I’ll admit it: I’m a makeup snob through and through. I want eye shadows with bold pigment, eyeliners that never smudge (unless I want to go Charli XCX grunge), and featherweight foundations that make my skin look perfect. Am I asking for too much? With most products, yes. With this one specific drugstore buy, no….
Kiwis have gained attention for their digestive benefits, including keeping your bowel movements regular. Eating kiwi with the skin can boost its fiber content by up to 50%. The skin also contains nutrients that support heart health, like potassium and magnesium. Kiwis with the skin on have many health benefits, including being nutrient-dense and boosting…
Beef tallow has recently gained popularity as a “natural” skincare product. Beef tallow is cow fat that has been melted, strained, and turned back into a pure solid. It is often used as a substitute for oil, a natural cooking fat, or an ingredient in soap. While more research is needed to understand how useful…
Bronzer is my ultimate shortcut to a holiday-esque radiant glow, no matter the season. However, if you have cool or even neutral undertones like me, you’ve probably also been faced with the harsh reality that not every bronzer flatters you in the same way.

I have the kind of skin that might be a beauty editor’s worst nightmare and an inquisitive reader’s dream. Perennially dry (yes, even in the summer), red thanks to rosacea, and sensitive to oil, heavy fragrance, and most common irritants. Basically, my skin is out to get me in this product-testing-heavy role, which means that…

Scrolling through social media, there’s no shortage of skincare trends. From slugging to skin cycling, there’s always something new to try. That said, I’ve noticed many of these trends aren’t exactly acne-friendly. Slathering my face with Vaseline? Hard pass. My sensitive, breakout-prone skin erupts if a product so much as looks at it wrong. The…
As far as skincare products go, there are few more satisfying to use than a foaming cleanser. As an esthetician, it’s one of my favourite products to use on clients—there’s something so satisfying about a rich, thick lather and knowing that all makeup, sweat, oil, and impurities are being sloughed away to reveal a clean,…
