front and center, unable to be ignored. I found that layering the two formulas on damp skin was the answer to my problems. Within two weeks, my skin was significantly smoother and nearly bump-free. For just an extra two minutes a day, I get to feel markedly more confident in my skin. OLAY: $11, cvs.com; Nécessaire: $45, necessaire.com; Bath & Body Works: $13.50, bathandbodyworks.com

XEOMIN (incobotulinumtoxinA) IMPORTANT CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
Read the Medication Guide before you start receiving XEOMIN (Zeo-min) and each time XEOMIN is given to you as there may be new information. The risk information provided here is not comprehensive. To learn more: • Talk to your health care provider or pharmacist • Visit www.xeominaesthetic.com to obtain the FDA-approved product labeling • Call 1-866-862-1211
USES: XEOMIN is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults for a short period of time (temporary). It is not known if XEOMIN is safe and effective in children under 18 years of age. WARNINGS XEOMIN may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you have any of these problems anytime (hours to weeks) after treatment with XEOMIN: • Problems with swallowing, speaking, or breathing can happen within hours to weeks after an injection of XEOMIN if the muscles that you use to breathe and swallow become weak. Death can happen as a complication if you have severe problems with swallowing or breathing after treatment with XEOMIN. • People with certain breathing problems may need to use muscles in their neck to help them breathe and may be at greater risk for serious breathing problems with XEOMIN. • Swallowing problems may last for several months, and during that time you may need a feeding tube to receive food and water. If swallowing problems are severe, food or liquids may go into your lungs. People who already have swallowing or breathing problems before receiving XEOMIN have the highest risk of getting these problems. • Spread of toxin effects. In some cases, the effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas of the body away from the injection site and cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. The symptoms of botulism include: loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing. These symptoms can happen hours to weeks after you receive an injection of XEOMIN. These problems could make it unsafe for you to drive a car or do other dangerous activities. Do not use XEOMIN if you are allergic to XEOMIN or any of the ingredients in XEOMIN (see the end of this Guide for a list of ingredients in XEOMIN), had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin products such as rimabotulinumtoxinB (MYOBLOC®), onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®, BOTOX® COSMETIC), or abobotulinumtoxinA (DYSPORT®) or have a skin infection at the planned injection site.
Using XEOMIN with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received XEOMIN in the past. Especially tell your doctor if you • have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last four months • have received injections of botulinum toxin such as rimabotulinumtoxinB (MYOBLOC®), onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®, BOTOX® COSMETIC) and abobotulinumtoxinA (DYSPORT®) in the past. Be sure your doctor knows exactly which product you received. The dose of XEOMIN may be different from other botulinum toxin products that you have received. • have recently received an antibiotic by injection • take muscle relaxants • take an allergy or cold medicine • take a sleep medicine Ask your doctor if you are not sure if your medicine is one that is listed above. Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of your medicines with you to show your doctor and pharmacist each time you get a new medicine. Possible Side Effects XEOMIN can cause serious side effects that can be life threatening including allergic reactions. Symptoms of an allergic reaction to XEOMIN may include: itching, rash, redness, swelling, wheezing, asthma symptoms, or dizziness or feeling faint. Tell your doctor or get medical help right away if you get wheezing or asthma symptoms, or if you get dizzy or faint. See “Warnings.” The most common side effect of XEOMIN in people with glabellar lines includes: • headache These are not all the possible side effects of XEOMIN. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE USE OF XEOMIN Medicines are sometimes prescribed for purposes other than those listed in a Medication Guide. You can ask your pharmacist or doctor for information about XEOMIN that is written for health professionals.

Total Recall If the year 2020 has brought about anything, it is the scary math calculation that there’s the same amount of time between now and 2050 as there was between 1990 and now (yikes!). So, before another 30 years fly by in a blink, here’s what top doctors predict we’ll be seeing when we step into their offices of the future.

In the year 2050…
New York Dermatologist Marina Peredo, MD:
Old Lyme, CT Plastic Surgeon Vinod Pathy, MD:
Atlanta Cosmetic Dentist Ronald Goldstein, DDS:
“ Telehealth will have a large niche in plastic surgery by 2050, streamlining care and reducing the need for live follow-ups. Virtualreality technology with sensors will provide further added value to the growth of telehealth.”
“ We will be able to prepare clinical exam rooms with soothing colors, scenes and even scents based on the patient’s desires and psychological makeup determined in advance by the staff; I see all of that conferring with the patient’s personal computer.”

How It Works
Stop the Presses
U.S. Debut
As the R&D team from the Amorepacific Future Technology Lab (IOPE’s parent brand) explain, the process merges science and skin care with a swiftness: Via an app that measures facial contours, the printer creates a hydrogel, ingredient-infused, perfectly fitting face mask in just five minutes.
The printing process is fascinating to watch: Little vials of the hydrogel, packed with specifically chosen ingredients like hyaluronic acid, quickly form a mask, which—while it doesn’t look like the standard— fits like a glove, to the point that it’s nearly invisible.
The printer will launch in IOPE’s Seoul flagship store starting in April, but—fingers crossed—the brand tells us that a “U.S. debut will hopefully follow not too far behind.” apgroup.com

The Bee’s Knees Cleopatra added honey to her baths, Nefertiti cherished it for glowy skin and the Romans presented it to their gods as a gift. More than just a yummy sweetener and sore throat soother, honey also offers skin-care benefits. But, not all types are created equal. Here’s why manuka honey is considered the crème de la crème for a radiant complexion. —Brittany Burhop Fallon

It has impressive antibacterial properties. “Manuka honey actually gets its name from the manuka bush in New Zealand— and some parts of Australia, too—which the bees there pollinate,” says Michael Bumgarner, founder of Cannuka, a skincare line featuring manuka honey and CBD. “The manuka bush is part of the tea tree family, and tea tree has long been revered for its antimicrobial, antifungal attributes, which get passed to the honey. This makes it more therapeutic for the skin than raw or regular honey.” Manuka also contains a higher concentration of methylglyoxal (MG), which boosts the honey's antibacterial powers. “MG has
NB59_Obsessed Manuka Honey.indd 50
been shown in petri dishes to reduce or stop the growth of staphylococcus aureus and E. coli,” says cosmetic chemist Stephen Alain Ko. “Another manuka perk is its low water activity: Most pathogenic bacteria require water to grow, but the sugars in honey can bind to water, preventing bacteria from using the water. This can hinder the growth and survival of harmful microbes.” Beverly Hills, CA dermatologist Rhonda Rand, MD says these properties are what make manuka honey a useful tool in dermatology, too. “Doctors all over the world use it to treat skin wounds, ulcers and burns,” she adds.

It’s chock-full of antioxidants. When we think about antioxidants in skin care, vitamins C and E typically come to mind, but honey possesses powerful antioxidant effects as well. “Our skin is exposed to pollution, visible light, infrared heat and UV rays almost every day, and these are all sources of oxidative stress (free radicals) that ultimately lead to collagen destruction,” says New York dermatologist Whitney Bowe, MD. “Manuka honey can neutralize many of these free radicals, thus protecting our skin from damage, calming down inflammatory mechanisms and slowing down the aging process. When you use products with manuka honey, you are more likely to preserve the collagen you already have.”

It’s a super hydrator.
One of manuka’s most prized traits is that it can actually draw moisture from the air and pull it into the skin. “Keeping skin hydrated is one of the most important ways to help deter signs of aging,” Bumgarner notes. “Manuka honey has the ability to retain water in the skin without creating an oily feeling.” Because of this, “it’s excellent for chronic skin conditions characterized by dryness and overgrowth of harmful microorganisms,” says Dr. Bowe, who finds it especially useful for soothing eczema and rosacea.

An organization of beekeepers, producers and exporters called the Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association uses a rating system called Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) to ensure the quality of each batch. “The higher the UMF number, the stronger its antibacterial power,” says Dr. Rand. However, most beauty brands don’t include a UMF on their products, as they’re not required to do so.

Mentor Talks: Miami Edition
NewBeauty hosted it’s second Mentor Talks, an event for attendees to explore all things new, innovative and cutting-edge in the breast aesthetics space at the stunning Carillon Miami Wellness Resort.
Mentor and NewBeauty held a diverse discussion on the topic of discovering the journey to breast augmentation and reconstruction. In today’s environment where there is confusion about various breast implant options, questions about patient safety and lingering stigma around procedures, Mentor informed attendees about the process of choosing plastic or reconstructive surgery. NewBeauty’s Editor-at-Large Sarah Eggenberger moderated the panel discussion between patients, doctors, influencers, and Mentor’s worldwide president. Guests participated in a conversation on the decision-making process of whether to get plastic or reconstructive surgery. Many noted that the process includes ample research, conversations with friends and family, and consultations with doctors. Board-certified plastic surgeons weighed in on the dynamic conversation and touted the importance of working with your doctors on the right journey

for you, as well as the results to expect. “Don’t base your decision off of anyone else, you have to listen to yourself. What works for one doesn’t work for another, so we must carefully decide together what is best,” says Miami plastic surgeon Silvia Rotemberg, MD. Miami Beach, Fl plastic surgeon Ary Krau, MD gave his perspective on the emotional journey. “About 99% of my patients are happier than they’ve ever been with their bodies. It’s life-changing, beyond the physical. I notice a difference with a renewed sense of self-assurance, knowing they are now reflecting to the world how they see themselves.” Mentor takes great pride in ensuring patients feel supported and educated. Diane Gomez-Thinnes, worldwide president, shared that “Mentor strongly believes patients should feel empowered and confident in the choices they make in partnership with their surgeons. The patient is the one
who needs to communicate what outcome she wants, and we at Mentor are completely aligned with supporting our surgeons in understanding what she wants, managing expectations and helping them deliver those outcomes.” In support of helping patients know what they want, Mentor launched the Mentor Visualizer tool powered by Illusio, a virtual dressing room for implants. The web-based app uses augmented reality to allow women to “try on” breasts of different sizes and projections before going to a doctor’s office. Attendees could feel the empowerment and inspiration from the esteemed panelist’s insights and learnings. Everyone agreed that the journey is what you make of it, and support is crucial to women who want breast implant surgery for the right reasons.

F UT UR E FAT
Until Now.
Moving fat from one part of the body to another is a procedure that has been around since the late 1800s, and because fat transfers have been a reliable source of volume for faces, butts and breasts, their popularity continues to rise. Now, you don’t even need your own fat to get a volume boost. “Renuva is an alternative way to do fat transfers without liposuction,” says Vero Beach, FL plastic surgeon Alan Durkin, MD. “It can fill in scars and dimples, and plump hollow cheeks and hands. Instead of creating collagen, it induces natural human fat. When injected, Renuva acts as a scaffold that allows the body to stimulate its own fat cells to grow and divide creating organic fat.” So, where does this fat come from? Dr. Durkin says it’s donated human tissue that is screened extensively and processed for quality and safety. “It arrives in dehydrated form and we rehydrate it with saline before injecting it.”

When we think of getting something “lasered,” we tend to think of the skinresurfacing treatments that obliterate layers of dead skin to reveal baby-fresh skin. But some doctors, like New York dermatologist Doris Day, MD, are harnessing laser energy to help hair grow in places where it hasn’t for years. “I use the Fotona laser—it employs photobiomodulation, a form of gentle deep heat—to stimulate the stem cells of dormant hair follicles and encourage regrowth. The laser energy penetrates the tissue, where it interacts with chromophores and induces a complex set of reactions that increases circulation, reduces inflammation and helps restore normal cellular function.” Currently, there are no clinical studies to prove the efficacy of this hair growth treatment, but there are controlled studies being planned. Dr. Day has seen results with some patients as part of a long-term plan that also includes Nutrafol, DuoZyme supplements and quercetin, as well as topical treatments and sometimes platelet-rich plasma therapy.
Think of microdroplets of filler as the Tiny House Nation of injectable rejuvenation.
Think of microdroplets of filler as the Tiny House Nation of injectable rejuvenation. “Although microdroplets have not yet been approved by the FDA in the United States, Juvéderm Volite was created for this specific application and is being used extensively and successfully in Europe,” says Bloomfield Hills, MI dermatologist Linda C. Honet, MD. “Restylane Skinboosters Vital and Vital Lite are also used with the microinjection technique in Canada and marketed with a special microinjection syringe that delivers tiny amounts—0.01 milliliters of filler—in a serial injection fashion.” The main benefit of this approach? A consistent, superficial glow. “We have found that when the hyaluronic acid–based filler is deposited in one area, deeper into the dermis, we still see the plumping and hydration in all areas of the skin,” adds Beverly Hills, CA dermatologist Ava Shamban, MD. A few years ago, under-eye carboxytherapy injection videos were going viral, as the insertion of carbon dioxide under the skin causes skin to inflate like a balloon. That visual hasn’t stopped doctors from utilizing carboxytherapy to boost skin rejuvenation. “The intent of carboxy injections is to increase oxygen in the skin by increasing capillary blood flow to eliminate carbon dioxide,” explains San Antonio dermatologist Vivian Bucay, MD. Now, a CO2 Lift mask gives similar benefits without the intense skin expansion. “The mask is made of two gels that we mix together and apply on the skin,” she adds. Although there are no formal studies to show carboxytherapy speeds recovery compared to other topicals, Dr. Bucay says she uses it after laser treatments, Ultherapy, microneedling and chemical peels to reduce healing time.
IMPORTANT INTEL: All the doctors included in this story mentioned how important creative, off-label use is to the medical community—and strongly stressed seeing a board-certified doctor, practicing within scope, who has vast experience and knowledge on the treatments in question. Off-label use can be safe when done by an experienced doctor who specializes in that off-label treatment; that doctor may also produce research showing efficacy of the off-label use, has been trained on the off-label use, or performs it regularly. Of course, all cosmetic treatments can have a potential risk whether on- or off-label and this is why it’s important to see a properly board-certified doctor.

Belly buttons get an automatic upgrade during a tummy tuck or Mommy Makeover, but stand-alone umbilicoplasty is trending as patients continue to find small areas of their bodies to tinker with and perfect. And, it’s not just about turning an outie into an innie. Most of the belly button surgeries performed by Raleigh, NC plastic surgeon Michael Law, MD are on those who have had a tummy tuck with another doctor and are left with visible scarring, or their belly button has an odd, or “operated-on” look.

For tummies in need of extra tightening, there’s a nonsurgical option being explored that involves the same polydioxanone (PDO) threads used in thread lifts for the face. “Abdominal thread lifts are essentially retention sutures, which are placed into the lower, mid or upper abdomen to lift tissue,” explains Spokane, WA dermatologist Wm. Philip Werschler, MD. “Ideal candidates are those who aren’t surgical candidates, those who don’t want surgery, or those whose concerns are less than what a typical tummy tuck would correct.” The in-office procedure takes about one hour and is performed under local anesthetic. There are no current studies to show the efficacy or benefits of thread lifts in this area, but Dr. Werschler says he continues to see good results.

To slenderize the legs, calf reduction is actually a thing. “Excess fat on the calves may result in the appearance of ‘cankles’— being a bit shorter can also make the calves appear thicker,” says Los Angeles plastic surgeon Peter Lee, MD. “We can perform liposuction in order to trim them down to the patient’s goal size. Excision techniques may also be needed for the removal of excess tissue.” To make calves look smaller without surgery, New York dermatologist Tatiana Khrom, MD uses Botox Cosmetic to reshape: “We target the back of the lower leg, the gastrocnemius muscles, to slim the calves and help patients fit into their favorite boots or feel more confident in their shorts, with results lasting up to six months.”

In the European Union, more than 1,300 chemicals are banned or restricted for cosmetic use, but here in the states, only 11 fall into that category. However, clean beauty brands aren’t buying it. Instead, they are drafting their own rules, formulating without the laundry list of ingredients they believe to be potentially harmful to humans, animals and/or the planet. Further muddying the water is the fact that “The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 does not require the FDA to review cosmetics and their ingredients, with the exception of color additives because many of them are also used in foods and drinks,” says Sarah Biggers-Stewart, founder and CEO of Clove + Hallow. So, what actually makes a product clean?

