Your hands and nails need the same amount of love you regularly give your face. Think about it, your hands also endure sun exposure, stress and dirt as you constantly use them every day. But the skin on your hands is different from your facial skin. Your palms lack sebaceous glands, which makes it difficult to maintain moisture. Flip it and you'll notice that the skin on the back of your hand is thin and sensitive, making it prone to aging. This is why they need a care routine that goes beyond your weekly manicure appointment.
If you don't prime before applying eye makeup, you're committing a serious makeup crime. If you aren't convinced that you need (or have time for) this crucial step, maybe this will do it: Experts say that the No. 1 way to prevent makeup from melting and smudging is to prime. (Think about it this way: Taking an extra 10 seconds in the morning to apply eye primer is quicker than spending five minutes wiping eyeliner off your lower lids in the afternoon.)
Hair accessories have never been more old-school than right now. Our favorite grade-school styles are back—think barrettes, flip clips, claw clips, scrunchies, headbands—but upgraded in a way that appeals to our adult selves. This season, headbands are supersized and just a tad more sophisticated. They were all over the spring runways and are already being sported by the street style set.
With festival season on the horizon, music enthusiasts everywhere are gearing up to spend the weekend seeing their favorite bands live (and dancing the night away). Make no mistake, your Instagram feed is about to be flooded with babes decked out in 70s-inspired getups in big fields full of people, food, and fun.
Summer is fast approaching and you know what that means: It's time to break out the sunscreen. Of course, we've told you time and time again how important it is to wear SPF daily (no matter the weather!) but this is the time of year when sun protection is top of mind. Choosing the right sunscreen seems like a simple enough decision, but it turns out you've actually got quite a bit to think about. Thankfully, a mineral-based sunscreen that contains zinc oxide as an active ingredient is usually a safe bet.
