When it comes to skincare, Sephora doesn’t play. Ever since hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol) took over as the hottest beauty and wellness ingredient, we’ve seen it infused into all kinds of lotions, potions, and serums. But the beauty giant would never add a new category without doing its homework. That’s precisely why Sephora’s CBD selection is hyper-curated. “We tested hundreds of CBD products,” says Cindy Deily, Sephora VP of Skincare Merchandising. Considering texture, absorption, potency, and demonstrable results, only CBD sourced…

Hoxton/Sam EdwardsGetty Images Beauty trends ebb and flow as quickly as the seasons change—sometimes even quicker. Remember pencil-thin 90s brows? Or maybe you dabbled with glitter roots during festival season?

Lip augmentation is an increasingly popular, non-surgical, semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that adds volume to thin lips. But, there’s an alternative (and…
CoffeeAndMilkGetty Images It’s time to consider a beauty routine detox. When we purge out chemicals found in many traditional beauty products, everybody wins: the planet, animals not being used for testing, and us. But like any diet, the struggle to put it into practice—and stick with it—is real. If you’ve never thought about switching over to a more green routine, consider that the United States has only banned 13 toxic chemicals from beauty products, compared to close to 1,400(!) prohibited…
Florence GoupilGetty Images From the tiny envelope inked on my nape to the tube of lipstick above my right ankle, I have 15 tattoos in total. At least, I’m pretty sure I do. I’m starting to lose count. As a writer, I blame my body art obsession on my natural inclination to tell stories.

Look, it’s not sexy, but it’s a real issue—and one that makes a lot of women feel unnecessarily self-conscious: We’re talking about thigh chafing, aka “chub rub” (cringe). If you’ve ever felt the sensation of your thighs rubbing up against each other until they’re raw, you know it’s the worst. This can be an issue year-round, but it’s particularly prevalent in the summer when you’re much more likely to spend the day with your legs out in a breezy dress,…
There’s something so grossly satisfying about using a pore strip. Looking at all the gunk from your skin almost feels therapeutic. It’s why people can’t get enough of viral pore strip removal videos and photos. But, what is the pore strip actually doing (besides providing #content gold)? We asked board certified dermatologists Dr. Purvisha Patel, Dr. Craig Kraffert, and Dr. Jame Heskett for the rundown on everything strip related. Do they actually work? Will they fix our blackhead issues for…