Most brands count safety, sustainability, sourcing and ethics as key pillars, in addition to total ingredient transparency. Generally topping the list of “nasties” are chemicals that have been scientifically linked to health issues: potential carcinogens (they have the ability to cause cancer) reproductive toxins (they can cause adverse effects on sexual function and fertility) and endocrine disruptors (they can negatively interfere with our hormones). There’s also the environmental component: Clean brands prioritize ingredients that help the earth, rather than those that flood our landfills or hurt our wildlife.

Parabens
Used as preservatives in makeup to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria as they sit on store shelves, parabens are perhaps the most notorious nasties, and have been since 2004 when a scientific article linked them to breast tumors. “Parabens—look for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben and ethylparaben on labels—are effective preservatives,” says cosmetic chemist Ginger King, “but there have been studies linking traces of parabens to breast cancer, thus people are avoiding them.” To err on the side of caution, most beauty brands have removed parabens from their products—even reformulating entire lines without them to appease concerned users— and replaced them with natural preservatives like dehydroacetic acid and benzyl alcohol.
Carbon Black When it comes to eyeliner and mascara, many of us would say the darker the better. But what gives many of these jet-black formulas their deep, inky hue is a pigment enhancer called carbon black—it’s also listed as Black 2 on some products. Made from coal tar, carbon black is found in nearly all dark liquid eyeliners and many mascaras, and has been deemed “possibly carcinogenic to humans” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Merrady Wickes, beauty director at The Detox Market, says the store doesn’t carry any products that contain the ingredient. “It’s not only been linked to cancer, but also lung disease and reproductive toxicity,” says Marla Beck, founder of Lune+ Aster Cosmetics. “I wanted to add a black liquid eyeliner to our collection, but refused to make one with carbon black. To ensure the same intense color payoff without using it, we formulated with plant pigments. It was in the works for a long time, but we were able to achieve a bold look and long-lasting power, with no negative health effects.”

Talc Take a look at the ingredient list on a powder blush, bronzer or eye shadow, and you’ll probably see talc, a naturally occurring mineral that has been used in makeup for centuries for its smoothing properties. But, according to the FDA, although talc itself is not a carcinogen, it runs the risk of being contaminated with cancer-causing asbestos due to the proximity of asbestos to talc deposits in certain mines around the world. In 2019, the FDA surveyed 50 cosmetics containing talc and confirmed the presence of asbestos in several of them, which were voluntarily recalled by the companies. Biggers-Stewart says, “While I think the formulation of beauty products with talc can be done safely with proper testing of raw materials for asbestos, we haven’t felt the need to use it because there are some really great alternatives out there, such as kaolin clay, arrowroot powder and silica.”

FD&C Pigments Primarily used in makeup to create bright, bold shades—Wickes says they can add vibrancy that mineral colors can’t (but that’s quickly changing)—Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) pigments derived from coal tar are considered carcinogenic by many brands. Some experts and retailers, however, view the color additives as an inflated threat and do not explicitly ban them, but agree that working with reputable vendors and conducting thorough safety testing on products is key to avoiding any issues. Kristine Keheley and Krysia Boinis, founders of Vapour Beauty, believe “coal tar–derived FD&C colorants have been linked to cancer for decades and do not belong on your skin, period.” As a result, Keheley has figured out a way to disperse mineral pigments and carmine in plant oils in the correct ratios, which allows them to achieve luxurious color payoff. “When switching to clean makeup, lip products are an obvious place to start because, like it or not, we do ingest lip gloss and lipstick every time we wear it,” says Boinis. Some experts even estimate that lipstick devotees could consume up to seven pounds of it over the course of their lifetimes.
Synthetic Fragrance “There are hundreds of red-flag ingredients I avoid, but one of my top three is synthetic fragrance,” says Biggers-Stewart, noting that it is found in many lip glosses, setting sprays and foundations, and is usually a subtle fruity or cupcake-like scent. “My main gripe is that it’s treated as a trade secret, meaning the 15-plus compounds a scent comprises do not have to be disclosed, which blurs the line of informed consent in my opinion.” Another common gripe is that synthetic fragrances often contain phthalates, which are known endocrine disruptors, and that makeup doesn’t need fragrance to function. Keheley adds, “If I see ‘fragrance’ in the ingredient list without any additional information or indication that it’s naturally derived, I avoid it.”

“I am a mother of two active boys and I live in a very dry, sunny climate, so I take my skin care very seriously! I try to balance prevention and protection with correction and maintenance.”
“I struggle with sun damage because I spend so much time outside riding horses, hiking, watching my kids play sports, etc. Damage appears in the form of discoloration, dryness, redness and fine lines.”
“Prevention is the most important tool. It is way harder to correct than to prevent damage in the first place. Using products that are synergistic can really help, such as antioxidant vitamin C combined with sunblock.”

“After cleansing, I use the DefenAge 2-Minute Reveal resurfacing mask, but only twice a week, as not to over-exfoliate.” $74, defenage.com
“Then I apply the 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream to hydrate my skin overnight.”
“And the 8-in-1 BioSerum again. I use it twice a day because it really is a powerful anti-ager that helps with wrinkles, pigment and texture without side effects. My husband uses it, too—he does not fool around with a lot of products, and this alone covers what several others do combined.”

Calling Maye Musk an accidental icon is an understatement. As the South African– Canadian–now American model, dietitian, and mother—of Elon (yes, that Elon), Kimbal and Tosca—chronicles in her new book, A Woman Makes a Plan, she’s undergone a rather unconventional journey to supermodel stardom. “You can’t control all that happens in life, but you can have the life you want an any age,” says the 71-year-old stunner. “All you have to do is make a plan.” With two Master of Science degrees in nutrition, the self-professed “science nerd” never dreamed of making history as the oldest CoverGirl model. Now, during what she calls the “prime of her life,” she looks back at moments that led her to become a bona fide beauty icon and our patron saint of aging gracefully.

“I was really into magazines and my mother sent me to pattern-cutting class so I could make clothes that looked like the pictures I’d see in magazines.

SUNBATHING SIREN
“This was around the time I won the Miss Vaal Queen competition in South Africa, which I never expected to win. Back then, we didn’t have the Internet, which meant we didn’t have any skin-care advice. We would lie naked in the sun, slather ourselves in olive oil and use foil as a sun-reflector to get a tan. I used to have a big wall around my garden, and the other models would come to my house so we could lie naked in the sun because models couldn’t have bikini lines. It wasn’t a good idea, but that’s what we did back then. When I was 35, my aunt in Montreal died from skin cancer. That was a terrifying wake-up call. Since then, I will not go in the sun without sunscreen, a long-sleeve cotton shirt and a hat. I’m just very careful all of the time now.”
“During my 30s, my fiancé had gotten someone else pregnant and moved next door to me. You can imagine I was very sad. I worked my way through all of that and I ate whatever I felt like. I would eat burgers and fries, fried chicken, ice cream and chocolate, and I really loved it. After I gained 65 pounds and my health deteriorated, I thought, I’m either going to have to take painkillers for my knees and my back, or I have to get this under control. It took me eight months to lose it all. It just so happened that plus-size modeling started at the same time that I gained weight. All of a sudden they started needing me in runway shows. They would ask for an older model and a plus-size model, and I was both. I was the only one in South Africa— because you can imagine, this was the ’80s—and all the other agents would book me and pay the commission to my agent to fly me around the country to be in all the runway shows. So, this was really cool. Today, I love seeing how the modeling landscape has changed. I think diversity gives women more confidence. I’m just happy that curvy models are influencing so many women in the world today.”
’86 BOTTLED BLOND
“ For most
of my life as a model, my hair was blond. I had to be blond and I was never going to give it up.
I would do my roots religiously every four weeks. Now, I wear my natural white hair. I didn’t know when I let it grow out if I would ever work again as a model; I was just tired of coloring it. When I cut it short, I instantly had an edgier look, and suddenly everybody wanted to book me in editorials. I was in my early 60s and said, ‘They want me in an editorial?’ I usually got booked to be the grandmother or an older woman, or things like that. After everything it’s brought me, I’m never going to give my natural look up.”

Lily Aldridge: I’ve always loved experimenting with beauty, and I had wanted to start my own brand for years. The fact that it turned out to be fragrance was a bit serendipitous. Fragrance has always meant a lot to me, and I realized that all of my favorite places had powerful scent memories attached to them. I think a lot of people feel this way, whether it’s remembering the fragrance you wore on your wedding day, or what your grandma’s house smells like. I have a scent memory of making little lavender sachets in my grandmother’s garden, and I still have a sachet. It barely smells anymore, but the tiniest trace still reminds me of her. That’s what I wanted to do: create fragrances that evoke that type of memory for you.
LA: Very! There were so many little pieces. I worked with five perfumers—they’re known as “noses”—to create the “juice,” as they call it. And if you don’t know anything about “noses,” they are like wine sommeliers— they are the most interesting people in the world. They are fabulous! When I said I wanted something rosy, they said, “Do you want a freshly picked rose, a rose that’s still on the stem, a rose from India, a rose from America, or a rose that’s been sitting in a bouquet for two days”— and I was like, what?! Each perfumer made their own interpretation, and each scent I chose was from a different person, which is cool. I thought for sure I was going to pick the same perfumer each time, but everyone really surprised me.
So each one represents a special place?
I bet you smelled A LOT of coffee beans during all that testing.
LA: Yes, all four scents—I have two out now and two more coming soon—are inspired by places I love. My first one, Haven, reminds me of my home in Nashville, my safe place, and smells like roses and peonies from
NB59_Lily Aldridge_ds.indd 86
LA: You’re actually supposed to smell your arm, not coffee beans! Everybody’s skin has a unique aroma, so that’s how you’re supposed to neutralize between smelling fragrances, not coffee,
which is what I thought too. At least that’s what they told me. They could have been setting me up for a blooper: How many times will Lily smell her arm? (Laughs)
What was the toughest challenge along the way? LA: Probably everything! The whole project took me two years. Let me tell you, it’s a learning process. I had many sleepless nights over just the font for the logo. Understanding natural ingredients and sustainability has been a challenge too, but it’s very important to me.
What role does sustainability play in your brand? LA: The caps are made of sustainable wood—for every tree that is taken down, we plant five in its place— but the main focus is the
packaging. I love buying beauty products, but I was frustrated by how much I was wasting. When I ordered something online, it would come in a box inside another box and wrapped in plastic, and the plastic would be wrapped in plastic. And I’d think, oh my gosh this is crazy! So, my fragrances only come in one box. And sure, the outside of it is probably scuffed and has a shipping label on it, but when you open it, the inside is your moment. I’m really proud of it because it doesn’t create as much waste as some other products. I think the beauty world is moving in that direction. It’s trying to do better one step at a time.
Do you generally lean toward a cleaner lifestyle? LA: Yes, but not all the time—it’s a balance. When I was pregnant and nursing

my garden. Summit is the second one and based on Blackberry Farm in the Smoky Mountains, which I visit with my family all the time. It’s very gender-neutral with notes of leather and tobacco that remind me of being cozy by the fireplace. The journey will continue with other places—all in the U.S., although I’d love to create scents that capture my travels around the globe.

my son, Winston [1], I was super-duper clean. When makeup artists would grab a product to use on me, I’d say, “Wait, what is that?” When I was pregnant with my daughter Dixie [7], there weren’t as many clean options that were actually quality, but now the market is incredible.
Lily’s Beauty Obsessions
Have you always been beautyobsessed? LA: Yes! Every time I look at my vanity, it makes me happy. I even have a little skin-care fridge. I had one saved in my Amazon cart for a while, but wasn’t sure I needed it. Then poosh (Kourtney Kardashian’s company) sent one to me, and I thought, do I need a mini fridge? Who do I think I am? But I set it up, and now I keep rose water spray in there and some eye masks and moisturizer. And Dixie loves it—she always steals my eye patches and walks around the house with them on. It’s so sweet.
What does Dixie think of your fragrances?
01 Kora Organics Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum “I love everything she [founder Miranda Kerr] makes, but this serum is incredible.” $68, us.koraorganics.com
02 goop Beauty G.Nite Bedtime Bath Soak “I am all about a bath ritual with goop salts and a diptyque candle, and maybe a mask on.” $35, shop.goop.com
03 RMS Beauty “Un” Cover-up Cream Foundation “She [founder Rose-Marie Swift] used to put it on me during shoots when she was testing them. It’s the perfect amount of coverage.” $52, rmsbeauty.com
04 Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Liquid Gel Eyeliner in Blacquer “This gel eyeliner is so precise. It’s hard to do a really good line, and I can apply this one in two seconds like a pro.” $27, sephora.com
05 Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel “I’m really into exfoliants, and this peel makes such a difference in my skin. If I use one at night, the next morning I’m glowing.” $88, sephora.com
06 La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream “This cream has been a staple for years—I think it was my first beauty splurge. It’s a tried-and-true hydrator that I’ll just always love.” $180, cremedelamer.com
LA: She actually picked one of them! The last one [launching later this year]. I had my mind set on a particular one, but then Dixie came into my room one night and she smelled so good, I couldn’t stop snuggling her. I asked her to show me which one she was wearing, and then I called everyone and said I was changing the fourth fragrance. Now every time I smell it, I think of her. That’s the power of scent.

“ I would rather celebrate the fact that I’m going to be 40, instead of worrying about it.”
There is the utterly calm, alwaysprofessional Jordana Brewster, who just breezed back from a 36-hour whirlwind trip to Miami to promote her latest movie before returning to Los Angeles looking rested and glowing for a full day of photo-shooting. And then there is the self-proclaimed “neurotic mom” Jordana Brewster, who recently got into a small tiff with her nanny about her work-travel schedule.

“Two days ago, she said something like, ‘Oh, that’s a long time to be away from the kids. You’ve had to do a movie for six weeks,’” Brewster recalls. “That stuck with me for 48 hours. I had to ask her, ‘What did you mean by that? I need to work. My husband needs to work. And you don’t say that to my husband.’ We kind of had to process it and have a mini-therapy session. I internalized it, and I felt really bad. This whole work-family thing is a process.” But yet, she persists. This May, the actress-model stars in F9, the aptly named ninth installment of the Fast & Furious saga, and her “boss comedy,” Hooking Up, is in theaters now. In between a very Hollywood-centric life (her husband is producer Andrew Form of Friday the 13th, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, A Quiet Place, and The Purge fame) Brewster still makes time for sharing her love of all things beauty—with her mom, her sister, on Instagram, and with us.

“I’m 1,000-percent going to go under the knife at o ne point or another because HD is the worst invention known to man!” You’re about to turn 40. Is it something you think about? I’ll turn 40 in April. The way I feel about age is…well, I look up to women like Sandra Bullock; I look up to Gwyneth Paltrow. There are all these women who are older than me who are absolutely killing it in this industry. In the past, it might have felt like, ‘Oh no, my career is going to suffer,’ but I don’t feel that way now. It’s better than the alternative. I would rather celebrate the fact that I’m going to be 40, instead of worrying about it. I’m actually really excited.
She’s aged far more gracefully than I ever will because she has not gone under the knife. She’s just so elegant in her beauty. I’m 1,000-percent going to go under the knife at one point or another because HD is the worst invention known to man! She watches what she eats and how much sleep she gets, and she’s very diligent about her routine. She owns it, and she looks stunning. She hasn’t resorted to craziness.

