Much more refined than the press-on nails you bought at your local drugstore circa 1995, today’s version (some brands are calling them “pop-on” nails) comes in more shades, shapes and textures—think ombré, matte, chrome, holographic, marble, and even studded. A few other big pluses backing the trend: Jennifer Lopez is a huge fan; they’re considered much safer than acrylic nails, which can cause long-term damage; and they allow you to change up your manicure as often as you change your clothes.

You probably only visit the salon when your color needs refreshing or your split ends need chopping, but you might start going more often once you hear about the benefits of a “scalp facial.” Although the treatment isn’t new per se, it’s now being offered in more salons because the perks are robust and people are taking notice. Originally developed in Japan, scalp facials typically include four steps—clarifying, massage, conditioning and moisturizing—and help address issues such as itchiness, dandruff, dryness, oiliness and odor, as well as promote relaxation. The removal of buildup from the scalp can also help encourage hair growth, as it unclogs hair follicles where growth may have been stunted.
Silicone makeup sponges had the spotlight last year, but in 2018, it’s all about brushes. Not only are their rubber-like surfaces much easier to keep clean and free of bacteria compared to their counterparts made with natural and synthetic hair, but they also don’t waste as much product because liquid and cream formulas aren’t getting stuck between the bristles each time you apply them. The only downside we can see is that they don’t work for all types of makeup, so you’ll still have to buy regular brushes for your powder formulas.

Seeing gray hairs pop up for the first time can be unsettling, but when they begin to multiply and suddenly you’re trying everything imaginable to hide them, it can become infuriating. But what if you could delay that from happening? Turns out, a dietary deficiency in B vitamins may contribute to premature grays. According to a study published in the International Journal of Trichology, researchers discovered that those with lower levels of vitamin B12 and B7 (biotin) were more likely to develop gray hair at an earlier age. The study was small, so more research is needed to ensure consistent results, but nonetheless, it’s another reason to take your daily vitamins.

FAC I A L YO GA I S N ’ T J U ST A G I M M I C K According to a study conducted at Northwestern University in partnership with Gary Sikorski, creator of Happy Face Yoga, women ages 40 to 65 with mild-to-moderate sagging skin looked nearly three years younger after five months of performing facial yoga. The one-minute facial exercises were conducted every day for eight weeks, and then every other day for the following 12 weeks. At the conclusion of the five-month period, dermatologists compared before-and after photos of the participants with no knowledge of which order the photos were taken in. As a result, the researchers are now making the claim that facial yoga can “rejuvenate the aging face, presumably by inducing underlying muscle growth,” and it’s hard not to believe it.
The iconic ’80s staple is back in the beauty game as many brands are launching modern—and much more stylish—versions of the hair accessory we once loved. Fashion bigwigs like Balenciaga and Mansur Gavriel have debuted their visions for the trend with fun and sophisticated looks that give the puffy cotton hair tie of your childhood a seriously chic makeover. Think fresh patterns and textures that rival every scrunchie you’ve seen before.

T H E M O ST M O D E R N T Y P E O F V I TA M I N C Beloved by dermatologists, aestheticians and beauty gurus alike, vitamin C is a skin care staple in any regimen if the goal is brighter, younger-looking skin. Although we’re used to serums and creams, powders are the new formula on the scene, and it could be a better option. Vitamin C is more stable and less likely to degrade in powder form (you mix it into your other products) than other formulations because those products are typically made with water, which cause the antioxidant to break down. Expert tip: Do a patch test of the product before applying it to your entire face in case your skin is sensitive to it. These types of powders can be very concentrated, so your skin may become more irritated than it would with a preformulated vitamin C product.

Neutraceuticals—vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements and some foods with healthboosting, disease-preventing or general medicinal properties— are popping up everywhere. According to a report by Research and Markets, the global neutraceuticals market is growing rapidly and expected to be worth more than $285 billion by 2021. In the beauty space, these products—usually in the form of pills, powders and liquids—claim to do everything from treating hair loss to making skin look plumper. However, neutraceuticals lack the same stringent FDA regulation as conventional foods and pharmaceuticals, so it’s important to make sure you educate yourself on the ingredients in them and/or speak to your doctor before making them part of your daily routine.

AT- H O M E H A I R R E M OVA L D E V I C E S GET AN UPGRADE For decades, women have turned to hair removal methods like waxing and shaving to get rid of unwanted peach fuzz on their upper lips, cheeks and foreheads. However, newer practices employ the latest technology in compact, easy-to-use devices that effectively remove hair in the comfort of your own home without any pain or irritation, and positive reviews are spreading like wildfire. Plus, women are more product-savvy now than ever before, so they’re also educated on the additional benefits of facial hair removal, such as baby-soft skin and better makeup application, which make these products must-haves.

CRACKING THE CODE
The eyes have it,
and playing up your one-of-a-kind pair with the right shades for your eye color couldn’t be easier. The first step to transforming your gaze: a trip back to the classroom. “The secret to making your eyes pop lies in a tool you may remember from art class,” says celebrity makeup artist Michael Patterson. Enter: the color wheel.
“Basic color theory states that the colors located directly across from each other on the wheel (like blue and orange, for example) create a high contrast when placed next to each other, which makes them pop,” says Patterson.
“These are called complementary colors.”
Next comes the fun part: finding which colors— both on your lids and lips—pair best with your eyes to let them take center stage.

B R OW N You’re in luck. Because brown is a mix of all of the primary colors (you won’t actually find it on the color wheel), brown eyes are the most neutral and the easiest to enhance with makeup. ON THE EYES
ROYAL TREATMENT Celebrity makeup artist Aliana Lopez says jewel tones deliver a picture-perfect contrast against brown eyes, as seen here on Emily Ratajkowski. “You can’t go wrong using burnt oranges, emerald greens or sapphire blues as a light wash of color or the focal point in a bold smoky eye.”
SMOKE SHOW Gray and silver tones instantly brighten dark brown eyes and create the illusion that they’re larger and wide-awake. “Try mixing different shades of gray together and pressing them into your lash line and lids,” says celebrity makeup artist Katey Denno.
EYE-POPPING PURPLE
EXPERT TIP It may sound counterintuitive, but Lopez says those with brown eyes should stay away from
“Purple shades bring out the depth and dimension of brown eyes,” says celebrity makeup artist Courtney Hart. For fair skin tones, try lavender and mauve shades; deeper skin tones pair well with richer hues like plum and eggplant.
using black as a primary color.

