Once upon a time, exfoliating meant using one of only the few scrubs out there and calling it a day. That's no longer the case, thanks to an influx of cleansers, boosters, serums, toners, peels, lotions and masks (you get the picture), all touting their own exfoliating benefits and the promise of radiant skin. But as the saying goes, all things in moderation. Turns out it's -- very -- possible to over-exfoliate, and end up with skin that looks more gross than glowy. Ahead, the signs that indicate it's time to ease up on the exfoliation, plus the best sloughing solutions for any and every skin type.

As the seasons change and the temperatures drop, we know the most wonderful time of year is upon us. That's right, we're talking about the Nordstrom Holiday Beauty Sale. While their Anniversary Sale gets major coverage, if you're not the ultimate Nordy Girl, the Beauty Sale can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Sorry, but with deals like these, that's just not acceptable. With offerings from La Mer, M.A.C., Tom Ford, and Jo Malone (not to mention dozens of others), spanning cosmetics, fragrance, skin care and men's grooming, you best believe it's a sale you don't want to miss. In fact, after seeing all these deals, we have a feeling you'll be marking these sale dates on your calendar each and every year.

When your inbox is exploding, deadlines are arriving too quickly, and you're just remembering about that bill that was due, it's safe to say your days can be a little too stressful at times. For those days when you feel like you're falling apart at the seams, there are beauty products that can help (because beauty products fix everything, right?).

Perfume seems like the ideal holiday gift: It's beautifully bottled and pure luxury -- the sort of treat that women may not buy for themselves, but almost all like to receive.

Tired of applying powder countless times throughout the day? You're not alone. There are many of us with oily or combination skin who fight day in and day out to keep our faces shine-free. The good news: Powder is no longer the only option to get a sought-after matte complexion. The answer lies in your skin-care routine. A few product tweaks, you may just want to ditch your powder after all.