Do you do anything “crazy”? No. I’ve dabbled with Botox. I find it can be tricky for actors because I need to be able to raise my eyebrows and grimace. I also find that, unfortunately, because I run a lot, I seem to go through it faster. That’s why I only go to very, very skilled, subtle injectors. There’s sort of an aesthetic where you can’t tell the difference between someone who’s 18 and someone who’s 45; I find that disturbing. I’m definitely super cautious. I remember the first couple of times I did Botox, I brought my mom and I had her oversee it because I was so nervous about the whole thing. So I’m careful, but I love that there’s so much available to us.
There really is. You’ve also been vocal about your minor “skin-care obsession”…you even share post-facial shots on Instagram. I consider myself a beauty junkie. When you have a pimple or your skin doesn’t look like you want it to, it ruins your day! I like taking care of my skin and I want to preserve it for as long as possible. I love, love, love Dr. Barbara Sturm. I love her products and I go to her for microneedling, where afterward, she applies this serum that makes you look instantly younger. I also see this wonderful woman, Flavia Lanini, who does these lymphatic drainage treatments—they make a huge difference. I’m also big on taking care of myself from the inside out. I know I can’t overdo it on the salt; I know I have to drink plenty of water. As I get older, those things show up a lot faster. I meditate once a day for 20 minutes. I find that, when I don’t, I see a difference. I find podcasts very relaxing, so I listen to them when I’m running. All of that stuff helps. What else do I do? I like a good jade roller right out of the fridge. This morning I was doing it, and my son was like, ‘Mommy, what are you doing?’ I’m also not afraid of a good mask. I’ll put on masks in the car and just wear them under glasses. I don’t really care who sees it.
You’re incredibly close to your glam squad. What else do you leave to the pros? I don’t know how to do my hair! I get a blowout two to three times a week and leave it at that. It’s pathetic. I used to be able to do it—I grew up with a mom who was a model, and with my sister, we would have a whole routine three hours before a party where we would put rollers in our hair, do a mask and put on makeup. It was a ritual and it was really fun. It was our time to bond. But, yes, I’m really close to my makeup artist, Ermahn. He’s always teaching me tricks. I have yet to master putting falsies on and I really want to because they make a massive difference. I do know that sometimes I go overboard, and that’s the biggest beauty blunder of them all. I have a habit of shellacking bronzer, and my sister will ask, ‘Did you look at yourself in the mirror?’ I also rely on the pros for dermaplaning; I’m Brazilian, I have a lot of extra hair!

If that’s the only way you can have a baby, go for it. When I found out I had to have my children [sons Julian, 6, and Rowan, 3] that way, I kind of powered through. As my kids get a li le older, strangely enough, it’s actually become more challenging—in terms of explaining it to them and framing it in a way they can totally understand. I’m so lucky that it was an option and it was available to me because, otherwise, I wouldn’t have my two beautiful boys. I love them more than anything. But being a mom, in general, is not easy, obviously. I thought I would be a chill supermom, but I’m not—I’m pre y neurotic. Having kids really kicked up my anxiety and made things like meditation that much more important for me. And kids really are mirrors back to you! My son Julian is a lot like me. He’ll see the negative in something or he will always question things. He’s really smart, so he keeps me on my toes. There are certain things I have to do now, like going on set, that I wouldn’t have thought twice about back in the day. I’ll make my boys calendars and say, ‘This is when mommy is coming back. This is what your schedule is. This is what we’ll do then.’ That helps with all of our anxiety. I strive really hard to be a good mom and not take it too far where I’m being crazy-neurotic. What helps me the most is talking to my friends who have similar issues and are going through similar things. The only bummer is that I don’t have that many actor friends who are moms, and I need some more of that in my life because it’s just such a unique position to be in.
And now you have Fast, and you were part of the original. What’s different for you in this one? I’m excited for the action because, in the past, I’ve always been relegated to the girlfriend, wife, mom, nurturer. We’re multifaceted beings as women—our pain threshold is much larger than men’s and our ability to multitask is unparalleled. The fact that I get to show Mia’s [Brewster’s character in the movie] kick-ass side is really fun. I kept texting Justin, our director, videos of me doing Taekwondo and training and li ing weights. I wanted to show him, ‘Hey, I can do this! Put me in the ring.’ He took me up on it, which was awesome. This is the first one I fight in. I had a li le bit in Five where Paul [Walker] and I were jumping off of buildings, but this is the first one where there is an awesome girl-fight scene.
NB59_Jordana.indd 92
How was the dynamic working with other kick-ass women in the film? First of all, I adore Michelle [Rodriguez]. She was doing what a lot of women are doing now—in terms of being outspoken, not taking shit, asking for what she wants—20 years ago. I’ve always respected her so much for that because I’m too fearful to speak my mind most of the time. That’s shi ing and I’m becoming more comfortable asserting myself, but it’s a process. And then I’m in the same movie as Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron, so my kids are like, ‘What? That’s amazing!’ I feel so, so lucky. I’m proud of these movies and there’s a comfort level to working on them. It sounds so cliché, but I love Vin [Diesel]. I go to him for advice. I adore his wife; I adore his sister. His kids and my kids hang out. It’s the most comfortable, wonderful set to be on and it’s the most fun movie to promote because we all get to travel the world together. What could be be er?

T Y P E
Hair classifications include four major texture types that are numbered: Type 1 is straight, 2 is wavy, 3 is curly and 4 is coily. Then, the letters A, B and C correspond to the pattern type to break it down further, creating a number-letter combination. To determine your hair type, it’s best to see what it does when it’s sopping wet.

TYPE 1 HAIR “ Type 1A hair is described as fine, straight, thin and soft, with noticeable shine,” says Glenn Dale, MD dermatologist Valerie Callender, MD. “Products that have a lot of oil will weigh down this hair type, leaving it looking dull. Dry shampoo and scalp treatments are excellent products to use in between washings because they remove oils that accumulate on the scalp daily.”
2C
TYPE 2A HAIR
TYPE 2B HAIR
TYPE 2C HAIR
According to Dr. Callender, “Type 2A is a loose hair type and is also known as wavy hair because it naturally forms an ‘S’ shape. Lightweight products such as mousses and gels work well for both straight and wavy styling of this hair texture, as heavy products will weigh the natural curl pattern down.”
“ If you have a 2B curl, your hair usually lays flat to your head and forms an ‘S-wave’ starting at your roots for three to four inches before it turns into a curl,” says celebrity hairstylist Chuck Amos. “This type is prone to go flat and also can get a bit frizzy, so no heavy styling products. Instead, opt for heavier moisturizing, in-shower products like a great conditioning shampoo and mask.”
Amos says 2C hair texture is your typical Brazilian wave or loose wave. “Serums, moisturizing mousses and very light creams are very helpful for styling,” he adds. “If you’re a 2C, you’re usually a lighter-textured curl than others, so it is important not to pile on products like gels, curl creams and butters because this will make the hair sticky and clump together.”

“ Hair that is 3A is curly—usually the kind of curls with a thick texture and a lot of shine, but it can be frizzy,” Dr. Callender notes. “A sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo and conditioner should be used daily to hydrate the hair, while creams and jellies can add control and definition.” Leave-in conditioners are also a good idea to help add daily moisture.
“ This texture tends to be thick and coarse, and curls often vary in shape around the head,” explains Pattern Haircare (Tracee Ellis Ross’s brand) product developer Sierra Britt. “Dryness can creep in to tousle up ringlets, so moisture is key for maintaining definition and shine.”
“ With the pencil-tight coils of 3C curls, moisturization is key,” Amos says. “The 3C coils are tighter and more condensed at the roots, so butter cremes mixed with serums, scalp oils and moisturizing curl cremes best suit this texture. Avoid gels or products with alcohol and other drying agents that make curls fall limp, and become dry and unmanageable.”
“The key to caring for very curly hair is moisture, moisture and more moisture,” Dr. Callender says.

“ Type 4A hair is tightly curled or kinky with very thick, sometimes well-defined curls,” says Dr. Callender. “It can often appear dry and brittle, which can lead to breakage. The key to caring for very curly hair is moisture, moisture and more moisture, starting with a shampoo designed for curly hair and a heavy moisturizing conditioner.”
“ Luscious, Z-pattern coils that bend and flare in a zig-zag pose represent 4B,” says Britt. “Tight textures crave as much moisture as they can get—this type loves to spend time in protective styles to remain moisturized, support delicate ends and aid in length retention.”
“ The tightest curl of all the textures, 4C is the most sensitive and prone to breakage,” explains Amos. “It usually has no curl definition and a large amount of shrinkage. This type needs a lot of moisture and love: Highly hydrating cremes and serums mixed with light curl definers and scalp oils are the absolute best for this hair type.”

VISION QUEST
Express Yourself “Come on girls, do you believe in love?” It’s hard to fathom it’s been three decades since Madonna rallied the troops in her feminist call to arms Express Yourself.

Don’t Go for Second Best
Like a Queen on a Throne
“I used to cut and color her hair, and we had just used this length in the Oh Father video,” the stylist says. She always loved wavy, curly hair. To get the curls, I used a regular curling iron with a one-inch barrel. I liked to put a little bit of conditioner in the ends of her hair to give it more texture and protect it from the heat.”
“I designed this one for the Blonde Ambition tour” recalls Savic, of the infamous high pony. “It has a very ’60s retro vibe. I used a clip-on ponytail, set it very high up on her head and created a thick braid to wrap around the base. After she went on tour with it, I would go into the wig stores and see it everywhere. Everyone wanted it.”

Savic says the retro curly bob is all about texture. To mimic the look like Jane Fonda did on the SAG red carpet, “use a mousse to create body before you curl,” he advises. “Use a little bit of conditioner, but not too much. You have to be careful, it can’t be emollient, and it has to be light so it doesn’t weigh the hair down.”
Jennifer Lopez has the iconic “higher than the heavens” ponytail down to a science. “How high you place it is most important,” adds the stylist. “It needs to be higher on the head. Then, braid loose hair extensions and wrap them around the base for a more polished look.”

there’s a meme floating around

about never being too rich, too thin or too blond. While that may be a good mantra for a hair

inspo feed, it’s not the best rule
•

for your hair. You can in fact be too blond, and constant lightening can cause a dull color that falls flat and brittle,

broken strands. These top celebrity colorists agree: The best intervention to bring over-processed hair back to

life is to step away from the

lightener. Here’s how to get highlighted-hair-gone-wrong back to a healthy place.

Avoid the Overlap So, how do once-lustrous highlights end up dull and damaged? “When we lighten the hair, the hydrogen peroxide mixed with lightener softens the cuticle, causing it to swell. This allows the lightener to pass through to dissolve the natural melanin in the hair shaft,” explains Nine Zero One hairstylist Cheryl Roberts. “Lightener has no off switch. If left on too long or repeatedly overlapped— it can happen when a colorist overlaps the lightener over every section of the hair during each visit—it will continue to break down the cuticle and cortex, stripping the hair of strength and causing it to become very porous.” “When choosing a colorist, make sure to see someone who knows color cannot be overlapped,” adds celebrity hairstylist Paul Labrecque. “If you see your colorist pulling bleach through your strands every single time you get your color done, you are in danger of severe breakage. To find someone great you can really trust, look for other blonds with long, healthy hair and ask them who does their color. There are very few natural blonds past the age of 25!”

Space It Out
Matrix celebrity colorist George Papanikolas says your colorist should focus on the new growth: “A better approach after you’ve achieved your desired level of lightness is to only retouch the root and midshaft area, leaving the ends out. This will keep the ends from becoming overprocessed and brittle.” “In my lightener, I always use a bond-builder like Olaplex or B3 Brazilian Bond Builder,” adds Roberts. “I also make sure to use a very low developer and avoid applying heat while processing. I’ll also include some lowlights, or reverse balayage, to create depth.”
What happens at home immediately post color can help maintain hair health and keep color from becoming lackluster. “I like to do a Wella post-color treatment immediately after processing to help calm the hair and bring it back to its original pH,” says Roberts. “This evens out the hair’s porosity and makes color last longer.” “Once hair is highlighted, the ends can be refreshed by using a gloss,” advises Labrecque. Noting that hydration is key to restoring the hair to its original condition, Papanikolas says to alternate between your normal shampoo and conditioner and hydrating ones like Matrix Biolage Ultra Hydrasource.
The experts agree: Color appointments should be scheduled every 10 to 12 weeks, and new highlights should only be placed to accent the hair. “If you space it out with this schedule, then you should be able to maintain dimension,” adds Papanikolas. “For gray coverage, to maintain the integrity of the hair, dimension and shine, it’s better to do a single process every month, and highlight every three months. Also, don’t skip regular trims and limit heat styling, as that can cause even more damage to overprocessed and fragile hair.”
Before + After
“To transition this client, I added some lowlights (left) and kept some lightness so she didn’t feel too dark as we incorporated a more natural-looking color without lightener. On her second visit (right), I added more lowlights—a shade darker—and toned her remaining highlights,” says Roberts.

“I lifted this client’s regrowth color by four shades using Matrix Ultra Lift in Rose Gold,” says Papanikolas. “I then did an allover glaze with Biolage Plant Based Color in Ginger Copper. The henna base color can be highlighted over and lasts about 20 shampoos. It is especially helpful on compromised hair!”

Did You Know?
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, dandruff does not require medical attention for most individuals. However, sometimes the flaking and itching is actually caused by a condition like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal infections of the scalp, or eczema, which is best treated by a board-certified dermatologist.
It’s gone from the have-to-hidein-the-shower shampoo to a study in the ultra-science. Here are the latest healthy-scalp solutions taking strands by storm.

Trichologist Shab Reslan says regular scalp massages are good for the health of your hair, and this is one solution that’s—surprise—free. “You can have a friend or partner give you one while you watch your favorite show, or even spend a couple extra minutes in the shower while your conditioner is applied and massage your scalp slowly using the cushions of your fingers,” she explains. “The stimulations and blood circulation promote healthier hair and scalp.”

Scalp Soothers It may be up for debate if finding a friend who wants to deliver a head massage is easier than purchasing a product, but one thing is certain: As both stylists and brands learn more about the link between healthy hair and a healthy scalp, “scalp health is undeniably a hot topic,” Reslan says. She counts Neuma ReNeu Scalp Therapy and Christophe Robin Purifying Scalp Scrub as two scalp products that hit the top on her “favorites” list. Celebrity hairstylist Creighton Bowman is also a fan of the product route, and his number-one solution is long-time staple Head & Shoulders. “I like using it on the ‘hot spots’ of the head that are dry,” he says.

The Dos and Don’ts for a Healthy Scalp DO: Wash Your Hair
Reslan says infrequent hair washing is a huge detriment to the quality of your hair growth. “Buildup and sebum [the oil the scalp produces] can clog your follicles and cause inflammation. Keeping your scalp in this constant state can lead to weaker and thinner hair growth over time.”
DON’T: Run Too Hot
Smithtown, NY facial plastic surgeon James Marotta, MD, who also specializes in hairrestoration surgery, stresses the importance of avoiding overdrying by showering with water that is too hot or excessively blow-drying the hair.
DO: “Anti-” Up
Dr. Marotta says that for scalps with specific conditions like dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis for example, “treatment with anti-dandruff shampoos or anti-fungal creams may be necessary.”
Perfect Pairing Spoiler alert: The scalp is skin, and treating it with the same care we give our facial routines might not be such a bad idea—a concept not lost on Drunk Elephant founder Tiffany Masterson. That’s why she’s rolling out a two-year-in-the-making line with celebrity hairstylist and longtime friend Chris McMillian of Jennifer Aniston fame, and it does not fool around in the efficacious ingredient department. The four-product collection includes Cocomino Glossing Shampoo, Cocomino Marula Cream Conditioner, Wild Marula Tangle Spray and the alpha- and betahydroxy acid–packed T.L.C. Happi Scalp Scrub, all of which follow the brand’s clean-compatible philosophy.
DON’T: Overdo the Dry Shampoo
Perhaps the biggest debate of them all: What role does dry shampoo play in scalp health? When used properly, it is a great hair-refresher, Reslan says, but, when used incorrectly, like in cases where it is applied directly to the scalp or not properly washed out, it can lead to problems.

Try a Treatment HydraFacial is another traditionally skin care–focused brand that’s taking on the scalp-care revolution with its new HydraFacial Keravive. The brand says it decided to launch the threestep treatment—which involves an in−office cleansing, exfoliation and hydration steps, and a take-home spray—because it found its customers are “very aware of the detrimental effects of poor scalp health, including visible signs of flaking, dry and itchy scalp, and limp and damaged hair.”
The Hair-Loss Link
Dr. Marotta says to think of the scalp as the “soil” that grows the “plants”—i.e., the healthy hair. “If the scalp is unhealthy, it will affect hair health and hair growth,” he explains. “Treatments for specific scalp conditions can improve hair health and hair growth. If there are sores, patches of hair loss, redness, itching, or scaling anywhere on your scalp, seek evaluation and treatment.”
Constant Flare-Ups Inflammation is just “part of the factor” in a number of types of alopecia, says Beverly Hills, CA hair restoration surgeon Dr. Craig L. Ziering. Often it can fly under the radar, he adds, in a sub-clinical level, thus avoiding detection and delaying treatment.
Montclair, NJ dermatologist Jeanine B. Downie, MD likes spraying ISDIN Lambdapil Spray on patients’ scalps to encourage hair growth and overall healthier hair. “I tell them not to scratch, and I encourage them to limit the heat they use on their hair and scalp,” she says. “All of those steps work wonders.”