“Try a simple navy liner on your upper lash line instead,” adds Hart. “It’s simple and sleek, but so striking.”

ON THE LIPS

IF YOUR EYES ARE
GREEN OR H A Z E L You should know they can slightly shift in color depending on what color makeup you’re wearing. ON THE EYES
BLUE CRUSH Blue and purple shadows with cool undertones will instantly make hazel eyes pop. Concentrate the color near your lash line for the most eye-catching effect. For a striking nighttime look, take a cue from Jenna Dewan Tatum (shown here) and apply the shadow around your entire eye.
FIRED UP Because red is green’s main complementary color, it can deliver out-of-this-world intensity against green eyes, but it can also look tacky if you’re not careful. Hart says to look for eye shadows with red undertones, like burgundy, copper and burnt reds, to put a spin on the classic smoky eye without going overboard.
GO FOR GOLD “There’s something about the golden warmth of bronze shades against green eyes that really makes them stand out,” says Hart. Neutral shades also intensify the green in your eyes and highlight the flecks of gold in one swipe.
COLOR CHAMELEON The same color-shifting rules apply on your pout: A swath of lipstick can intensify your eye color. Opt for a violet-red shade to create depth or a nude-coral hue for added vibrancy.
EXPERT TIP “If your eyes are irritated or have a tinge of yellow or red, use eye drops to help clarify them,” says Lopez. “Brighter
whites will emphasize the secondary colors in your eyes
and make your shadows look even better.”

BLUE Less is more. “Blue-eyed beauties can really hold their own when it comes to ‘no-makeup makeup,’” says Lopez, explaining that even the smallest amount of eye shadow will go a long way in emphasizing this eye color. ON THE EYES
NAKED NEUTRALS As showcased here on Margot Robbie, Hart says taupe, medium-brown and beige shadows create a soft look that won’t overpower blue eyes and allows them to shine. Lopez says, “The contrast of a warm colors against a cool blue tone is the perfect match.” For a brighter daytime look, reach for peach and coral shades.
SEEING RED Because orange and red are opposite of blue on the color wheel, the orange tones in copper, gold and rust let blue eyes stand out.
PRECIOUS METALS Whether out on the town or at your desk, metallics are always a “go” for blue eyes. Bronze shades make them look more vivid, rose gold adds a subtle sheen and gray adds clarity.
EXPERT TIP To make the biggest impact on blue eyes, Lopez suggests using a dark brown or black eyeliner to trace your
waterline.“You can also never go wrong with a black, winged eyeliner.”

LOUD MOUTH There are varied opinions when it comes to which lipsticks look best paired with blue eyes, but one thing is for sure: the bolder the better. “I love a ruby-red lipstick with blue eyes,” Lopez says, adding that pairing primary colors together will always make you look put-together in a pinch. Another solid option: a bright, red-orange lip, which Patterson says is a surefire combination that keeps the focus on your baby blues. B E A U T Y R E P O R T / newbeauty / 1 9

WHILE THE END GOAL OF BEING HEALTHIER AND MORE CONSCIENTIOUS IS ALWAYS A GOOD ONE, THE “CLEAN” MOVEMENT ALSO BRINGS ABOUT A TON OF CONFUSION, ESPECIALLY IN THE WORLD OF BEAUTY. When it comes to skin care, we’re almost programmed to think the more burning, redness and peeling a product provides, the more it’s working. It may be set opinion, but one that aesthetician Tammy Fender says is “outdated.” “Natural, pure ingredients can be effective ingredients. You can heal, nourish, balance and improve skin through flowers, plants and food-grade ingredients. If you think botanicals aren’t powerful, you are missing out.”
DINA BELENKO PHOTOGRAPHY/GETTY IMAGES
Annie Jackson, COO at Credo—“clean beauty” stores that carry the Tammy Fender line, in addition to a number of brands—says that while it’s not exactly news that interest in natural products has grown over the past few years, there has been a more recent shift in beauty-obsessed shoppers who come in “seeking brands and products that have an overall holistic, healing position.” She’s also the first to admit that the buzzwords surrounding the clean movement can be confusing, and taking that first step to swap isn’t so easy. Here’s what to know before diving in.

THE NEW ACTIVES
The Next in Eco-Chic Ingredients Annie Tevelin, founder of indie brand SkinOwl, says one of the biggest misunderstandings surrounding natural ingredients is that they aren’t “equal to their non-natural counterparts,” which she thinks couldn’t be further from the truth. “What’s cool about many of the big ingredients coming out right now is that there are plant-derived and bio-identical options, and yes, they’re considered actives, and yes, they work just as well,” she adds. Below, some of the trending ones experts think offer big-time benefits:
WHAT THEY ARE VEGETABLE-BASED HYDRATORS
PLANT OILS
ALL-STAR ANTIOXIDANTS + ESSENTIAL OILS
ALGAE
ANCIENT OILS
BIO-FERMENTATION
Various skin concerns
Cleaner manufacturing
Nyakio Kamoche Grieco, founder and formulator of beauty line Nyakio, which entered Ulta Beauty last year, predicts more “throwback” oils getting in on the trend. “I think we’ll see more oils that have stood the test of time for centuries, as witnessed by the beautiful skin of the women who’ve traditionally embraced these natural ingredients in regions of Peru, China, India and Africa.”
In what’s more of a nod to the environment, according to Cornell, bio-fermentation is coming on very strong. “This natural biologic manufacturing technique allows customized actives to be made in an eco-friendly way. No more smokestacks belching fire and brimstone; now it’s stainless steel kettles slowly percolating away, generating fewer toxic by-products and providing green phytochemical actives.”
WHAT THEY HELP WITH Dry skin, aging concerns Hydration is always big, and in Tevelin’s opinion, it’s probably the next “untapped” frontier for formulators who want to make use of natural options. “Hyaluronic acid can now be derived from radishes. Much like the animal-derived version, it strongly binds to water and fills in wrinkles and fine lines, making it a no-brainer to hunt for the vegan alternative.”
Acne With regards to breakouts, Tevelin says pure plant oils, such as argan oil and marula oil, can do wonders for acne, as counterintuitive as putting oil on acneic skin might seem. “The days of stripping skin with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are over—healing and calming the skin is paramount when combatting acne.” Fender also adds that plant oils as an ingredient in any type of product, not just facial oils, have the ability to “rebalance and soothe” skin.
BR3_WELL_Natural_Debate_0108_mp.indd 22
Fighting free radicals + offering syntheticfree fragrance “There are some pretty amazing antioxidants coming out at the moment,” Tevelin says. “Similarly, the use of essential oils taking the place of synthetic fragrances is remarkable. Getting a headache because of your perfume or product’s fragrance will soon be a thing of the past. I’m also seeing a big push for plant and fruit waters in skin care—banana milk and cactus water to name a few. It’s very exciting!”
Aging concerns According to Marc Cornell, vice president of innovation at Englewood Lab in Englewood, NJ, when looking for anti-aging options, you should consider algae. “One new type of red macro algae helps maintain the hydration state of the skin all day long and regulates skin’s homeostasis. Another new strain of bluegreen micro algae is sustainably harvested and purified. This cosmetic active is loaded with essential fatty acids, amino acids and antioxidants.”

