If there's one night of the year that we want our makeup to stay put, it's New Year's Eve -- because no one wants to kiss their boo at midnight with raccoon eyes, or find that all of their Instagrams from the final night of the year feature faded lipstick or a T-zone that's way shinier than any camera flash. And with many of us partying until long after the clock strikes 12, it becomes extra-challenging to keep our makeup locked in place.
Last month we put together a little shopping list for Sagittariuses -- but now with the sun entering the sign of the goat, it's time for a Capricorn beauty gift guide.
If we've said it once, we've said it a million times: You need to wear sunscreen every single day. That's 365 days a year, and yes, even during the winter. "If you can see your hand in front of your face, there are enough UV rays present to cause cancer and signs of aging," says Mona Gohara, MD, associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine. "While, yes, the sun is less intense in the winter, the risk is still there," she cautions. Case in point: These five scenarios where you're likely getting more sun than you think.
Quality hand cream might not seem totally necessary — but with all the typing, styling and high-fiving we do, our hands go through a lot on a daily basis. Still, hand cream usually ends up at the bottom of our list of beauty priorities. We spend hundreds of dollars on anti-aging face serums and hydrating masks for our hair, but hands also show signs of aging — sometimes even more than your face. So in some ways, the best hand creams are some of the most powerful defenses against aging.