Oily Buildup
Researchers have zeroed in on the scalp’s microbiota as the origin of inflammation, says Dr. Ziering. “Microorganisms have been identified residing deep within the hair follicle, which places them in close proximity to immune-privileged regions. If they compromise function by their presence deep within the follicle, hair cycling and regeneration may be affected.” As researchers continue to examine the scalp’s microbiome, doctors are hopeful their findings may lead to new therapies for cicatricial or scarring alopecias, which can lead to irreversible hair loss.
Another often-heard scalpconcern: sebum buildup. “Sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous gland for the physiologic purpose of lubricating the hair follicle,” explains Dr. Ziering. However, he believes any correlation between excessive oil production and hair loss is much ado about nothing. “An oily scalp can be easily managed by over-the-counter medicated shampoos. The use of these scalp-cleansing solutions will prevent the remote possibility of the sebum buildup that can create an inflammatory state within the hair follicle.”
Dr. Marotta sees many patients “very concerned with scalp health and hair health in general,” but by the time they come to him, it’s a bit more than some flakes on the shoulders. Because statistics show hair loss is a universal problem, affecting 85 percent of men and 40 percent of women by the age of 50, that’s a whole lot of people who most likely share the same concerns. When patients visit Dr. Ziering, it’s almost solely because of hair-loss reasons, but he doesn’t deny that an oily scalp and dandruff can be problematic. “Medicated shampoos can manage these conditions and function by cleansing the scalp, along with mechanical cleansing created by vigorous finger action during shampooing, to remove any debris.”
Did You Know?
All the doctors we interviewed for this story said the same thing: Tension is one pretty bad perpetrator, both in terms of scalp and hair health, as well as hair loss. “Chronic or sustained tension on the hair shaft, even from hair extensions, can lead to sufficient strain on the follicle, resulting in hair loss,” Dr. Ziering says.

Oil What they are: “Oil cleansers often contain natural, nurturing oils and little to no surfactants, meaning they won’t suds up on the skin, but they are still useful for removing makeup,” says Dr. Schlessinger. “They are also becoming increasingly popular for their role in a double-cleanse routine (used as the first step).” Skin types they're best for: Normal, dry and sensitive Expert tip: “Apply to dry skin and rinse with water, avoiding your eyes, as the oil can irritate them and cloud your vision,” Dr. Schlessinger adds.
Balm What they are: “Think of balms like a combination of an oil and a cream cleanser,” says Omaha, NE dermatologist Joel Schlessinger, MD. “They’re usually made with natural oils, like grape seed, which are great for removing makeup without stripping the skin.” Skin types they're best for: Dry, but new versions are being made to suit nearly all skin types, even oily. Expert tip: “Let the balm melt slightly on your fingers as it adjusts to your body heat, then slowly rub it into dry skin using small circles,” says Tavernise. Opt for a muslin cloth or washcloth to make sure it’s fully removed.

Foam What they are: Light and airy, foams rely on surfactants (ingredients that create the lather, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate) to cleanse skin. Skin types they're best for: Oily and acne-prone. “Nowadays, some foams can be used on dry or sensitive skin, too, as they are made with surfactants like betaines and sarcosinates, which do not strip the skin like sulfates do,” says New York dermatologist Melissa Kanchanapoomi Levin, MD. Expert tip: “Foams can be drying, so look for formulas with moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid,” Dr. Levin adds.

Cream, Milk & Lotion What they are: Made with moisturizers like emollients and humectants, these cleansers are generally very gentle, but still effective at removing gunk, and often used as a second step after makeup removal. Skin types they’re best for: Sensitive or dry skin. “I would not recommend them for oily or acne-prone skin, as they may be too heavy on clogged pores,” says Tavernise. Expert tip: Apply them directly to dry skin, and then add a little bit of water as you work them around your face. Remove with a clean washcloth.
ONE TO TRY: Moon Juice Milk Cleanse, $32,moonjuice.com
The Great Wipe Debate As qualms about sustainability issues surround disposable wipes, many people are forgoing them altogether and relying on reusable muslin cloths or wash cloths instead. “Wipes are a convenient option for travel, after the gym or at the end of a late night, but they shouldn’t replace traditional cleansing, especially for those with acne-prone skin,” says Tavernise. And to minimize the economic impact, opt for biodegradable or compostable versions like Almay Biodegradable Micellar Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes ($6, ulta.com).
6
Micellar Water What they are: Micellar waters look and feel like water, but contain tiny molecules called micelles that “surround makeup and dirt and gently remove residue off of the skin,” says Dr. Levin. Most of them are very gentle, contain hardly any additives and do not need to be rinsed off. Skin types they're best for: All skin types Expert tip: Saturate a clean cotton pad and use it to remove makeup as the first step in a doublecleansing regimen, or to lightly cleanse bare skin if it’s makeup-free.

Smiles are more than just teeth and gums.
Lip Sync BY TATIANA BONCOMPAGNI
A plumper upper lip—without filler—and a bigger, more attractive smile, is what brought Chantal Henderson, an Aspen-based magazine publisher, to New York in the dead of winter last year. NB59_Lip Sync-.indd 119
2/26/20 12:11 PM
COM_NB59_120
Through friends, Henderson met New York prosthodontist Jonathan Levine, DMD, who said she had a nice smile, but he could make it better. Henderson, Dr. Levine said, would be a good candidate for a procedure he was developing with New York plastic surgeon Oren Tepper, MD. The gist? Dr. Levine would insert veneers on 10 of her teeth, while Dr. Tepper would perform a lip lift, an in-office procedure that surgically shortens the distance between the bottom of the nose and the pink part, or vermillion, of the lip, known as the philtrum. “Everything was done in one week,” says Henderson, 50, who spent her post-op recovery walking in Central Park, cloaked in a hat and sunglasses, before flying home where she says she’s received endless compliments. “My upper lip is much fuller, but it looks totally natural. People walk up to me and tell me I have a beautiful smile. That never happened before.”

The Fix
02 The Problem
01
A so-called toothy grin may be one of the most overlooked indicators of a youthful face, but as we age, collagen and elastin break down, causing the philtral length (the groove between the nose and upper lip) to increase, approximately by 1 millimeter each decade. At the same time, “teeth get shorter from wearing, grinding and clenching, we show less teeth during rest, speaking and smiling, and the smile becomes less attractive,” says Beverly Hills, CA cosmetic dentist Matt Nejad, DDS. To restore a smile, cosmetic dentists make the teeth longer through crowns, veneers or bonding. “Ideally, the amount of upper tooth displayed beneath the upper lip when someone is not smiling varies with age, gender and race. It can vary from 1 to 4 millimeters,” says Beverly Hills, CA cosmetic dentist Laurence Rifkin, DDS. A normal length for a tooth is 10 to 10.5 mm, but many aesthetic dentists bump their size up to 12, or even 13 mm, to provide that ideal “lip in repose” teeth show.
NB59_Lip Sync-.indd 120
In order to create a more naturallooking smile, Dr. Levine realized that, by working with a plastic surgeon to raise the patient’s upper lip, he would only have to lengthen her teeth by a little bit. The creation: A protocol for working together, coined “LipSync.” They aren’t the only dentist-plastic duo working in tandem. New York cosmetic dentist Pia Lieb, DDS taps New York plastic surgeon Steven Levine, MD for lip lifts on appropriate candidates, and Dr. Rifkin works with Beverly Hills, CA facial plastic surgeon Ben Talei, MD. According to Dr. Rifkin, the trend is, in part, linked to a bigger movement among dentists to pay more attention to overall facial aesthetics (not just how teeth function). Thanks to society’s obsession with bee-stung pouts, the lip lift has gone from a rarely performed, stand-alone surgery to a much-buzzed-about way to get bigger lips without fillers. However, it’s not for everyone, and doctors caution that patients with a history of poor scarring should pass on the procedure, as scarring can be unpredictable.

Patients should anticipate having two to four appointments with their dentist (consultations, treatment and post-treatment care) and three with a plastic surgeon (consultation, surgery, post-op suture removal). Most doctor duos work together by emailing 3-D imagery and plans back and forth, and coordinating their surgical and treatment plans. When it comes to what comes first—teeth or lips—Dr. Lieb prefers to finish a patient’s teeth before the lip lift is performed: “You must establish what you can get from the foundation of the teeth and then adjust the lips, whether you start with a temporary Botox lip lift or opt for the more drastic surgical lip lift,” she says. The lip lift is performed under local anesthesia in 30 to 45 minutes, and involves removing a small wedge of skin beneath the nose, shortening the philtrum and slightly rolling or flipping up the vermillion border of the lips, then suturing the incision beneath the nose.

This 59-year-old patient had veneers and crowns placed by Dr. Levine, and underwent a lip lift with Dr. Tepper. This shortened the distance between her nose and lip to show more teeth when her lips are at rest and when she smiles.

NB59_Lip Sync-.indd 123
While there’s no downtime associated with veneers or bonding, lip lift patients can expect to experience swelling and discomfort for two days post-op, and should refrain from exercise for 10 days, Dr. Tepper recommends. The full lip lift procedure may cost anywhere between $4,000 and $7,000, but it’s important to note that cosmetic dentistry costs vary by specialist and area and depend on the amount of work performed: Minimal bonding on front teeth can cost $4,000; 10 or more veneers can cost upwards of $30,000.

Though porcelain veneers as we know them today have only been around since the ’80s, according to New York cosmetic dentist, Husam Almunajed, DDS, they’ve made a lasting impact on the burgeoning cosmetic dentist Elizabeth Lowery, DDS estimates that now as many as 90 percent

“In the past, you had to sacrifice beauty for strength, making old veneers more opaque or chalkylooking,” says Dr. Lowery. “With newer materials, veneers are stronger, so you can get both.” Cupertino, CA cosmetic dentist Khalil Saghezchi, DDS agrees: “In the past, we would have had to shave down the majority of the patient’s tooth in order to achieve a full-smile makeover. Now, we have a much more conservative approach, where, in many cases, we hardly need to prep the tooth or shave anything down—except sometimes to create a little space between the teeth. It is incredible how thin the porcelain veneers have become.”

T H E R E F L ECT New materials mean new ways to create life-like, natural teeth, says Kim. “Natural tooth coloring is not just about making the ceramic material and painting on top of it to create the color,” he notes. “Because the natural tooth is a light, reflective material, much of the color comes from the inside.” This is why a technique called “stacking”—where anywhere from 30 to 40 different colors of porcelain are painstakingly layered to create a translucent, natural gradation of color that mimics real enamel and prevents the opaque finish that dominated in the early years of veneers—is used. “Human teeth are a very light, reflective material—they’re not solid tooth,” says Kim. “Light travels into them and reflects, absorbs and illuminates differently because there’s an enamel layer and a dentin layer inside. However, they’re shaped so that the light reflects differently at different angles.”
perfectly opaque blocks they once were, Dr. Saghezchi says. “They think you can’t achieve a natural look with porcelain veneers, and everyone wants to be natural—that beautiful, but perfectly flawed look, in which the teeth, while white and smooth, are not perfectly straight all the way across. They have a natural shape to them and a transparency to the color.” Another misconception: New York cosmetic dentist Marc Lowenberg, DDS says most people are not fully educated as to what veneers are and often think that a great deal of tooth structure is removed in preparing the teeth for veneers. “This is true of caps or crowns, but veneers are very conservative, and less than 15 percent of the tooth structure is removed,” he explains. As far as major misunderstandings go, Dr. Almunajed also sees many patients who are concerned about what happens after the veneers are placed. “Once porcelain veneers are completed, you should be able to eat, chew and function comfortably,” he says. “The only thing I tell my patients is, ‘Don’t do anything with your veneers that you wouldn’t do with your natural teeth.’” This includes indulging in overly sugary foods or drinks that cause tooth decay, notes Dr. Lowery, who laments that patients often believe porcelain veneers are cavity-proof.

Although porcelain veneers became available 30 years ago, Atlanta cosmetic dentist Ronald Goldstein, DDS says the very first veneers are to be credited to dentist-to-the-stars Dr. Charles Pincus, who hollowed out porcelain to thin shells and cemented them over teeth in 1927. The main modern-day discovery: alternate bonding techniques that allowed for stronger, more realisticlooking materials, says Washington, D.C. cosmetic dentist Michael Katsaros, DDS. “Adhesives became more tech-savvy. Companies looked into microbiological compatibility because enamel wasn’t a natural fuse to the tooth. They figured out how to use the microscopic surface of the tooth and better adhesives to blend the porcelain onto the surface, essentially reinforcing the tooth, protecting it and giving it a nicer appearance.” Ceramist Jason Kim— an expert responsible for modeling and shaping the porcelain teeth before the dentist applies them— notes that the new bonding is so advanced, it’s near-supernatural. “Data shows that the chemical bonding of the veneer to the enamel is stronger than the natural enamel bonded to the dentin of the natural tooth.”

While the full process can take between two and four weeks, according to Dr. Saghezchi, the process depends on the patient’s needs, limitations and budget:
The TakeHome Test
Behind the Scenes
The Placement
The Final Form
The initial consultation typically involves a discussion with the dentist to determine goals (some patients will opt for partial veneers; others, full veneers), resources, time and what works best for the both of you. If your goals align with your doctor’s, this appointment may include diagnostics, although this can be done in a separate appointment. “Typically, what you can expect at the consultation is an exam, a checkup, X-rays, photographs, smile design fabrication, and a discussion of your goals to address your questions,“ says Dr. Almunajed.
After the dental team’s initial analyses, a temporary form of veneers—often made from a malleable, mouth-safe putty called polyvinyl siloxane, according to Dr. Katsaros—can be used to fill the initial impression and create temporary teeth covers, like a simple sleeve that slides on over teeth, to test-drive the potential look. The dentist can then play with color and shape to provide a look that resembles the final veneers. “It’s almost like a caulk gun that comes in different mixes and shoots into the mold like an injectable,” says Dr. Katsaros of the polyvinyl siloxane. “We then place the hardened form on the patient’s teeth and lock it on to give them a prototype for their smile. Patients walk into the office that day with their regular smile—or at least the smile they want to change—and it turns into the smile they’ve been hoping for.”
During this time, it’s likely that a master ceramist is hard at work, handcrafting each veneer—a process that can take as many as eight hours per tooth, according to Kim. At this point, the ceramist has considered all the data from the initial consult and determined the right shade—or rather, 40 shades—required to create the form. “It’s very sensitive, in a way, choosing what’s right for the patient,” Kim says. “Many things are involved in determining the color— sometimes even a patient’s lip condition can change the appearance. For example, maybe the lip is very thick and the teeth get a lot of shadows. In this case, we need to modify the brightness of that white.”
After a few days—or even a full week—of wearing the temporaries, the patient is ready for the final veneer placement. Temporaries are removed and any required modifications are made. “At this visit, an anesthetic may be used, and then the new veneers are fitted and cemented onto the teeth with a composite resin that bonds the veneers to tooth structure,” says Dr. Lowenberg. “Once this is complete, we have the patient come back a week later to adjust their bite or occlusion of their new teeth. Usually one follow-up visit is all that is needed.”
In less than a week, your dentist may ask you to come in a final time to ensure everything works smoothly. “After the patient’s numbness goes away and they’ve had an opportunity to chew and function with them, patients come back for final photos, a bite check and any kind of adjustments that need to be made,” says Dr. Katsaros. “We can even alter their contour if they want to add some little characteristic changes.”

Veneers have come a long way since their inception, and cosmetic dentists refuse to quit innovating. Here’s what the experts think is next for veneers in the 21st century and beyond.
SMILE LITE One prediction in Dr. Katsaros’s crystal ball: the rise in popularity of “in-between” veneers, something he came across on YouTube. “The concept is called ‘Smile Lite,’ where doctors will use the same type of treatment design as veneers, but as less of a permanent solution,” he says. Similar to the temporaries placed before the final veneers, a silicone is filled in a mold to create veneers that are cheaper, but less customized. Without the stacked porcelain shades, these in-betweeners will appear more opaque and blocky, but can provide a cost-effective option for anyone looking for immediate smile improvement.
No-prep veneers are nothing new—the original porcelain variety was intended to require little-to-no preparation—but this option for smile makeovers can offer many benefits to anyone seeking minor tweaks. In fact, they’re so effective that Houston cosmetic dentist Guy M. Lewis, DDS sports no-prep veneers in his own smile and has performed the procedure on several family members. “No-prep veneers mean that we don’t drill or reduce the natural teeth—they fit right over them,” he says. “The biggest benefit is that there is no drilling, so the veneers are reversible—not that anyone I’ve seen has ever wanted to remove them.”