THE DOCS DISH DO YOU REALLY NEED TO GO NATURAL?
“Several natural ingredients can be effective when used properly,” says New York dermatologist Sejal K. Shah, MD. “Of course people often assume natural ingredients are without adverse effects, but that’s not true. You can have negative skin reactions to natural ingredients, even as severe as burns, so they should always be used with caution.”

IT’S A MIX Every doctor we interviewed for this story agreed that, while the interest in natural ingredients is definitely huge right now, how to actually prescribe them for skin care benefits is not always so straightforward.
“In dermatology, there are many important skin care ingredients that are not necessarily ‘natural,’ but are usually derived from natural sources,” explains Studio City, CA dermatologist Gene Rubinstein, MD. “It’s a choice, but it’s more about getting guidance on which ingredients to look for and what’s actually going to work in your products.”
THEY DON’T HIT THE MARK
“I think the technology is actually going full tilt into nanotechnology, peptide technology, stem cells, growth factors, heparin sulfate analogs, delayed-release retinols, and other areas,” says Los Gatos, CA dermatologist Steven L. Swengel, MD. “I tell my patients that if they are looking for rapid, predictable results, they need to embrace technology, NOT focus on all-natural.”

THERE’S A DARK SIDE
“Skin sensitivity problems can be escalated by the use of natural skin care products,” says Las Vegas plastic surgeon Mary Herte, MD. “Botanicals can cause allergic responses, and there’s an unreliable level of activity of the active ingredients. ‘Chemical’ skin care products are more uniform, have accurate, reproducible formulas, contain the readily available form of the ingredient, and do not include the parts of plants that may cause reactivity.”

Q: What’s your best beauty hack for traveling? A: People tend to waste unnecessary space in their makeup bags by packing full-size products. Instead, put your eye cream, foundation, moisturizer, and any other liquids you need, into contact lens cases. I promise you’ll have enough product to last you two weeks. The tiny tubs store way more than you think!

Q: Does using too many masks damage your skin? A: I’m currently doing a 365 Masks Challenge where I test one mask a day for a year, so I get this question a lot. I always say that if you know the active ingredients in the mask, you’ll be fine. Start with hydrating masks and move toward brightening and lifting ones. I recommend also applying one clarifying mask per week and adding in under-eye and lip masks when you need them.

A: Master a few of the most popular types of braids (the French braid, fishtail and Dutch braid) and make sure they start out tight. Then, give the braid volume by gently pulling both sides apart to create a looser, tousled look. For extra volume and length, I add clip-in extensions to my hair.

Q: How do you get your curls to hold? A: Instead of using a curling iron, I actually use a straightening iron to curl my hair. For me, it’s an easy way to smooth out my hair, while also styling it. I also find that curls have more staying power when they’re done this way. Once you get the hang of it, it’s super simple and you’ll never go back.

@publyss
A: I used to fill in my brows using a very dark pencil, which didn’t look very natural, but I recently made the switch to using a much lighter pencil, and it was life-changing! Now my brows look very full, but not “overdone!”
Q: How do you keep your skin clear and healthy? A: The biggest thing I can recommend is to hold a seasonal routine. Similar to vitamins, skin care products do not magically work in one day and you should give them a shot for at least two weeks. If you live somewhere with all four seasons, your routine should be updated as the months change, which will dramatically help your skin. You can also incorporate facials into your routine for an extra glow.

A: As a commercial model and actress, I’ve had a lot of trial and error; however, I think the secret lies in a healthy routine! A great teeth whitener helps me feel super confident, and overall wellness is important, too. I try to eat healthy and sweat in the gym or at a yoga class to maintain a great glow.

Q: How do you protect your hair from breakage? A: Lack of moisture can be a big cause of breakage and split ends, so I use hydrating oils and masks regularly. I’ve also traded in my regular towels for microfiber ones because hair is most vulnerable when it’s wet and microfiber is gentler. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase instead of a cotton one is easier on your hair as well.

influencers. Q: How do you keep your skin so smooth and glowy? A: Using a great moisturizer is crucial, but other products are just as important. I use cleansers that don’t strip my skin, and I alternate between physical exfoliants (scrubs) and chemical exfoliants (acids), which I usually apply at night.

INAE A @chinaea LEXANDER lexander
Q: How do you combat your melasma?
A: I like to get touch-ups every season to keep my color fresh. I get highlights on the face-framing pieces and an ombré effect on the rest. My hair is naturally straight, but I love to style it curly because it makes the highlighted pieces stand out!
A: Melasma is an extremely common skin condition primarily seen in young women. It is patchy, brownish hyperpigmentation of the face, most commonly affecting the forehead, cheeks, nose and upper lip. Tired of my faux ’stache, my solution has been to wear a zinc mustache whenever I’m at the pool or beach.
Q: How do you maintain such youthful-looking skin? A: I take this question as a huge compliment because I did a lot of damage to my skin when I was younger and obsessed with tanning—I’ve spent most of my adult life making up for it. These days, I don’t go in the sun without SPF 50 all over. I’m also a huge believer in the power of hyaluronic acid, so I use lots of serums and creams with it, and that’s made a big difference.