This 56-year-old patient was concerned that her teeth did not match her smile, face and personality, and felt extremely self conscious in public settings.
Veneers quick hits, according to Wellington, FL cosmetic dentist Sam Sadati, DDS.
When to consider alignments instead: The first option for a smile design should be orthodontic treatment. However, if the shape and the condition of the teeth are not desirable, the patient would need to correct and repair them with restorations. What to avoid: The rule of thumb is that anything you should not do with your natural teeth should not be done with veneers either.

Dr. Almunajed performed a full-smile makeover by reshaping her gingival architecture to fit new veneers, placing upper veneers and whitening the remaining teeth.
NB59_Veneers.indd 130
When to whiten: We recommend that patients get their teeth whitened before the procedure, so that a brighter shade of veneers can be chosen. You can whiten your teeth after restorations, in order to remove any possible food and drink stains, but not to whiten the original shade of the porcelain. Recovery: When a patient is wearing the provisional restoration while waiting for the final veneers to arrive from the lab, patients could experience some sensitivity. However, after the delivery of the final restorations, patients should be able to continue with their normal function.

I S A D U LT A C N E A NEW PROBLEM?
Mandy Epley has been an aesthetician for 15-plus years, first in New York and currently in New Orleans. Between the two cities and performing an estimated tens of thousands of facials, she’s seen a major uptick in one specific skin-care issue: adult acne.
“In my opinion, it’s because we eat out a lot more, we have more demanding jobs and we read too much online about what to do with our skin. And then we apply too much skin care,” she says. “It’s a bad cycle.”
BY ELIZABETH RITTER
Elmer, NJ dermatologist Ingrid Warmuth, MD shares that sentiment: “Adult acne is something a large amount of my patients struggle with on a daily basis. Unfortunately, I find that women have more of an issue treating hormonal acne than men, due to changes in testosterone levels as they age, gynecological issues like polycystic ovary syndrome [PCOS] and pregnancy.”
And New York dermatologist Ritu Saini, MD says that if she had to blame one culprit, she would single out stress, with a side of hormones. “People have more fast-paced lifestyles now, and more stress is related to more cortisol, which exacerbates breakouts, especially in those predisposed to hormonal acne.”

STAY AWAY:
Joy says her number-one tip for fighting off acne is to toss foaming cleansers and soaps. “Your regimen begins with the right cleanser, followed by the proper home care.” MAY KEEP ACNE AT BAY:
According to Dr. Warmuth, the less dairy her patients consume, the fewer breakouts they experience. “This goes for sugar consumption as well. I’m a big fan of drinking water throughout the day, too. It definitely helps.”
estheticians and derms don’t always agree on the best way to treat acne. Here’s what the experts recommend for their patients and clients: Mandy Epley New Orleans aesthetician
“When I am treating adult acne, I first do a thorough consultation on the client’s diet, supplements and medications, as well as which products they are currently using. I then do a deep pore-cleansing treatment, and every three weeks I have them do a series of three chemical peels. Then, I decide from there what is best going forward, as everything is personally customized. When we have calmed everything down, I do a series of microneedling treatments. I also suggest keeping a food journal, and I will always try whatever at-home skin-care regimen I recommend for them.”

Charles Crutchfield, MD
Nerida Joy
Eagan, MN dermatologist
“I believe diet and the right home care are the two main factors in making skin better. It is important to always thoroughly cleanse the skin—preparing a clean slate by sloughing off surface dryness is 50 percent of the success of any acne treatment. I also like working in treatment serums that are nurturing and supportive. Most people with adult acne are surface-dry, and getting rid of that dry, dead cell buildup is super important, as it holds congestion. Keeping skin hydrated is essential to speeding up its recovery and achieving healthy skin.”
“Acne goes by so many names—adult acne, acne rosacea, rosacea, adult-onset acne, and granulomatous rosacea—so, depending on whether there is just redness, or redness and bumps, or just bumps, I will tailor a prescription-strength program to address the components of the patients’ concerns. There is a long list of things in a diet that can exasperate acne and rosacea, and by identifying the particular triggers for a particular patient, you can minimize outbreaks. However, I’ve found the most effective treatments are a combination of prescription medications, in addition to trigger avoidance.”

FRAPPUCCINO AND THE FLARE-UP
S P R I N G – S U M M E R 2020
Vienna, VA dermatologist Brenda Dintiman, MD doesn’t think hormonally triggered acne is necessarily new, but she does blame what she refers to as the “Starbucks phenomenon” for some of our modern-day skin issues. “With many people drinking daily cappuccinos, and even Frappuccinos, there seems to be a rise in the type of acne that occurs around the mouth, and even rosacea,” she says. “After 20 years of saying diet doesn’t matter, I now tell patients to avoid dairy and eat a low-glycemic diet to avoid triggering hormonal acne.”

Almost everyone we interviewed for this story said the same thing: Spironolactone is effective, especially when it comes to treating hormonal acne. “Spironolactone—a mild blood-pressure medicine that is prescribed off-label for acne—has been great for some of my clients, as it suppresses androgens, or the male sex hormone,” Epley explains. “But, if you don’t have the overactive hormone, I haven’t seen it help much.” Dr. Warmuth is also a fan. “Treating hormonal acne takes a little thinking outside the box. I typically recommend oral spironolactone medication,” she says, but stresses that not everyone is a candidate. “After a simple blood test to check potassium levels and rule out pregnancy, I usually trial this medication for a few weeks or months, and then have a follow-up evaluation to see how the patient is responding. For the most part, taking a daily pill is easier for adults to fit into their routine. Then add on a gentle glycolic or alphahydroxy acid face wash once a day with a topical tretinoin at night and they’re set.”

Before + After
Dr. Warmuth calls this 20-year-old patient’s case as nothing less than remarkable. “She had a severe case of inflammatory, comedonal and nodulocystic acne, and was concerned with scarring. After a nine-month course of isotretinoin, the result is a clear face with hardly any scarring, and other than dry lips, she reported no side effects while taking the medication.”

“This 35-year-old patient had severe nodulocystic acne with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is important to address when treating patients of color,” Dr. Crutchfield explains. “We used low-dose isotretinoin for nine months and a compounded skin-lightening agent of hydroquinone, retinoic acid and fluocinolone acetonide for life-changing results.”

If you think your eyes are aging faster than you are, experts say you’re not wrong.
S P R I N G – S U M M E R 2020

N E W B E A U T Y. C O M
Why Our Eyes Age So Fast With the amount of screens we stare at all day, our eyes are working overtime. But, blue light and eye strain aside, the mere natural progression of aging takes its toll on the delicate skin around them. “As we get older, the skin around our eyes starts to become thinner and lose collagen and elasticity,” says Torrance, CA plastic surgeon Linda Swanson, MD. We also lose precious hyaluronic acid, which keeps our skin supple by locking in moisture. The aging effects happening right underneath our eyes also play a factor on how well-rested and fresh-faced we look: “The underlying fat pads in our cheeks start to become ptotic, which is a fancy way of saying they sag or drop. Bone also starts to resorb, which shrinks the facial framework on which the fat, muscle and skin sit,” adds Boston facial plastic surgeon Jaimie DeRosa, MD.
When to Expect to See Changes There is no specific age when we can expect our eyes to start looking like our mothers’ or our grandmothers’. For many people, aging eyes become more noticeable in photos. “It really depends on the patient, genetics and the anatomy of their orbit, their eyes— eyeballs and eyelids,” explains Lake Oswego, OR facial plastic surgeon Mark A. Petroff, MD. “Some patients have very puffy, tired-looking eyes in their 30s. It’s not uncommon for a patient in their mid- to late-30s to have upper or lower eyelid surgery to correct concerns like drooping eyelids or lower-eye bags. There really is no age limit.” La Jolla, CA plastic surgeon Robert Singer, MD notes that external elements can also contribute to early eye aging: “Factors like smoking and sun exposure will play a significant role. Those living in Florida or California may experience signs of aging around the eyes much faster than those in different geographic areas who are not in the sun as often.”
“It’s not uncommon for a patient in their mid- to late-30s to have eyelid surgery.”

These underlying structural changes age the eyes, and because the skin is thinner, there can also be increased discoloration under the lower eyelids, which can make volume loss look even worse.

Common Concerns
COM_NB59_143
Puffiness
An excessive accumulation of fluids can cause swelling in the skin tissue surrounding the eyes. The buildup of fluid overnight can result in bags and puffiness in the morning.
Dark Circles
Dark circles can be one of two things, or both: The area can appear darker due to pigmentation in the skin, or due to a shadow created by the orbital fat pushing the eyelid tissue out.
Under-Eye Bags
The “bags” we typically see under the eyes or in the inside corners of the upper eyelids are made of fat deposits. When the orbital septum, a fibrous layer on the lower eyelid, stretches out it allows the fat to become more visible.
Droopy Lids
Ptosis—or heavy, fallen droopy eyelids—occurs when the upper eyelids droop downward, which can be due to genetics, damage to the eyes, or more commonly, the natural effects of aging.
Crow’s-Feet
Squinting and smiling can cause the orbicularis oculi muscle around the eyes to contract, creating perpendicular pull lines where the muscles insert into the skin.

Topicals When asked if eye creams really do work, the answer from our eye experts is a resounding, YES! Delicate eyelid skin allows for easier penetration of topical ingredients compared to other areas of the body. “They work for protection and repair, however, they won't improve puffy lids or deeper wrinkles,” says Chatham, NJ oculoplastic surgeon Baljeet Purewal, MD. What key ingredients should you look for? According to the pros: moisturizing hyaluronic acid, growth factors, antioxidants, peptides, retinol, and kojic acid to lighten dark circles. Formulation matters just as much the ingredients, adds Dr. DeRosa: “You want to treat the area specifically with an eye cream or serum because they are formulated in a way that can penetrate the epidermis and dermal layers of the skin. There are a lot of products with the right ingredients, but not the proper formulation. Those won’t do anything but sit on top of the skin and put a dent in your wallet.”
NB59_Eyes.indd 145
“Also very important for they eye area is a daily sunscreen,” adds Fresno, CA dermatologist Kathleen Behr, MD. Dr. Singer notes, “There is a limit to what skin care alone can do. It may help prevent some of the progression, but it can’t replace a surgical procedure for patients with a lot of skin laxity. There’s no topical agent proven to reverse aging skin, and that includes around the eyes.”

Neurotoxins can temporarily soften and prevent future lines from forming around the eyes. “Botox injections every three to four months can help crow’s-feet, open the eye area and shape the brows,” says Dr. Behr. “Each patient is unique and placement is key to achieving good results.” According to West Palm Beach, FL dermatologist Kenneth R. Beer, MD, a little neurotoxin can deliver an instant nonsurgical browlift. “We use a little bit of botulinum toxin to reposition the brows, and a lot of times it also helps with eyelid drooping. Other times we have to refer people for surgery, but between the lasers, neurotoxins and fillers, we have so much to offer people who aren’t ready to go under the knife.”
Skin Plumpers For hollowness around the eyes, filler can help restore some youthful volume to the area. “When patients come in with hollowness, there are special injection techniques that can be used with a micro-syringe full of filler, and that works pretty nicely,” says Dr. Beer. “For eyelid hooding, sometimes we can get some benefit from fillers placed high to push up the brow.” Results should be retouched at anywhere from six to 12 months, depending on the filler used. “Fillers can be used off-label in the tear trough, but must be placed by an advanced skill injector,” adds Dr. Singer. “What appear to be under-eye bags can also be the result of bad filler placement. Some people end up having to undergo surgery because of inadequate improvement from nonsurgical procedures.”

Lasers and other skin-perfecting treatments can also help with volume loss, discoloration and skin texture. “Lasers do two things,” says Dr. Beer. “They will help create new collagen and tighten existing collagen. They also resurface new skin growing in.” “Microneedling is a great option for those who want to help stimulate collagen production in their skin,” explains Dr. DeRosa. Many doctors combine radio frequency with microneedling. “In tissue studies, Profound RF around the periorbital region has been shown to increase elastin within the skin, as well as hyaluronic acid and collagen.” Dr. Behr says other energy devices often used for under-eye tightening are Ultherapy, which employs ultrasound energy, and ThermiSmooth, which gently heats deep layers of skin using radio-frequency energy. According to Dr. Purewal, there are claims that dark circles caused by pigmentation in the skin can be improved with chemical peels or microneedling with platelet-rich fibrin. “These treatments are often combined with a skin-care regimen that includes a brightening topical cream,” she says. Dr. Singer notes that the benefits of nonsurgical eyelid treatments all have significant limitations and that while dark circles can typically be improved, they cannot usually be eliminated.

This 68-year-old patient was concerned about upper eyelid drooping and under-eye fullness.
Wanting to refresh “tired-looking” eyes, this 50-year-old patient sought Dr. Asaadi for a combination surgery.
A F T E R
A F T E R
Denver facial plastic surgeon Brent J. Smith, MD treated her with an upper and lower blepharoplasty.
Dr. Asaadi performed a bilateral upper and lower blepharoplasty with festoon correction.
Blepharoplasty
Festoons
UPPER: An upper blepharoplasty can reposition fat and muscle and reduce excess skin to correct the drooping and puffiness, making eyes look more open and alert. It can be done in the office and takes about one hour, with results lasting 10 to 15 years.
Festoons, aka malar bags, are genetic conditions that present as puffy bags below the lower eyelids and above the cheeks, and can look similar to dark circles. This results in an older-looking appearance, which New York plastic surgeon Mokhtar Asaadi, MD says occurs due to a loss of underlying muscle tone. “Everyone thinks festoons are caused by fluid collection, but in 80 percent of patients with malar bags, it’s also because of the lower lid muscle laxity. You must also address the orbicularis muscle.” To treat the bags, he first evaluates the cause: “If excess fat is a contributing factor, then the fat deposits underneath the skin must be surgically removed. If the cause is lax muscles, then the ligaments of the surrounding eye muscles must be released and the eye muscles need to be tightened to reduce puffiness.”
LOWER: The best surgical solution for persistent under-eye bags is a lower blepharoplasty. Typically, a small amount of fat and muscle is removed, and slack skin is tightened up. “The partial removal or repositioning of lower eyelid fat bags is performed either through the inside of the lower eyelid—the transconjunctival approach—or directly,” says Eugene, OR plastic surgeon Mark Jewell, MD. Dr. Petroff adds, “A lower blepharoplasty will eliminate the shadowy look by getting rid of the fat bulge under the eye.”
NB59_Eyes.indd 148
Combination Procedures
The last stop on the eye rejuvenation train, these procedures will have eyes looking younger, longer.
No two eye concerns are the same, and many patients may need both upper and lower eyelid surgery to get a bright-eyed result. “The ultimate goal is to create a more youthful-looking eye that has a natural crease that fits their anatomy. And everyone’s anatomy is different. There’s not one eye procedure that fits all,” Dr. Petroff says.
“ You must address the orbicularis muscle.” —Dr. Asaadi

Shaving Takes Months
The mess-free No Mo No Mo-Bush wax strips in this DIY, travel-friendly kit heat up when you rub them in between your hands. $12, ulta.com
According to Fort Lauderdale, FL dermatologist Dr. Matthew Elias, the average woman spends about 11 minutes a day, at least three days a week, just shaving: “That equates to more than two hours a month and one whole day a year,” he says. “When you add it up, it’s the equivalent of almost two entire months of your lifetime spent on shaving!”
No Pain, No Gain WAXWITCH’s Stacy Rus is adamant that there is no such thing as a painless wax. “It doesn’t matter what the ad says, ultimately, you’re having hair ripped out,” says the waxing expert. “There is no special type of wax that exists that will make it painless, but the mild discomfort should subside fast, and it does get easier to tolerate with each and every visit.”