One of my favorite things to do is wear a hydrating mask on the plane, especially if it’s a long flight! SPF is essential on any trip, too, because the number-one cause of aging is harmful UV rays.

Be 8 Ways You Could Ruining Your Skin’s Health Without Realizing It

skin care. You slather your skin in creams, douse it with serums and even go out of your way to protect it from the sun. But despite your best efforts, what you may or may not be doing to take care of your skin could actually be working against you. To know what is really wreaking havoc on your skin, take cues from what the experts say—their answers may shock you.
Eating too much sugar Washing with the wrong cleanser
Popping your pimples the wrong way
O1
Why it’s harmful: Believe it or not, one thing you should never wash your face (or body) with is soap. Washing with a true soap, as opposed to a cleanser made specifically for the skin, can strip it of its natural oils and throw off its pH, leaving it tight and dry. “Plus, soap never rinses clean off of the skin, so it suffocates it,” says celebrity aesthetician Susan Ciminelli. “There is a myriad of cleansers available, and many have specific uses. Some, like those for acne, are highly exfoliating and contain antibacterials that can be harmful if your skin is not prone to acne,” explains Paradise Valley, AZ dermatologist Susan Van Dyke, MD. On the flip side, cleansers with rich formulations can be too much for some skin types and end up clogging pores. Damage control: First, have an
expert assess your skin to help you determine which type of cleanser (and the ingredients it should contain) you should be using.
NBBR3_WELL_SkinCare_SabotageSkin_0111_mk.indd 29
O2
Why it’s harmful: We know the feeling of having a monster-size zit staring back at you in the mirror and resisting the urge to pop it. But if you’re not extracting the contents of a pimple properly, you can actually do more harm than good. Not only are you spreading bacteria to clean and healthy pores by improperly popping, but you’re also upping the risk of hyperpigmentation by damaging the surface of your skin.
O3
Why it’s harmful: It’s common knowledge that sugar does nothing good for your body. But what it does to your skin is just as destructive. When sugar is consumed (this is more so the case with white and processed sugars, as opposed to natural sugars found in fruits), a chain reaction occurs that results in inflammation, a breakdown of healthy collagen and even sagging skin. “Too much sugar damages the cells and causes premature aging,” says New York facial plastic surgeon Jennifer Levine, MD. “While it’s unclear as to how much consumption is necessary to lead to skin damage, we know refined sugars are more harmful than other carbohydrates, as they tend to have a greater effect on insulin levels.” Damage control: Cutting the sweet
Damage control: If you can get to
a professional to extract the blemish, that’s always your best bet. But if that isn’t possible, use a drying lotion or spot treatment for a few days to calm the breakout—anything with salicylic acid and calamine will work best.
stuff out of your diet entirely is the best way to limit sugar-induced aging, but breaking the habit may be difficult. Try cutting down on the amount of sugar you eat (the FDA recommends that no more than 10 percent of your daily calories come from added sugars) and opt for an effective anti-glycation skin-care product that’s rich in antioxidants, which will protect your skin.
Being exposed to secondhand smoke
O4
Why it’s harmful: Smoke and the act of smoking are beyond detrimental to your skin. Not only is smoke filled with harmful chemicals like nicotine, tar, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, but it also ruins collagen levels internally. “Secondhand smoke affects the skin greatly because collagen-destroying enzymes (MMPs) ramp up when exposed to it, causing increased wrinkling and visible aging,” says celebrity aesthetician Renée Rouleau. Damage control: The best way
to save your skin from the effects of smoke is avoiding it altogether, but the second best thing you can do is load up on antioxidants (vitamins A, C and E, as well as substances like beta-carotene and lycopene), which can form a barrier of sorts on your skin to reduce the amount of free-radical damage.

skin care.
Regularly skipping sunscreen Overexfoliating your skin
O6 Never washing your makeup brushes
O5
Why it’s harmful: Makeup brushes are a breeding ground for bacteria that lingers if it’s not removed. “They pick up the dirt, oil and bacteria that are constantly residing on your skin,” explains Dr. Van Dyke. “When your brush is soiled with dirt and oil, your makeup won’t go on as well and any powders you use will clump.” Besides delivering poorly performing makeup onto your skin, dirty brushes can also be the culprit behind breakouts, clogged pores and blackheads.
Damage control: This is a simple problem to prevent and the solution is even easier—just wash your brushes! Cleanse the face brushes you use for foundation, concealer and blush at least a few times a week to limit breakouts. As far as eye makeup brushes go, you don’t have to wash them as frequently because there is less oil produced on your eyelids than your face. But, these dirty brushes can also cause issues like milia to form on and around your eyelids.
Why it’s harmful: Failure to wear the right SPF every day— even if it’s cloudy or raining, or in the dead of winter—can destroy your skin without you even knowing it. “Not wearing the right SPF can accelerate signs of aging and increase your risk of skin cancer,” says Dr. Levine. There are two types of rays: UVA (the ones that cause aging) and UVB (they lead to burns). “You want a sunblock that contains ingredients that block against both (look for ‘broad-spectrum’ on the label),” explains Dr. Levine. “I also recommend that your sunblock contains both chemical and physical blocks—especially the one for your face.” Make sure it’s an SPF of at least 30, and higher if you spend a lot of time outside. Damage control: No matter
the weather, you have to apply SPF daily—no ifs, ands or buts about it. “As long as there is light coming from the sun, there are UV rays too,” says Dr. Van Dyke. By getting in the habit of using SPF 30 or more every day, two things are accomplished: a lifelong habit with benefits that slowly accumulate over decades, and a reduced risk that you will be caught unprotected from the sun. “Remember the two-hour rule: If you are outside, reapply every two hours. If you are inside, always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before you head outdoors,” adds Dr. Van Dyke.
O8
Not cleansing your face after using eye makeup remover
O7
Why it’s harmful: This secret skin-destroyer is one you’ve probably never thought about because you assumed makeup removers leave skin fresh and clean. But, herein lies the truth: Many makeup removers contain oils that leave behind a residue, which can damage skin. “The oils in makeup removers are great for removing waterproof makeup and mascaras, but if left on your skin, they can irritate your eye area by clogging the pores and delicate eye structures,” says Dr. Levine.
Damage control: Once you’ve taken off all of your makeup, wash your face one last time with a good cleanser. “It’s important to cleanse your face after using a makeup remover to help remove any of the residual product that may be on your skin,” explains Dr. Van Dyke.
Why it’s harmful: There’s no denying that regularly exfoliating your skin provides a host of benefits—think blackhead prevention, even texture and less-visible dark spots. However, if you’re using a product that’s too abrasive for your skin or loading up on too many exfoliating agents at once, especially following a laser, microdermabrasion or a chemical peel, you can end up with skin that’s red, irritated and supersensitive. “I’ve noticed this trend when using skin-care products: if it’s not burning or stinging, it’s not working. And more is better!” says Rouleau. “People are doing too many aggressive exfoliating treatments and actually injuring their skin.”
Damage control: “Exfoliating with abrasives is risky because you can cause microabrasions in your skin from applying too much force when using them,” explains Dr. Van Dyke, who recommends exfoliating with a fruit acid, like glycolic acid. “It gently loosens the dead cells by reducing their ‘stickiness.’ The goal of exfoliation is to remove dead cells, not disrupt the living cells.” If your skin has been overexfoliated and you need to get it back on track, stop using anything with an exfoliating agent and repair any damage with a light moisturizer.

pillow talk
NBBR3_WELL_SkinCare_SabotageSkin_0111_mk.indd 31
Could the cause of your breakouts be from something you would never have pegged as the culprit, like your pillowcase? The majority of us change our pillowcases about once a week, but that’s not frequent enough. “We perspire at night and release bacteria in the process,” explains Ciminelli. “Not changing your pillowcase often enough can cause breakouts. Ideally, you should be changing your pillowcase a few times a week.” Try sleeping with a pillowcase infused with silver ions (these create a natural antimicrobial effect within the fabric) to reduce bacteria while you snooze.

bottled. PERCENTAGE POWER
“It’s not marketing hype; it’s a real thing. Percentages dictate how active or not active a product can be.”
The Lowdown on Labels
Because ingredient statements are ordered starting with the highest concentration to the lowest, it seems like it should be something rather easy to decipher. But then there is the whole prescription-versus-overthe-counter scenario, and if that wasn’t confusing enough, that is further broken down into the two groups of active and inactive ingredients. “It can be difficult to discern the actual concentration of ingredients, as there are no requirements to include exact percentages—the exception being active ingredients for cosmetics that are also actually over-the-counter drug products [things like sunscreen and retinol, for example],” cosmetic chemist Kelly Dobos explains. The most simplified solution to find what you want: Look for products that have the active ingredients—the ones that can improve your skin—at the top of the ingredient list.
label How Product Strengths Really Work
BR3_WELL_Ingredient_Formulations_0116b_mp.indd 33
Simply put, percentages are listed to explain the amount of active ingredients in a particular product. “It’s not marketing hype; it’s a real thing. Percentages dictate how active or not active a product can be,” explains Hollywood, FL dermatologist Gary Goldfaden, MD. “For example, a vitamin C serum can have 12-percent vitamin C or a more aggressive serum may contain 17 percent. Not all customers can tolerate high percentages of aggressive ingredients, so there are choices in the marketplace.” Dobos points out that a brand doesn’t necessarily have to list the percentage, but chances are, if a product really does have a higher level of actives, they will most likely want to promote it. “The best example is probably hydroquinone,” says Prospect, KY dermatologist Tami Buss Cassis, MD. “Over-the-counter hydroquinone is only 2 percent, but prescription-strength is 4 percent. For people who are really working on brown spots, I recommend not wasting the money on the 2 percent and to go for the prescription-strength.”
2/16/18 11:09 AM
Still confused? These four tips can help you decipher a label and decode what is working for you.
01
Know your ingredients.
02
Ingredient lists should be somewhat short.
Doing some homework can help make sure you are using products to treat whatever skin concerns you have. “Understand which ingredients have which properties,” says celebrity aesthetician Dangene, who adds that there are easily understandable lists online. “Likewise, knowing the difference between an active and a filler will make you much more knowledgeable about what you are buying.”
If you are looking at a long list, chances are you are looking at fillers and ingredients that won’t do much to improve your skin. “A good rule of thumb is to stay clear of artificial fragrances, colors, mineral oil, alcohols and sulfates,” says Dr. Goldfaden.
4 WAYS
03
TO
Certain ingredients do certain things, and they do them rather quickly. Retinol, for example, will most likely make your skin red at first, but if you aren’t seeing its anti-aging benefits—smaller pores and more radiant skin—pretty soon after that, something probably isn’t working for you. Of course, everyone’s skin is different, but most experts agree that an ingredient like benzoyl peroxide will really only take two to three weeks to see results; if you don’t see them, it’s probably time to try something else (or something stronger).

The product has to contain
the ingredient that works for the purpose you are trying to achieve (anti-aging, for example). “If they don’t, forget it,” says Dr. Cassis.
01 STORE YOUR PRODUCTS PROPERLY “A tray of products in your bathroom or bedroom can look nice, but it’s not always so great for what’s inside the bottle,” says celebrity aesthetician Renée Rouleau. “Antioxidants and plant extracts, in particular, do better when they aren’t exposed to direct sunlight, so I recommend putting all of your skin care in a cool, dark place.”