Out of the Shadows “Shaving is an aggressive form of exfoliation, which makes it easier for dirt, bacteria and deodorant residue to build up in the underarm hair follicles,” explains Rus. “It can also cause ingrown hairs, which darken the area over time, creating a shadowy look. Waxing gets rid of hair at the root, stops the overexfoliation and eliminates the dark shadow, which gives the underarms a much smoother, lighter look.”

After-Care Is Key Having an adverse reaction doesn’t always mean your waxer made a mistake or that you’re allergic to the wax; user-error might play a part. Not following after-care instructions is the most common cause of an unfavorable outcome. It could also be due to diet, a medication or a simple histamine reaction.
Retinol On, Wax Off
Davie, FL dermatologist Lesley Clark-Loeser, MD, says laser hair removal is also a great option for those who tend to get razor burn or bumps: “The laser targets the brown pigment in the hair follicle beneath the skin and stops the cycle of ingrown hairs that often occurs when waxing or shaving areas with thick or curly hair.”

“Threading is a much better option than waxing if you are using a topical retinoid on your skin,” says Bay Harbor Islands, FL dermatologist Melissa Lazarus, MD. “Wax can pull at delicate skin and leave it red and irritated, or worse, with raw areas where some skin is pulled off along with hair.”
The Bumps Stop Here
On average, we can shed anywhere from 50 to 100 body hairs a day.
Lasers Aren’t One and Done
TAMARA SPECHT/THE LICENSING PROJECT
Glowing Skin Is Not Always In “Never get a laser hair removal treatment when you’ve recently tanned,” advises Covington, LA dermatologist Christel Malinski, MD. “Even self-tanner can be seen as pigment by the laser and cause an unintended burn.”
NB59_Hair Removal.indd 155
“All hair is not in the same growing stage,” Tenafly, NJ dermatologist Ana Cristina Laureano, MD says. “Only a percentage of follicles being lasered will be affected, so they must be retreated once they complete the cycle and return to the growing stage.”
Complexion Concerns Wilmington, NC dermatologist Kendall Egan, MD cautions patients with darker skin tones: “With laser hair reduction, darker skin tones and those with tanned skin are at risk for burning and scarring. Be sure to seek a qualified dermatologist who can select the appropriate laser.”
Accepting All Shades If you do have lighter hair, New York dermatologist Susan Bard, MD says fear not. “Because the laser is unable to effectively target hair with little-tono melanin in it, like white, blond, gray or red hair, try electrolysis instead—it uses short-wave radio frequencies to disrupt hair growth—and is the best option for light hair.”

It’s no wonder skin-tightening procedures have shown dramatic increases over the last few years. Plastic surgeons, dermatologists and beauty buffs are pioneering new ways to contour everything from the backs of hands to the inner thighs. This is lucky for us, considering we lose about 1 percent of the existing collagen in our skin every year after age 30, explains Chicago dermatologist Carolyn Jacob, MD—and experience the resulting skin sag.
A NB59_SkinTightening.indd 157
s it stands, there are two major ways to slim when it comes to skin: for minor looseness, energy devices—radio frequency, ultrasound and infrared—can noninvasively penetrate the skin and encourage the formation of new collagen, the structural protein that supports skin’s shape and prevents laxity. Rochester, NY dermatologist Lesley Loss, MD says there are definitely limitations to nonsurgical skin tightening, including duration of effect. “Some results may only last a few months, while others can last one to three years,” she adds.
The second option for addressing slackness is surgery, often reserved for those with greater sagging and usually caused by age-related changes, significant weight loss or general skin damage. “In most cases, patients don’t realize their skin laxity is due to damage that has occurred in the elastic fibers,” Glen Burnie, MD plastic surgeon Adam Summers, MD says. “This is commonly seen as thinning of the skin, which occurs after years of UV exposure or from the use of some medications. Fibers can also be damaged when skin rapidly expands, causing stretch marks.”
The trade-off becomes this: Energy devices require little-to-no downtime, but typically several sessions. And at times, it takes a matter of months to see results, which are not as dramatic as those from surgical procedures. Las Vegas plastic surgeon Mary Herte, MD notes that a tummy tuck—one of the primary surgical contouring options—can have a big payoff aside from the ability to tackle looser skin. “The real key to the amazing success of tummy tucks and the high patient satisfaction rate is the extra benefit of repairing stretched muscles that are often the primary problem associated with a ‘Buddha Belly,’” she says. “Loose skin removal alone does not make a flat stomach. Only recreating that internal corset of muscle can provide that lean appearance.”

Everything to consider for smoother, tighter, firmer skin. Radio Frequency
N E W B E A U T Y. C O M
01
For skin that is slightly loose
What it is: According to Dr. Jacob, radio frequency, or RF, is a thermalbased technology that selectively heats the outermost layer of skin to induce collagen and elastin production.
S P R I N G – S U M M E R 2020
158
How it works: A radio-frequency machine sends alternating currents of radio waves into the skin from the tip of an electrode found in the handheld paddle. The energy reaches and heats the cells in charge of collagen stimulation, though this process needs about 90 days, or three months, to reveal major results. Brand names: Thermage, Accent, Pellevé, Venus Viva, and IntraGen
Turn to page 193 to find one near you.
What to expect: Though the procedure can be performed without an aesthetic, local anesthesia and numbing creams are both available to help dull any pain. Many doctors say radio frequency can feel akin to a hot stone massage. During the procedure, multiple, overlapping passes are applied to skin in a square pattern, Dr. Jacob says. While patients can be in and out of the chair in as little as 45 minutes, multiple treatments spaced days apart are required for visible skin tightening.
B E F O R E
What else to know: Microneedling for enhanced tightening is one combination option that is currently being used on the face. Price: $600–$1,000, depending on the area of the body
A F T E R
Results duration: Up to three years, but typically less
Just one Thermage FLX treatment, performed by Dr. Jacob, visibly reduced the appearance of wrinkles and laxity in this 52-year-old patient's neck, jowls and chin three months later.

2/25/20 9:13 PM
COM_NB59_159
Ultrasound
02
For mild-to-moderate skin laxity
What it is: Focused ultrasound, penetrate the skin and induce collagen production, much like radio frequency. The major difference being that ultrasound, and especially high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), can reach much deeper into the skin. How it works: Using the same technology—different intensity— that provides pregnant women with imaging, ultrasound devices shoot micro-focused sound waves into the skin to warm the cells responsible for creating structural proteins, Dr. Loss says. “This effectively heats the target area to between 65 and 70 degrees Celsius, triggering focal tightening and the stimulation of collagen production,” she explains.
What else to know: A bonus for ultrasound therapy, is that “recovery is purely social in nature,” Dr. Loss says. “If you don’t mind someone asking why you are a little red or have a bruise, then there is no downtime. Otherwise, it may mean a few days of wearing cover-up to hide unwanted redness.” Prices: $500–$6,000, depending on the area of the body treated Results duration: As with radio frequency, a few months may pass before results are apparent, and they can sometimes be unpredictable.

B E F O R E
Brand names: Ultherapy and Exilis
What to expect: According to Dr. Loss, each treatment takes about 30 minutes on average, though this varies depending on the area of the body treated and a few treatments are necessary for best results. Because discomfort can be relative, Dr. Loss says most doctors offer several options for pain management. “Many patients need only mild distraction with music and a vibrational device placed on their collarbone,” she notes. “However, we also offer alternatives including nitrous oxide.”
NB59_SkinTightening.indd 159
"Ultherapy was the best choice for this patient at the time because she needed some skin tightening, but wasn't ready for a facelift yet," says Sugar Land, TX plastic surgeon Peter Chang, MD. "She only had one session of nonsurgical Ultherapy to her lower face to get this beautiful result."

Light-Based Treatments
N E W B E A U T Y. C O M
03
What they are: The two players in the world of light are infrared radiation (IR) and intense-pulsed light (IPL), which is not for tightening but popular in the aesthetic space for pigment irregularities and aging skin conditions like wrinkles and sunspots. IR is “invisible” light with a wavelength so long, it is not detected by human eyes. It reaches into the skin and heats cells like radio frequency and ultrasound do, but is less popular as a skin tightener because the results are often not as dramatic as with other treatment options. How they work: “Infrared uses light emitted in the IR spectrum, or approximately 800 nm to 1 mm,” says Dr. Loss. “It generates heat and functions to tighten skin by stimulating collagen contraction and neocollagenesis, or new collagen formation.”
160
Brand names: IR: SkinTyte and Zaffiro
What to expect: In-office infrared procedures shouldn’t exceed an hour. During this time, a cooling gel is spread over the treatment area to mitigate the heat from the device, and a handheld paddle is used to deliver focused pulses of light over multiple passes. At-home devices usually feature cordless wands with infrared capabilities, but require more usage. What else to know: Infrared is common in physical therapy techniques—it is used to repair sore muscles—and saunas, where it is thought to detox the body by causing increased sweating.
B E F O R E
Price: A series of five in-office infrared sessions could cost about $1,000. At-home devices typically run a few hundred dollars. Results duration: They vary, but can last up to a year—multiple sessions are usually needed.
This 47-year-old patient was concerned with skin laxity and general looseness in her abdomen. To address these concerns, Dr. Loss used the FDA-cleared Zaffiro device with infrared technology to tighten the skin after just one session. Results shown here are immediately following the treatment.

Surgery
04 DID YOU KNOW? BESIDES AGING, THE SUN IS THE BIGGEST CULPRIT AS TO WHY SKIN LOSES ELASTICITY, WHICH IS WHY APPLYING SUNSCREEN WITH SPF 30 DAILY (AND REAPPLYING) IS VITAL.
For severe laxity that cannot be treated through nonsurgical means What these are: “Nonsurgical skintightening treatments can be quite effective for many patients,” notes Dr. Summers. “However, some don’t respond to nonsurgical treatments, or have significantly damaged skin, so their best option is to have the damaged skin removed.” Many procedures that include the word “lift” or “tuck” are considered to be surgical skin-tightening procedures. This includes a traditional facelift, necklift, tummy tuck, thigh lift, arm lift and others. How they work: “It should be noted that these procedures do not actually improve the quality of the skin; they just remove the damaged skin that is contributing to the lax appearance,” explains Dr. Summers. “In some cases, nonsurgical treatments can be used in conjunction with surgery to achieve the best results. Patients with sun damage frequently benefit from this dual-modality approach.” Treatment areas: Varies, but can be the neck, abdomen, thighs, arms or face
A F T E R
B E F O R E
What to expect: During any surgery of this sort, excess skin is removed and the remainder is repositioned for a more streamlined appearance.
To remove excess skin on this 49-year-old patient’s stomach and legs, Dr. Summers performed a full bodylift, complete with liposuction to remove pockets of fat. This was followed by a tummy tuck, a waistline lift and a thigh lift.
NB59_SkinTightening.indd 161
A bodylift, one of the most common surgeries of this type, involves contouring the lower trunk, typically from the buttocks to abdomen, though this can extend to include the upper thighs and upper abdomen where it meets the chest. “During a bodylift, lax skin is removed from the abdomen, pubic region and waistline,” Dr. Summers says. “Then the abdominal muscles are tightened and the remaining soft tissue is lifted and smoothed, resulting in a better body contour.” What else to know: “Patients who will benefit from a bodylift typically have lost a significant amount of weight and now have hanging skin in the belly and waistline, sagging of the pubic area and bulging of the saddlebag region,” Dr. Summers explains. Variations of tummy tucks, including modified procedures with patients with less tissue laxity above the belly button and reverse tummy tucks for patients with good lower abdominal tightness but looseness above the belly button, can also be an option in the appropriate patient. Although some of these procedures can be outpatient, more extensive surgeries will require an overnight hospital stay and warrant a ride home and outside care for at least one day post-surgery. Price: Arm lifts and necklifts can cost upwards of $8,000 each; a thigh lift is typically around $10,000; a full bodylift with a tummy tuck could run $30,000. Results duration: Permanent

Whether the goal is holding off on procedures or maintaining their results, exercise and nutrition both play a role in how sleek and toned the arms can look. A key area to focus on at the gym? The triceps. “My go-to exercise for tricep contour is the standing tricep extension with a dumbbell,” explains trainer Lacey Stone, who says her celebrity clients “love the results they get from doing this often.” Trainer Gunnar Peterson adds to that game plan with bench dips, close-grip push-ups and overhead extensions, calling them “the triple threat.” However, spot-treating the arms won’t produce that covetable contour if nutrition isn’t on point—Stone says healthy eating is at least 70 percent of how a person looks. Furthermore, expectations must be realistic based on each individual's starting point. “No exercise can completely eliminate the flabbiness,” Stone says, “but if you have a healthy diet, do five to six hours of cardio a week and consistently do the tricep exercises I suggested three times a week over the course of four to eight weeks, you will see awesome changes.”

Less-Invasive Treatments
Today’s growing arsenal of noninvasive arm treatments can be used in combination with surgery or on their own for patients who don’t necessarily seek a more dramatic change. Chicago plastic surgeon David Dreyfuss, MD says BodyTite is one of several treatments that rely on radio frequency to reduce fullness, and for some patients, correct modest skin laxity. “It only requires two small incisions of about 2 millimeters,” he explains. When done on its own and not in conjunction with surgery, it requires local anesthesia. “While the fat reduction is visible within weeks, it can often take four to six months to see the skin tightening associated with BodyTite.”
TRUNK ARCHIVE
Another noninvasive option is CoolSculpting, which eliminates unwanted upper arm fat with cryolipolysis—freezing fat cells and causing them to be expelled from the body through its natural waste process. It can also be used in conjunction with radio frequency for slimming and skin-firming results as, on its own, “it’s strictly for fat removal,” says Richmond, VA plastic surgeon Ruth Hillelson, MD.
NB59_Arms Package.indd 165
Ultrasound can help address both the shape of the arms and the texture of the skin, especially with the help of radio frequency and skin cooling. An Exilis Elite treatment incorporates all three technologies, and Melville, NY dermatologist Kally Papantoniou, MD says it’s a great for crepey skin. “These sessions are comfortable and feel like hot stone massages,” she adds. For shapelier arms, electromagnetic stimulation is a helpful alternative. “Emsculpt focuses on increasing muscle mass,” Grand Rapids, MI plastic surgeon Bradley Bengtson, MD says. Dr. Dreyfuss notes electromagnetic muscle stimulation on the arms is relatively new, and while effective, the results are not permanent, and maintenance treatments (typically recommended on a quarterly basis) are beneficial to maintain them.

A commonly occurring skin concern on the arms is tiny bumps called keratosis pilaris. “They’re caused by the prominence of dead layers of skin and hair follicle plugging,” says Dr. Papantoniou. “These ‘bumps’ can be darker or reddish in appearance.” A combination of gentle cleansers and moisturizers can help hydrate and repair the skin barrier. There are also both OTC and prescription moisturizers that contain urea or lactic acid, which can chemically exfoliate the skin to speed up the process.

After undergoing significant weight loss, this 53-year-old patient wanted to correct unwanted fat and loose skin on her arms that she was not able to improve on her own.
“There is a great deal of confusion with patients concerning liposuction versus skin removal,” says Dr. Bengtson. When it comes to figuring out exactly how to approach reshaping a patient’s arms, “the tricky part is determining how much the fat is contributing versus the excessive skin.” “Brachioplasty is appropriate for patients with moderate-to-severe skin laxity,” says Dr. Hillelson. Also known as an arm lift, brachioplasty involves making an incision in the armpit area that may run as far down as the elbow in order to remove loose, sagging, excess skin. “The extent of the incision and scar will be dependent upon the degree of excess skin,” explains Dr. Hillelson. While the surgery will substantially improve the appearance of the arms, Dr. Dreyfuss stresses that patients “will have a permanent scar extending from the elbow to the armpit. However, while it can be very obvious, over time, it does fade dramatically.” Some patients may benefit from a much more limited incision. La Jolla, CA plastic surgeon Robert Singer, MD adds that many patients with moderate skin laxity may benefit from a modified brachioplasty with an incision confined to the armpit, plus liposuction. “Additional treatments with Emsculpt to improve the muscle tone can further improve the results in the appropriate patient,” he says.

If the primary concern is fullness of the upper arms and there is good skin elasticity, removal of fat—not skin—is the way to go, via liposuction.

Dr. Bengtson performed a brachioplasty to remove the excess skin and fat, giving her upper arms a tighter, more toned look that matched the rest of her physique.
“Patients with good skin quality and fatty fullness are candidates for liposuction of the arms,” says Dr. Dreyfuss. Because having less skin laxity is ideal going into liposuction, younger patients often see the most optimal results from the treatment, which is typically done as an outpatient procedure. Most often performed under sedation or general anesthesia, liposuction of the arms “requires two small incisions— approximately 3 millimeters on the lower and upper area,” Dr. Dreyfuss says. This is followed by wearing a compression garment for up to four weeks to minimize excessive fluid buildup. In addition to mere fat removal, Houston plastic surgeon Henry Mentz, MD says liposuction can also sculpt. “I am a firm believer that three-dimensional contouring can provide the most beautiful results,” he explains. “Microaire’s power-assisted liposuction allows for detailed contouring and can be combined with BodyTite to improve skin tightness and accent contours of the deltoid, triceps and biceps groove.”

An earthy, calming oil, vetiver is known to release fear. Terri Thomas, lead massage therapist at Miraval Austin, refers to it as “grounding.” It even supports the immune system while you travel. Alternates: Diluted flower essential oils like chamomile, neroli, clary sage, rose, rose geranium, or a single drop of ylang-ylang or jasmine, may work better for some, as they’re know to distract the mind via a bouquet of flower blossoms.
A great at-work solution, this oil relaxes the muscles while it sharpens the mind—part of why it’s called the “great motivator.“ Alternates: Gillerman says this is one category that has so many options. “For energizing, try peppermint. For tension brought on by stress or angst, use German Chamomile—it’s the strongest anti-inflammatory in the group—petitgrain, vetiver or clary sage.”

THE ESSENTIALS GO HIGH Whether you’re using a rollerball or some other form of essential oil, be sure it’s high-quality, Thomas says. “It’s important in terms of receiving the benefit of the oil—plus, it’s good to be mindful of the ingredients we use on our skin.”
BE SENSITIVE While Thomas is a big fan of experimenting with aromatherapy, she stresses it’s important to mix pure essential oils with another oil, such as coconut or jojoba. “Applying pure essential oils can be harsh on the skin and may create a photo-sensitivity.”
LOVE LAVENDER Look to lavender as a go-to; it works for a lot of issues. Tara Cruz, senior spa director at Four Seasons New York Downtown, especially likes the highaltitude French variety. “It has healing properties, without the heaviness sometimes associated with it.”

Q:
What exactly is the “science of sleep?”
Q:
Why is sleep so important? After a good night’s sleep, our appearance, mood and productivity are significantly enhanced. “We also lower our risk for long-term consequences such as cardiovascular disease and cognitive impairment,” says Dr. Rebecca Robbins, co-author of Sleep for Success! and sleep expert for skin-care line Bynacht. “Sleep is a vital comportment of our lives—a necessary component of our health, well-being and happiness, as well as the overall quality and quantity of our lives. Unfortunately, for many in our global society, sleep is a luxury.” While sleep consultant Christine Hansen, CEO of Sleep Like a Boss, charges between $7,000 and $10,000 a session, she is on a slight push to change that “sleep as a luxury” mindset and get people to think of it as an absolute necessity— one that not only improves our lives, but extends it. Hansen mainly sees clients who “have tried everything else”—sleep studies, supplements, retreats, the works— and are ready for something new. “We basically combine the mind and body to see how we can get stress levels down,” she says. “The secret is about balance, and there’s a science behind that.”
NB59_Sleep.indd 179
While the exact formula isn’t so uniform, Hansen’s holistic program—she is also a proponent of “throwing out the sleeping pills”—involves a little more than cutting out caffeine. She runs lab tests, including hormone, thyroid, food-sensitivity and gut panels, all with the same goal: to improve one’s relationship with sleep. “I like looking at it like any healthy relationship; it all comes back to how you treat it consistently. People neglect sleep all day and then, at night, they squeeze everything in. That is a lot of pressure. My advice is to look at sleep as starting when you wake up—it ties back to how you think during the day, how you eat during the day and what you do throughout the day. Looking at it that way is a lot more helpful.”
Q:
How much does a consistent sleep schedule count for? A steady sleep schedule might be more commonly associated with a baby’s routine, but it is also imperative for adults. Dr. Robbins says, in addition to having a bedtime routine, her number-one recommendation is to keep a consistent sleep schedule—one that involves falling asleep and waking up as close to the same time Monday to Monday (and, yes, that means weekends). “When we vary our sleep schedule, we’re signaling to our body that we want to change time zones and adapt to a new place,” she says. “Keeping sleep—especially our wake-ups— as close to the same time will improve our ability to fall asleep.” The National Sleep Foundation backs that move and says doing so will also help you stay asleep.

deprivation, which can worsen inflammatory conditions and result in poor collagen deposition; blood flow to the face is increased during sleep and sleep deprivation can lead to a gray or ashen appearance; and eyes can appear swollen and red with dark circles.” —Newport Beach, CA plastic surgeon Sanjay Grover, MD
02 “Sleeping habits can have
a profound effect on the appearance of the eyes, particular the lower eyelids. Patients will often notice that their ‘bags’ are worse in the morning. This is usually due to the lower eyelid fat holding on to water that gets worse when the individual is in a sleeping.” —Boca Raton, FL oculoplastic surgeon Steven Fagien, MD
03 “Not getting enough sleep is
associated with increased stress, and under stress, we regress. That means that, in the shortterm, your skin issues—acne, eczema, psoriasis, itching— will flare up. Chronic sleep deprivation can also translate into disruption of collagen pathways, more rapid skin aging and even reduced wound healing.” —Nanuet, NY dermatologist Heidi Waldorf, MD
associated with lack of horizontal posture. This leads to redistribution of water volume where the feet and lower extremities swell and the face can experience volume loss.

Almost all experts say a soothing bedtime routine is a critical part of our ability to fall asleep. “While it would be convenient to be able to switch our brains off like a smartphone, sleep is a process, and it takes time,” Dr. Robbins says. She suggests allowing for 10 to 15 minutes to turn off your phone, write in a journal, take a warm shower and do whatever else—like taking a bath or running through your nightly skin-care routine (she likes using products that have sleep-enhancing components like lavender)—might relax you. Dr. Eric Nofzinger, the creator of the Ebb sleep device, the first cooling technology and non-medicinal method to help with sleep, stresses the importance of the “wind-down” portion of the night in helping to “turn off” any hyperactivity in the brain that might interfere with a solid night of rest.

Q:
While the solutions might seem endless, stats show that between 50 and 70 million U.S. adults have some sort of sleep disorder, which begs the million-dollar question: Just how much are those coveted eight hours worth if not getting them can cause so many issues? Lotte New York Palace thinks they can put a price tag on it: The hotel charges $10,000 a night for a stay in its Hästens Ultimate Sleep Suite, which opened last November. The experience includes a sleep concierge, and it is the only hotel in the world to house this iteration of the Vividus bed, worth $200,000.
Q: …and what about the almighty “power nap?” Of course, options aren’t only limited to hotel stays, or only-at-night rest. The Dreamery by Casper hopes to appeal to the lunchtime crowd and pretty much anyone in need of a “cat nap” with its new nap bar (it’s currently only located in New York, but the brand also has Sleep Shops across the country), where customers pay $25 for a 45-minute session that includes beverages, pajamas, amenities, and a private “pod” for resting. And health-tech brand Philips says 2020 will be its biggest year yet for its SmartSleep suite of solutions that are “dedicated to innovation and the importance of sleep as part of a healthy lifestyle.”

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, but it dwindles dramatically with age. Are supplements the answer to restoring youthful hair, skin and nails, and keeping our joints nimble? We investigate.

COM_NB59_186
Without collagen, Misty Copeland couldn’t plié, Aly Raisman couldn’t land a triple-double and Serena Williams couldn’t deliver her notorious slam. “It’s the glue that holds us together, allowing our joints to be flexible, but it’s also integral to our skin—it’s what gives it a smooth, firm appearance,” says New York dermatologist Julie Russak, MD. “It’s also a key building block of our hair and nails.” The downside: “As we age, our bodies become less efficient at producing collagen, which can contribute to a variety of aging cues, like a dull, wrinkled complexion and limited mobility,” adds Jenn Randazzo, registered dietician and associate director of education at Vital Proteins.
The Power of Protein
01
To produce new collagen internally, we need an abundance of protein, including amino acids called glycine and proline. “Unfortunately, the majority of Americans are protein deficient, and not because they’re not eating enough protein, but because they’re not digesting it properly to make it available to tissues internally,” says holistic nutritionist Kelly LeVeque. “For example, on average, people synthesize 3 grams of glycine a day, but we need 10 grams to synthesize new collagen.” This becomes even more challenging as we get older. “By the age of 40, our ability to produce collagen decreases by about 25 percent, and by age 60, it dips even lower to 50 percent,” says Delray Beach, FL dermatologist Dr. Janet Allenby.

“ I generally recommend taking 10 to 20 grams of collagen per day.”

03
When it comes to choosing a supplement, the source of the collagen—typically animals and marine life (fish scales and skin)— matters. “The most common type is bovine collagen, which is derived from cow hides, bones, cartilage and connective tissue. To make sure it is clean and free of environmental contaminants, look for grass-fed, pasture-raised, organic and hormone-free products,” says Dr. Russak, who prefers marine sources like wild-caught fish because their collagen has a lower molecular weight, and therefore absorbs better. There are also synthetic sources produced from insects, rodents, yeast and plants, but valid data on the benefits of these remains scant. “Whether you choose marine- or bovine-based collagen peptides, you are consuming a functional supplement that will offer the same benefits— I generally recommend taking 10 to 20 grams of collagen per day, depending on your diet,” says Randazzo. “What’s important is choosing a product that aligns with your dietary preferences and is easy to establish as part of your daily wellness routine.”

02
That’s where collagen supplements come into play. In hopes of replacing what’s lost, we tweak our daily routines to include a scoop of powder in our morning smoothie or dessert-like gummies before bed. Most of these come in the form of collagen peptides or gelatin, which are more easily digestible forms of collagen created through a process called hydrolysis. “Our bodies cannot absorb collagen in its whole form, so it needs to be broken down, or ‘hydrolyzed,’ to penetrate the bloodstream and reach the targeted tissues,” says Dr. Allenby. (LeVeque says some studies show hydrolyzed collagen can reach the bloodstream within an hour.) However, scientific evidence proving the effectiveness of collagen supplements is “still not 100 percent,” notes Dr. Russak. “But, I do believe there are enough studies that exist to date that prove there is blood absorption after oral intake of collagen peptides and there are enough clinical benefits in improved skin, hair, nails and joint functions for us to recommend them to patients.” One 2018 study in particular showed improved skin elasticity and hydration in those supplementing with collagen peptides for 12 weeks when compared to placebo, says Randazzo.
2/26/20 7:18 PM

Not All Supplements Are Created Equal Just like any supplement, collagen boosters aren’t evaluated and regulated by the FDA, which makes it easier for some brands to make false or overhyped claims, or use low-quality ingredients. “Over-the-counter supplements often include other ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamins and minerals, thus it is important to look for the actual percentage of collagen in the supplement,” says Dr. Russak. LeVeque warns that many products contain excess sugar as well—especially gummies and flavored powders— so be sure to check the label. These six different formulations passed our quality test.
MULTIPURPOSE POWDER Sourced from South American grass-fed bovine hides, Further Food Collagen Peptides Powder packs 8 grams of hydrolyzed collagen peptides—and zero sugar—into every tasteless scoop that dissolves easily in both hot and cold liquids. $20, furtherfood.com
Youtheory Collagen’s winning combo of 6 grams of hydrolyzed collagen peptides and antioxidant powerhouse vitamin C allows for even better absorption. Plus, there’s no aftertaste, which we’ve experienced with some other collagen tablets. $11, amazon.com

28 There are 28 types of collagen identified in the body so far, and Types 1, 2 and 3 make up 90 percent of the body’s total reserve. Hence the reason why those types are most commonly listed on collagen supplement labels.
Consider Skinade your advanced multivitamin and low-molecular-weight collagen boost in one fruity drink that is scientifically proven to reach skin at a cellular level and boasts a whopping 90 to 95 percent absorption rate. $165 for 30-day supply, us.skinade.com

THE LIST
Total Package Only 9 percent of the world’s plastic has been recycled since 1950, and by 2050, the oceans are expected to have more of this eco-enemy than fish. These 50 brands are the best in the biz when it comes to sustainability efforts and minimizing waste. —Emily Taylor
02 ANDA Skincare has partnered with WeForest and promised to help plant 175 billion trees in India’s Khasi Hills by 2030 using a portion of the brand’s profits, and accepts additional donations at weforest.org. 03 Aveda was evidentially the first company to endorse the strict Valdez/Ceres principles of environmental sustainability, back in 1989. In 2007, the brand’s founder was awarded the Rachel Carson Award for Lifetime Commitment to Environmental Ethics and Integrity. All manufacturing processes use 100-percent wind power. 04 BABOR has come a long way since it first launched refillable jars in 1990. All operations are carbon-neutral, and water used to cool production machinery during the manufacturing process is recycled and reused and later purified to drinking quality. Partnerships with DHL and Atmosfair ensure longer transportation distances are carbon-neutral, and for shorter trips, an electric car is used. 05 Bathing Culture is on a mission to use #NoNewPlastic. Products are packaged in glass, aluminum, or 100-percent preexisting recycled plastic sourced in California, where the brand is based, to cut down on carbon emissions during transport. 06 The squalane in Biossance’s formulations comes from renewable and sustainably sourced sugarcane, the brand’s manufacturing processes use less water, and all inner and outer cartons are ready to recycle.
NB59_EcoList.indd 190
07 Started by an environmental advocate, Bite Toothpaste Bits are completely plastic-free—they’re literally chunks of solid toothpaste that only require a wet toothbrush for activation, and they come in a refillable glass jar. An innovative bamboo toothbrush allows users to replace just the brush head to reduce waste. 08 On Black Friday last year, By Humankind announced its commitment to carbon-neutral operations. Packaging is extremely minimal, and no single-use plastic is used at all. Plus, all products have a sustainable refill option. 09 All but two Captain Blankenship products have glass packaging— the bath sponge is natural and the Sea Mineral Liquid Soaps are made from 100-percent ocean-bound plastic to prevent any hazardous situations in a slippery shower. 10 Clean Beauty Collective has vowed to only work with green manufacturers: the label suppliers use waste paper and avoid bubble wrap; the perfumers’ facility consumes energy that is 80-percent solar-derived; and the facility for outer packaging is carbon-neutral. 11 Hair brand Cloud Nine accepts old hair tools from any brand and recycles them for free. In two years, it expects to have saved 1.5 million flat irons from landfills. It also uses 100-percent renewable materials in its packaging and has reduced box sizes by 30 percent. 12 A strict “no-plastic/optional packaging” policy is only the beginning at Cosmydor. Products are made from glass or aluminum and arrive in organic cotton bags, reusable boxes or recyclable cardboard. You can even email the brand to discuss innovative ideas for minimal wrapping at nopackaging@cosmydor.paris. 13 Not only is Italian hair brand Davines running a carbon-
neutral office and manufacturing operation in Parma, Italy, but its packaging is also 100-percent compensated. In Parma, its energy consumption uses bio-methane and geothermal energy. 14 By the end of last year, Dove began using PCR (post-consumer resin) plastic in bottles and hopes to discontinue the use of plastic entirely in its cult-classic beauty bar wrapping. Just these moves alone can reduce 20,500 tons of plastic in landfills. Currently, refillable deodorants are in testing. 15 Rainwater for manufacturing operations, geothermal energy use in the warehouse, and a push for carpooling and public transportation for employees are just some of Dr. Hauschka’s many sustainability efforts at its company headquarters. 16 Almost 75 percent of Elate Beauty’s packaging is zero-waste and the makeup brand has continuing efforts to increase that to 100. Because bamboo grows back quickly and requires little water, it’s favored for packaging, along with glass and aluminum. The true innovation is the seed paper packaging, which can be planted after it’s used. 17 Any Francophile knows ethique translates to “ethical” (plus or minus an accent mark of course). What might not be as known about the zero-waste brand is that 20 percent of its net profits go to planet-protecting organizations like the Orangutan Project. Additionally, each shampoo bar is plastic-free and minimally packaged, and reduces water waste. 18 Even the supplies at F. Miller studios are eco-friendly and often biodegradable, recyclable or fully PCW (post-consumer waste). Most manufacturing operations and partnering vendors are local to reduce carbon footprints, and vegetable-based ink, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paper and reusable glass are mainstays.
19 Renewable materials like soy are used to create ink for labels and paper for Farmacy’s outer packaging is all FSC-certified. The brand even partners with organic farms that specialize in sustainability measures to ensure that ingredients are harvested in an eco-friendly manner. 20 The carton that Floral Street’s full-size fragrances arrive in is made from pulp (made from FSC-certified natural fibers), so it’s fully biodegradable. Even a portion of the water used to make the pulp is recycled, and any waste pulp is composted at local farms. The outer paper sleeve is recyclable and chlorine-free. 21 The team at Honua lives by malama āina, a Hawaiian phrase that means “to care for the land.” The brand works with Hāloa ’Āina Reforestation Project, which has restored 3,000 acres of native Hawaiian dry land forest.