bottled. Test-Run Rules
What makes
A N ACT I V E A N ACT I V E
No matter what kind of product you are using or what the percentage of the active ingredient is, Rouleau recommends always doing a patch test, especially if you are using stronger ingredients or have sensitive skin. “Apply the product to a small corner of your face and wait 24 hours. If you have a negative reaction, it’s not a good product for you.”
According to Rouleau, the FDA approves active ingredients for an exact function.
“It can get a little confusing, but if a product has an active ingredient, it has to say so on the packaging,” she says. Dr. Goldfaden adds, “You can look at active ingredients as being in the product to deliver a result. The inactive ingredients exist to help deliver the active ingredients, and they also help to stabilize the product and deliver hydration, fragrance and color. For example, in a moisturizer, retinol could be the active ingredient and emulsified wax, or even glycerin, could be the inactive.”
Active Makes the product work; what makes the claims come true. “With regard to over-the-
counter products, active ingredients have pharmacological activity, treat or prevent disease, or affect the structure of the skin, and these ingredients have substantiated results based on efficacy testing standards or historical data,” Dobos says. Ones to look for: Sunscreen, retinol/vitamin A, benzoyl peroxide, and hydroquinone (and look for them further up on the ingredient list)
Inactive The fillers and emollients that hold the active
ingredients together; the delivery system of the actual product. Ones to look for: Fragrances, coloring agents, waxes, petroleum, and glycerin (common ones, but not limited to)
02 APPLY TO DAMP SKIN According to Dangene, skin care is always more effective if your face is steamy-damp when you apply product, as it helps drive it deeper into the skin. Rouleau adds, “Your skin is 10 times more permeable when it’s damp.”
03 EXFOLIATE Dead skin cells can really stand in the way of how well ingredients are able to penetrate your skin. “Exfoliation will always allow other skin care products, whether it’s a serum, treatment, moisturizer or pretty much anything, to be absorbed more thoroughly,” Dr. Goldfaden says.
BR3_WELL_Ingredient_Formulations_0116b_mp.indd 35
04 T WEAK, DON’T TOSS
05 TRY A TREATMENT
06 USE RETINOIDS REGUL ARLY
When you start to feel your routine isn’t giving you the glow you need, Dr. Cassis says it may be time to make some modifications, but don’t go overboard. “You don’t need to toss everything out; just switch out one or two products and see what happens.”
Most doctors will agree it’s a good idea to get an in-office chemical peel and/or a laser treatment to help with brown spots and wrinkles and really leave skin looking its best.
“Having various strengths of a retinoid is important,” says Dr. Cassis. “When the weather is cold and dry, decrease the strength; when it is warm and humid, increase the strength. So many people stop using retinoids in the summer because they are in the sun more—that is a huge mistake.”
2/16/18 10:20 AM
THE ACID ANTIDOTE
Acids can be the key to getting better-looking skin, fast. But, finding one that’s compatible with your skin is the secret to good results. If yours is sun-damaged and rough, opt for glycolic acid to encourage new cell turnover. To curb signs of aging, try retinoic acid. For plumping, turn to hyaluronic acid, and to stop breakouts in their tracks, look no further than salicylic acid to break up what’s been clogging your pores.

THE FUTURE OF SKIN CARE
A new technology recently purchased by Shiseido has the potential to change everything we know about anti-aging. Known now only as a second-skin technology, which is described as “a breathable, flexible and nearly invisible artificial skin” according to the company, the material was created to mimic youthful skin. When rubbed onto the skin, it dries as a clear film that instantly conceals any wrinkles and lifts any sagging. Translation: Any product that contains this technology will help turn back the clock in seconds.

D. STOCKTON MD MICRONIZED BPO GEL CLEANSER 5%
Acne can be incredibly difficult to treat for many people, and the main ingredients in acne products, particularly salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, can aggravate skin. This gel-cream cleanser solves that problem. It features micronized BPO, the world’s first nonirritating form of benzoyl peroxide, so it can effectively fight bacteria that contributes to stubborn acne breakouts without upsetting your skin.
01 Why the company created it:
what the editors say
It is important that patients have a cheaper, OTC, nonirritating and effective alternative to topical antibiotics for treating acne.
“Some acne cleansers can be too harsh on the skin, but this one gets rid of all the dirt lingering inside your pores without causing any irritation.”
02 What it is: A daily cleanser formulated with 5 percent benzoyl peroxide to treat acne and prevent new blemishes from forming.
STAR INGREDIENT
micronized BPO
03 How to use it: Apply over wet face and work into lather. Rinse with water and pat dry. Can be used twice daily or as directed by a physician. If going outside, use sunscreen.

SUNSCREEN STANDARD
CHRIS STEIN/GETTY IMAGES
If you aren’t so diligent about applying—or reapplying—sunscreen, consider this: The Skin Cancer Foundation advises you to apply 2 tablespoons (about the size of a golf ball or a 1-ounce shot glass) of sunscreen to exposed areas of your face and body, which equates to a nickel-size dollop on your face alone. So, if your sunscreen bottle is 8 ounces, it should only last you about eight full days of sun exposure.

WHAT IS YOUR BEAUTY MANTRA?
“When looking for guests for my radio show at a trade show in New York, I met a doctor who introduced me to a product that promoted longer, thicker, darker lashes. After I tried it, I was amazed. I decided to try marketing it myself. After acquiring, developing and producing the product, I promoted it on the radio and was completely unsuccessful. So I decided to try a new approach and purchased a small booth with a banner at a local trade show and sold it to salons and spas. In one weekend, we sold out and I quadrupled my investment. I knew I had a winner!”
“Think glam, think fun! Bigger is always better!”

JAN MARINI SKIN RESEARCH MARINI LUMINATE FACE LOTION
Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common signs of aging that shows up in the form of dark spots, patchiness and uneven skin tone, and primarily results from years of sun damage. This highly concentrated, nonhydroquinone formula employs retinol and alpha-arbutin to help reduce the look of such discoloration, as well as fine lines and wrinkles, to help your skin reclaim its youthful radiance.
01 Why the company created it:
what the editors say
Hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles affect nearly everyone, but the concern over the prolonged use of hydroquinone has left consumers and medical professionals actively seeking effective, nonhydroquinone solutions like this one.
“The lightweight formula sinks right into skin and doesn’t disrupt your makeup application, all while delivering look-at-me results.”
BEFORE
02 What it is: A dynamic nonhydroquinone-based lotion with concentrated retinol that lightens the look of discoloration while simultaneously reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
This woman was concerned with the hyperpigmentation present on her skin.
03 How to use it:
Apply sparingly over your entire face every other evening for the first one to two weeks. Then, slowly increase usage (as tolerated) to once or twice daily. If irritation occurs, decrease the frequency of application to allow your skin more time to acclimate.
AFTER After using Luminate for two months, as well as the Jan Marini Skin Care Management System, she noticed drastic results.

JAN MARINI
FOUNDER & CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, JAN MARINI SKIN RESEARCH
HOW DID THE IDEA FOR YOUR BRAND COME TO BE? “I’ve been a product researcher for more than 40 years. Back in the 1980s, I was an early glycolic acid pioneer. That was the impetus to found my first skin care company, M.D. Formulations/ M.D. Forte. When that company was sold to Allergan in 1994, I founded Jan Marini Skin Research.”
WHAT IS THE BEST BEAUTY ADVICE YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED? “Wear sunscreen! The time of year and the weather don’t matter—wear sunscreen. It is not just a beauty issue, it’s a health issue.”
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE BEAUTY SPLURGE? “I’m a sucker for expensive mascara, in which the ads claim to make you look like you’re wearing falsies. Next to that, I like IPL treatments and a great body massage.”
BR3-Expert_JanMarini.indd 59
WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE ANTI-AGING SECRET? “One word: resurfacing. With the right combination of resurfacing topicals, you can eliminate superficial skin imperfections to achieve skin that is as close to ‘flawless’ as possible.”
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE THE FUTURE OF BEAUTY HOLDS? “I believe we haven’t begun to scratch the surface of how we can topically control the appearance of aging. Peptides, for example, have limitless applications, but the research is still in its infancy. I believe it will yield monumental advancements.”
WHICH SUPPLEMENTS DO YOU RELY ON FOR TOTAL WELLNESS? “I am very into supplements. I have done a lot of research and I am a member of, and have presented at, the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. My favorites are fish oil, coQ10, CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), resveratrol (from Longevinex) and something called Protandim.”

THE FUTURE OF BEAUTY
“Inclusivity is no longer an option; it’s essential. Every aspect of beauty must lift up women and celebrate diversity!”
CAROLYN ARONSON HOW DID YOUR BRAND COME TO BE? “As a hairstylist and salon owner, I became frustrated with brands that made dozens of products with only one benefit and hard-to-follow claims. I envisioned a line that delivered multiple salonquality results in just one bottle. I launched It’s a 10 Haircare in 2006 with one product, Miracle Leave-In, and the line quickly rose to fame.”
WHAT BEAUTY TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL TO YOUR ROUTINE? “Teeth cleaning and whitening every three months. I’m a huge fan of a beautiful smile, and a healthy mouth contributes to overall health.”
WHAT IS YOUR BEAUTY MANTRA? “Stay consistent. Beauty routines can be time-consuming, but they are very beneficial when they’re followed. I’m a firm believer that feeling good starts with looking good.”

FOUNDER AND CEO, IT’S A 10 HAIRCARE
WHEN DID YOU KNOW YOU’D MADE IT IN THE INDUSTRY? “When I was at JFK Airport in New York and saw my products inside one of the salons in the terminal. At that moment, I knew I had made it.”
MY BEAUTY MUST-HAVES Miracle Defrizzing Curl Cream, $24, itsa10haircare.com “It enhances your hair’s natural beauty in a touchably soft, long-lasting way.”
WHAT SUPPLEMENT DO YOU RELY ON TO FEEL YOUR BEST? “Protein, protein and more protein. Most women, especially at my age (51), are lacking in protein and don’t realize how vital it is to keeping you in shape. We eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, but forget how important protein is.”
WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE AGE-DEFYING SECRET? “Beauty has never been kinder to the aging woman than now. Fifty is the new 30. If people actually take the time to take care of themselves, getting older not only comes with wisdom, but also looking and feeling your best ever.”

New findings from NPD Group show that skin care sales increased by 9 percent in the United States last year. Within the category, the product type that saw the most growth wasn’t cleansers or serums, but rather face masks, which grew by a whopping 32 percent in 2017.

THE COST OF BEAUTY
A 2017 SkinStore.com survey uncovered how expensive the average woman’s daily skin care and beauty routine is, and the results were shocking. Women on the East Coast, particularly those residing in New York, use an average of 18 products daily, at an average cost of $11 per day. This ranked them as having the “most expensive faces,” while women on the West Coast averaged $8 per day.

For immediate concerns or permanent fixes, seeking a professional will always be your best bet. For everything in between, these at-home treatments take the cake.

LIGHT IT UP
When it comes to combatting a series of skin ailments, the power of light is unparalleled. From treating acne to tightening loose skin, experts agree that light-based devices are a must for anyone facing stubborn skin concerns. While a trip to the doctor’s office used to be the only way to get your hands on the technology, new advancements in the field now allow us to bring the muscle-healing and anti-aging power home with us.
SAY “CHEESE”
According to a study conducted by the American Dental Association, 23 percent of adults feel embarrassment due to the condition of their mouths and teeth. If crooked teeth are the concern, timeconsuming braces are no longer the sole solution. Now, most smiles can be treated at home, and for a fraction of the cost.

BEAUTY PHILOSOPHY
“DERMAFLASH was created by a woman for ALL women regardless of age and skin tone, type or color.”
“We believe in using makeup to enhance your already-beautiful skin, not to cover up flaws. The skin you want is lying just beneath the skin you see. DERMAFLASH instantly reveals smooth, youngerlooking skin.”
DARA LEVY HOW DID THE IDEA FOR DERMAFLASH COME TO BE? “Dermaplaning was the foundation of all services offered at my MedSpa. Five years and 6,000 dermaplaning treatments later, I had an epiphany. ALL women want smooth, fuzz-free skin, yet many don’t have access to the treatment. I realized an at-home solution didn’t exist, so I created it.”
FOUNDER AND CEO, DERMAFLASH
HOW IMPORTANT IS A GOOD SKIN CARE ROUTINE TO YOU?
MY BEAUTY MUST-HAVE
“A good skin care routine is invaluable. I never go to bed with my makeup on, and I always use a gentle cleanser, eye cream, essence, serum, moisturizer and neck cream. I am always experimenting!” “This device has literally changed my skin by making all of my skin care products work more effectively, while creating a flawless canvas for makeup.” DERMAFLASH 2.0, $189, dermaflash.com
WHAT DO YOU NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT? “My sunglasses, my phone and my DERMAFLASH! I am constantly taking strangers from fuzzy to fabulous!”
WHAT IS YOUR BEAUTY MANTRA? “If you look good, you feel good. And if you feel good, there is nothing you can’t accomplish. I also feel better (and less stressed) when I remind myself to breathe. Breath is life!”
BR3-Expert_Dermaflash.indd 71
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP AGE-DEFYING SECRETS?
“Aside from wearing sunscreen every day and regularly using DERMAFLASH, I love multitasking, high-SPF tinted moisturizers. They’re great for easy, go-and-glow days when you don’t have time for full makeup, which is basically me every day!”
WHICH ACHIEVEMENT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF SO FAR? “I could not be prouder of my team. We now have more than 30 full-time employees, and more than 90 percent are strong, beautiful women! Additionally, DERMAFLASH 2.0 launched on QVC in January, and we sold nearly 30,000 devices in one day—2018 is our year!”