01 One of the pioneers of the zero-waste eye shadow palette, Āether Beauty offers several varieties without mirrors or magnets—two components that guarantee recyclable packaging still ends up in a landfill. Also, partial proceeds from sales go to 1% for the Planet.

22 Kevin.Murphy partnered with Al Gore’s The Climate Reality Project and has a salon rewards program to return used bottles, but our favorite eco-friendly innovation is the product packaging. Individual bottles are designed to be stacked to conserve space, meaning that a real-life game of Tetris can reduce transportation pollution. 23 The metal makeup compacts from Kjaer Weis are so beautiful, we can’t imagine ever throwing them out. Luckily for us, the innovative refill system ensures everything from the brand’s foundation to the mascara is given a new life when users hit pan. 24 Scan the QR code on the bottom of select Kinship products to see when and where the plastic used in the packaging was first found (hint: it’s ocean-waste plastic, or OWP). According to the brand, 1.5 tons of OWP has been saved since its debut last year. 25 L’Occitane announced last year that it’s ahead of schedule in its plan to transition to fully renewable plastic with help from Loop. A TerraCycle partnership for customers to recycle honors L’Occitane’s decision in 1976 to start a glass bottle return system. 26 Water-free brand Loli uses upcycled ingredients from food to redirect some of the 52 millions tons of food scraps that end up in landfills each year. Glass jars, compostable bags and recyclable boxes are just some of the packaging offerings. 27 Love Beauty and Planet partners with Loop (a no-waste delivery system) to refill products, and
part of its proceeds go to likeminded planet supporters. It also reduced its carbon footprint by 20 percent in January, and boasts “fast-rinse technology” to encourage less water use. 28 Package-free products make up a whopping 50 percent of the offerings at LUSH, with the rest wrapped in 100-percent PCR plastic or aluminum. 29 A competition among students from the Parsons School of Design led to new potential sustainability efforts, including zero-waste and biodegradable packaging for Moroccanoil. In the meantime, body soap is now wrapped in 100-percent PCR paper instead of plastic and color-depositing masks are made from 50-percent PCR plastic.
36 Since Earth Day 2018, Osmia Organics has planted one tree for every order placed on its website. Choose from products housed in chlorine-free paper, glass or recyclable and FSCcertified paper boxes. Ink is soy-based, and most pumps are Ecocert-approved and recyclable. 37 Philip Kingsley’s recyclable sugarcane bioplastic in packaging and carbon-negative processes speak for themselves. About 95 percent of the outer cardboard packaging has been eliminated and the remaining 5 percent is FSC-certified stock.
30 In 2015, Natura Brasil won the United Nations’ coveted Champions of the Earth prize for Entrepreneural Vision, and last year, Corporate Knights Magazine listed it as the 15th most sustainable corporation in the world; UNO awarded the brand a United Nations Global Climate Action Award for its carbon-neutral program.
38 Every fragrance purchased from Phlur lives in a bottle made from 20-percent recycled glass, features vegetable-based paint and comes in an FSC-certified box made with PCR cardboard. Phlur is a member of 1% for the Planet and the American Sustainable Business Council, and meets B Lab’s environmental, ethical, transparency guidelines.
31 In-store refill opportunities, water recycling and renewable energy in factories, a promise to use only 100-percent recycled materials by 2025, and a commitment to send zero non-hazardous waste to landfills from two key sites this year prove that Neal’s Yard Remedies means serious eco-friendly business.
39 Rahua only uses aged, fallen trees to create its Palo Santo Oil, and focuses on planting brand-new seedlings to offset operations. And to address existing pollution, Rahua created The Pink Flamingo Project to clean up the Galapagos habitats of endangered species.
32 No virgin forest materials are used in Nécessaire’s paper—materials are harvested from older, more mature trees. All paper used is 100-percent recyclable, and the brand only partners with FSCcertified vendors. 33 Noble Panacea’s sustainable efforts include a closed-loop production process to minimize waste, minimal packaging with biodegradable starch-based boxes, and a partnership with TerraCycle to encourage recycling. 34 Each purchase from the Organic Skin Co. results in one tree planted, thanks to a partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects, which aims to plant 100 million of them every single year. Refillable makeup palettes allow for continued use and have options for eye shadow, lip gloss, highlighter and concealer. 35 In addition to limiting plastic to less than 5 percent of overall packaging and using FSC-certified paper and water-based inks for lacquering, Orveda offers a zero-waste candle with multiple
NB59_EcoList.indd 191
layers of wax, rather than using a glass or metal exterior. The outer layer is both botanical and biodegradable, and made from compostable components.
40 According to Raw Elements, aluminum can be recycled infinite amounts of time—the same cannot be said of plastic or paper—so several products are offered in aluminum and labelonly packages without standard HDPE plastic liners. The brand is also a member of 1% for the Planet, an organization that donates that portion of annual sales to eco-friendly nonprofits. 41 REN Clean Skincare’s bottles are made from OWP, and the brand partners with the Surfrider Foundation to prevent plastic pollution, protect the ocean and provide clean water access around the globe. 42 Seed Phytonutrients uses recycled and recyclable materials, and created shower-friendly paper bottles made from 100-percent PCR paper. The brand also offers plant seeds in each paper bottle for a grow-your-own adventure. 43 Not all biodegradable materials are made equal: If a product takes too many months to break down, industrial composting facilities will send it straight
to a landfill. Simple Skincare Compostable Cleansing Wipes remove all traces of makeup and break down in just 42 days. 44 Tata Harper is known for its green glass bottles. Though the brand does use plastic for some components, it’s made from renewable resources like sugar cane. All paper is Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI)-approved, and the ink used is soy-based. 45 According to Terra Co, more than 1 billion plastic toothbrushes end up in American landfills every year. To remedy this, the brand offers a brush made from bamboo in compostable packaging. Other sustainable options from the brand include a biodegradable, dental floss in a carton box. 46 All brick-and-mortar stores of The Body Shop use renewable or carbon-balanced energy, and the brand has committed to reducing the energy requirement by 10 percent. Many products have sustainability components— one we love, the Drops of Youth Concentrate Sheet Mask, is made from biodegradable, renewable-sourced wood pulp. 47 An annual and public “Goodness Report” from Tom’s of Maine reveals its latest efforts and goals for this year, including becoming zero-waste, reducing its carbon footprint—the brand claims that the majority of emissions stem from consumer use of products— and funding sustainability efforts in classrooms. Uniquely recyclable toothpaste tubes are a huge plus. 48 The compostable silk floss from Treebird is housed in a glass jar that can be refilled time and time again. The bamboo brush is compostable—once the nylon bristles are plucked out and recycled—and can decompose in as little as six months. 49 UpCircle began in 2015: Two siblings wondered what happened to leftover coffee grounds after cafes used them for coffee. Now, the brand uses recycled fruit stones and chai spices to create skin-loving salves in 100-percent recyclable packaging. 50 Vapour uses 50-percent renewable energy to power its headquarters, manufacturing facilities, warehouse and research centers in the New Mexico desert, and by fall 2020, it’s pledged to up that percentage to 100. Almost the entire range of products is formulated without water, and only renewable or recyclable materials are used for packaging.

PROCESS
In the great big world of beauty where minimalistic packaging is favorited on Instagram and shorter ingredient lists are becoming common shopping criteria, we continue to be awestruck at the sheer volume of products hitting the market every single day. And if we find it overwhelming, we can only imagine how you feel. To this point, it’s no surprise the beauty question we hear most from family, friends, and you, our savvy readers, is, “Tell me, what actually works?” To find out, we combed through 9,990 products over six months in search of the formulas that solved our biggest beauty problems and lived up to their claims while making us look and feel like a million bucks. We sweat through hot yoga with a different waterproof mascara on each eye and a different deodorant on each armpit. We gave sheet masks the slip test during edit meetings and cleared our schedules to debate sunscreen textures and serum ingredients. We sprayed more dry shampoo and hairspray than should be allowed (and our scalps paid for it, but the scalp

This year, we’re introducing our first-ever Clean Beauty badge, developed with guidance from some of the brightest minds in the business. But, rather than creating one big “clean” category where the winners are chosen for being the best of the best in clean beauty specifically, we believe clean products should stand on their own and be judged against every other product in their respective categories. Therefore, you’ll see our
Clean Beauty badge sprinkled throughout the following pages, on every topical product that fits the bill, which means it’s free of the potentially harmful ingredients listed below. And because the research and science surrounding

We love a good cult-classic beauty product: the ones that continue to outperform others in their categories year after year despite some seriously stiff competition. This year, we’re honoring our favorite holy grails— products that have been on the market for more than five years—with the debut of our new Cult-Classic badge. Because, let’s face it, newness is great, but, sometimes, tried-andtrue can be even better.

“When it comes to my drinks of choice, my teeth take a bit of a beating. I may no longer be a coffee drinker—made the switch to tea years back—but even green tea leaves something behind on my pearly whites. I also cherish a nice glass of red wine at the end of a long day. But instead of treating stains after they happen with all sorts of strips, pens and gadgets, why not prevent them from happening in the first place? Enter this new breakthrough from Supersmile, which provides two key functions in two quick steps (without sensitivity!): Brush Step 1 onto teeth to instantly whiten— using key ingredient Calprox—and then Step 2 to lock it in. This creates a sealant protector on the enamel that lasts for hours, so you can actually apply it before sipping that stain-generating Bordeaux and avoid dreaded ‘wine mouth.’” $45, supersmile.com —Brittany Burhop Fallon, Beauty Director

EMTONE “A new skin-toning treatment, Emtone delivers radio-frequency and targeted pressure energy through the skin to treat all major contributing factors of cellulite. I treated the backs of my thighs and lower buttocks—basically everything below my bathing suit where I have some dimples (the nice way of saying cellulite) and ridges. During each of my four treatments, my skin did heat up a bit and was slightly red afterward, but returned to normal by the end of my car ride home. From what I know about other cellulite treatments, achieving noticeable results with little to no pain is almost unheard of. Although it takes three months to see the final outcome, I could see some smoothness on my butt and thighs after the first two sessions, like I put a blur filter on my skin.” bodybybtl.com —Tatiana Bido, Features Editor

“SiO Beauty founder Gigi Howard took all the facial tool trends and put them in one place with her cool (no pun intended) new skin-toning device. The idea is smart: Combine cold therapy and massage to tackle a multitude of skin issues like redness, pore size, radiance and, my personal favorite, puffiness, all while helping to ‘push’ products—the full system comes coupled with a serum— a bit deeper. Does it look like you got a facelift overnight? No, but it does successfully hide any evidence of a late-night sushi run in the morning.” $115 for tool; $135 for full system, siobeauty.com —Liz Ritter, Executive Editor
“I can confidently say I’ve tried every antiperspirant in the deodorant aisle, and I can say with even more certainty that none of them have really worked for me and my excessive sweating. Fed up with everything that promised dry underarms, I all but dismissed this new once-a-week sweat solution when it came across my desk—but in the name of investigative journalism, I took it home. Now, I’m a believer. Created for hyperhidrosis sufferers, but suitable for any heavy sweater, the thick, coaster-like pads are drenched with 15-percent aluminum chloride to cause the tissue around sweat glands to swell and block any wetness from reaching the surface of the skin. Now a permanent addition to my shopping list, one jar delivers 70 days of sweet, sweat-free freedom—a privilege I’d pay any amount for.” $20, amazon.com —Danielle Fontana, Digital Editor

FRANZ SKINCARE PREMIUM DUAL FACE MASK SYSTEM
AESTHETICS BIOMEDICAL S O ME SKINCARE “I’ve always tried to keep my routine minimal, so when I heard about SoME, a new product that takes the place of your serum, moisturizer and eye cream, I was immediately intrigued. The catch? The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood is the key ingredient and added to a proprietary bottle of serum. Each of the three bottles lasts a month if you apply it twice a day. It’s not FDA-approved, the price tag is steep, but it’s an interesting new way to use your body’s own power to transform your skin—mine is brighter, more even in tone and less puffy.” $900, aestheticsbiomedical.com —Emily Taylor, Editorial Assistant
JEUVEAU “I’m often met with the same eager, ‘But you’re so young!’ comment whenever it’s time for my twice-a-year wrinkle reducer. They’re right—26 is young, but that shouldn’t dictate whether or not I opt for a dose of preventive, furrow-freezing toxin in between my brows every now and again. The introduction of Jeuveau—the first cosmetic use–only neurotoxin competitor to hit the market in a decade—is a refreshing one: bright colors, youthful vibe, an open dialogue—everything that makes me feel like it is, in fact, OK to want something to move a little less. Even better, after a consultation with my board-certified dermatologist who agreed it would be the best treatment for me, while I realize results vary, I’m still loving what I see in the mirror a whopping five months later.” jeuveau.com —Danielle Fontana, Digital Editor

“When I first heard there was a microcurrent mask you don’t have to plug in, I thought how can it be? Traditional microcurrent treatments use low-voltage electricity to send soft, gentle waves of current that stimulate facial muscles, leading to toned and firm skin. The FRANZ mask looks like your normal sheet mask, but it’s actually two masks in one. First, you place a wet, serum-infused mask on your face, and then you place a second mask with a microcurrent charge on top of it. Next, you place a boosting essence on the ends of a microcurrent mask, which blends positive and negative ions from salt and fresh water, creating a cordless charge. The microcurrent top mask gives the active ingredients in the bottom mask an extra boost by sending currents through the mask and your skin. Whatever the science behind it, I’m sold on the instant glow it gave my skin and the lasting hydration effects.” $80 for three, peachandlily.com —Tatiana Bido, Features Editor
ALLEYOOP MULTI-TASKER 4-IN-1 MAKEUP BRUSH “Founder Leila Kashani created a think tank of 200 inspiring women and asked them all what their most-used beauty brushes were. Then, she completely obliterated the need for them with her Multi-Tasker, which boasts a trio of brushes—ones for blush, brow and eyeshadow pomade—and a sponge for concealer, effectively freeing up covetable space in our overflowing makeup bags and saving us time in the morning locating our beauty tools. I'll never admit to my chronic lateness, but I have been known to manage time less-than-effectively. This genius, all-in-one brush makes it so easy to get ready on-the-go.” $24, meetalleyoop.com —Emily Taylor, Editorial Assistant

KÉRASTASE K WATER “When you want shiny, healthy-looking hair, but don’t have the time for a cut, Kérastase K Water is the golden ticket. Currently available in 1,000 Kérastase salons across the country, the treatment is the brand’s first-ever to use Lamellar technology to resurface hair without any added weight or residue. After shampooing, my stylist applied the watery liquid from the roots down, massaged it in for a minute and then rinsed it out, skipping conditioner. When my hair was blown out and I saw it in the mirror, I was stunned. Not only was it next-level shiny—the kind you see in hair commercials that I’ve tried to achieve on my own with every product imaginable— but it also somehow made my dry, frazzled ends look like they were freshly chopped. I’m hooked!” Price varies depending on the salon, kerastase.com —Brittany Burhop Fallon, Beauty Director