AGING SECRET
“My ultimate aging ‘secret’ is using my SiO Wrinkle Patches every night. They literally work overnight and over time, and they help prevent future wrinkles from forming.”
GIGI HOWARD
FOUNDER, SIO BEAUTY®
HOW DID YOU DEVELOP THE BRAND?
WHAT ACCOMPLISHMENT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
“I started SiO because in my 20s, I began noticing wrinkles on my décolleté due to my side sleeping. My face looked young, but my chest made me look much older than I was. I became so insecure that I even started wearing scarves and turtlenecks. When I came across medicalgrade silicone in my doctor’s office (a trick that’s been used in scar healing for more than 30 years), I knew I had to find the magic solution. And that’s when I decided to start a beauty brand that would make women feel better and more confident about themselves. It wasn’t easy, but after 180 prototypes and a lot of hard work, we launched in 2016.”
“I am most proud of the transformational nature of SiO. We make products that smooth wrinkles from the brow to the bust and actually deliver on their promises. We spent a lot of time ensuring that our products are top-quality and high-performing, so that our customers truly see results. There are many brands out there that make big claims, but don’t actually work, and we aren’t one of them.”
WHAT IS THE BEST BEAUTY ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED? ”Don’t wear loads of makeup. It only makes you look older. Be as natural as you can while feeling beautiful.”
BR3-Expert_SiOBeauty.indd 73
WHAT DO YOU NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT? ”Sunscreen! I wear it every day and never leave the house without it.”
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE THE FUTURE OF BEAUTY HOLDS? “I think social media has changed the way women get informed about beauty. That unfiltered, shared information will only continue to influence women. We’ve

Making natural ingredients a top priority in everyday formulas is what put botanical skin care on the map. Now, there’s a shift toward the outside of these bottles, as brands are using more environmentally friendly packaging (think plant-based plastics and glass), and some brands, such as LUSH Cosmetics, are skipping the packaging on some of their products altogether.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST LESSON YOU’VE LEARNED IN THE INDUSTRY? “I’m a former tech executive, so when I launched hint, I had no prior experience in the beverage or beauty industries. The most important lesson I’ve learned is to ask questions, trust your gut and don’t let the naysayers bring you down.”
WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE ANTI-AGING SECRET? “This will come as no surprise, but my top two anti-aging secrets are to drink plenty of water daily (proper hydration does wonders for your skin and overall wellbeing) and to wear sunscreen regularly. It’s much easier to protect your skin from the sun, preventing damage, than to try to treat it after the damage is done.”
MY BEAUTY MUST-HAVES “Water is essential to feeling and looking my best, but plain water is boring for me.” Blackberry hint Water, $19.99 for a pack of 12, drinkhint.com
“It’s an easy sunscreen to spray on, and it’s lightweight, so your skin isn’t left feeling sticky.” Grapefruit hint Sunscreen, $19.99, drinkhint.com
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE THE FUTURE OF BEAUTY HOLDS?
WHAT IS THE BEST BEAUTY ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED?
“Consumer expectations are increasing. They are no longer satisfied sacrificing experience—either in the form of an unpleasant feel or smell—for efficacy. They expect both an enjoyable experience and a safe, healthy, effective product.”
“Wear sunscreen every day, but not just any sunscreen. I had a pre-cancer spot on my nose a few years ago. It’s the reason I created hint sunscreen. I wanted something that felt and smelled amazing so wearing it would not be a chore.”
BR3-Expert_HINT.indd 83
WHAT DO YOU NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT? “A bottle of hint water, hint sunscreen and lip balm.”

A University of East Anglia study found that hot drinks, which contain special compounds, can inhibit the absorption of iron by up to 73 percent. The researchers also found that if you consume hot beverages while eating probiotic foods like yogurts, they can even kill the “friendly” bacteria that is beneficial.

05 MOISTURE MATTERS
THE SCIENCE OF STRETCH MARKS
BERND VOGEL/GETTY IMAGES
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), some 90 percent of women will develop stretch marks during their sixth and seventh months of pregnancy. Often the result of skin that has become stretched out and ripped internally, Chicago plastic surgeon Julius Few, MD says they actually represent “the skin handling extreme tension that would otherwise cause complete ripping of the skin.�
In a perfect world, we would wake up to silky-smooth skin every morning. Because dryness is the reality, looking for certain ingredients in your creams and lotions will save you both time and effort in bringing your look-at-me skin back to the surface. Keep these at the top of your shopping list: powerful hyaluronic acid, ceramides and occlusive agents such as petrolatum, shea butter and dimethicone, to lock the newfound moisture in.

Many people rely on topical products to treat their skin, and are unaware that internal protection is just as important. That’s where supplements come into play.

01 Why the company created it:
This very collagen gave NeoCell’s founder a renewed vitality at age 70, so he had to share it with the world. It is now the number-one collagen product in the United States.

BUYER BEWARE Just because a bottle is covered with ingredient claims such as paraben-free, SLS-free or mineral oil–free, doesn’t make it natural. In fact, this is usually a red flag because that just means it’s free of those few mainstream ingredients. Looking at the product label is a must—if you still find a handful of ingredients you can’t pronounce, it’s not as pure as you think.

POWER UP YOUR PRODUCTS Many people think that exfoliating is a job to be done every once in a while, but according to Tata Harper, founder of the eponymous skin care line, exfoliating daily allows you to constantly clear away dead skin cells, which then lets your products penetrate your skin more easily. “Your whole regimen will become more effective,” she says.
