So, you're officially a thirty-something. What now?


Well... it's time to get serious about your skin care: The days of your vibrant-without-trying twenty-something skin are behind you now. And, on the horizon in your 30s, are some changes: A drop off of collagen and elastin production and other noticeable signs of aging. Goodbye, smooth, supple and radiant skin. (Hello, fine lines and dull, dry skin.)

Dealing with oily and combination skin can be tough: You've got to be blotting-paper ready all hours of the day, and, more often then not, you're dealing with breakouts.

Sometimes, the world of CBD beauty products feels murky. Does it actually do all the things people say it does? Can it get you high? Is it legal? And... what exactly is it?

Caviar limes aren't your typical limes: Discovered in Australia, they look like teensy cucumbers on the outside and have tasty, citrusy, sweet little caviar-like beads (hence the name) on the inside.

DIY hacks are everywhere nowadays. Log on to Facebook and you're guaranteed to find a DIY something on your newsfeed, right? The hobby of making it all on your own is cheap, easy and fun — or so they say. As you read this there's probably some Pinterest addict building a table out of trash or slathering a turmeric yogurt mask on their face. However, there are some things, that perhaps, we shouldn't do on our own: Such as skin care.

You're tired, overworked and you've just noticed that you've developed dark circles under your eyes — and now that's stressing you out even more.

The next time someone asks you, "What are the three things you'd bring with you to a deserted island?" your first response should be, "Sunscreen!" Good old SPF is a vital part of everyone's skin care regimen no matter what your skin color, whether you're a month old or in your 100s, and whether you live in the desert, on the beach, or in the rainiest part of the world.

Pretty much everyone loves using sheet masks. And who wouldn't? They're rejuvenating, totally Instagrammable, and they leave your skin feeling amazing. However, it's important to ensure that you're using the right one for your skin type and needs. After all, you don't want to waste cash on something that won't work for you, or worse... be the cause of your breakout.

This summer, fruit-scented beauty products are everywhere — even more than usual, that is. Everyone from your drugstore faves, to cutesy indie brands and even the luxe, prestige lines are hopping on the bandwagon. It makes sense: Scented beauty products are a sensorial experience — so, much like eye-catching packaging, these little extras can make a simple product seem that much more luxurious. They also offer a bit of a throwback factor... if you remember Sanrio products, magic markers or scented glitter gels from decades past, you're sure to love these fruit-scented offerings. Check out some of our favorite fruity beauty products this summer and pick some up for yourself!

Known as the heart of Korean skin care, the essence is a staple of the 10-step routine. Outside of K-beauty, however, the essence doesn't seem to be, well, essential. They're honestly kinda misunderstood and their purpose can seem somewhat unclear. Is it a toner? Is it a serum? Is it just... fancy water?

We've seen skin compared to everything from glass to honey to dewy dumplings, but we haven't heard it likened to the weather. That is, until cloudless skin came along. Unsurprisingly, the cloudless skin trend hails from — where else? — South Korea.

Just as you packed away your sweaters and boots to make room for your shorts and flip flops, it's time to make a few key changes to your skin care routine for the summer season. What you used in the winter and spring may be too heavy and harsh for your skin, now that the heat is here. And while sunscreen is a must year-round, it's particularly important to use it diligently during the summer when you're going to be spending lots of time in the sunshine. Here, top dermatologists explain the perfect summer skin care routine.

The best acne products are essential for adults suffering from bad skin. While some women are lucky enough to outgrow teen acne (or skip it entirely — jerks), the rest of us need help dealing with the recurring blemishes in our 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond. That's when this list of the best acne products — along with the ones you should avoid — becomes especially handy. With it, we can navigate the endless acne treatment options out there and hone in on the best acne products that will help us treat everything from cystic acne and the occasional monster zit to chin acne or recurring breakouts.

Honey isn't just a delicious sweetener: It turns out it's got some pretty neat skin care benefits too, thanks to its antioxidant and antimicrobial nature. A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology notes that honey is great at softening and soothing skin and even slowing down the formation of wrinkles. Other research points to honey's ability to speed up the healing of wounds, while yet other research points out that honey is good at preventing the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, a bacteria that causes acne.

There is almost nothing more calming and peaceful than sitting on a beach or by the pool soaking up the sun, listening to the slight sound of the birds chirping and the wind blowing... until you're hit with the realization that all the sun that you've just soaked up will likely leave your skin burnt, dry, and in need of serious revitalization and soothing.

Oily skin is a struggle: You probably never leave the house without blotting papers in your bag. Makeup products with matte formula are also your top choices to help minimize the greasy look. It takes a lot of effort to get rid of that unwanted sheen across your face (TBH, it's tiring), and the worse part: you're more prone to acne, blackheads, and large pores.

We know by now that we should moisturize constantly, drink enough water and try to eat well. This means your complexion should reflect that, right? Well, not always: Sometimes we eat or drink certain things that could actually be bad for our skin.

Listen, putting acid around your eyes might not sound like the best idea, but hear us out: Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in our skin. Think of it like a sponge — it soaks up water molecules to help the skin stay hydrated. And since the natural aging process decreases the body's hyaluronic acid production, well, it's nice to re-up via your skin care routine.

Looking for the best anti-aging serum? Finding the perfect balance of moisture and effectiveness in an anti-aging serum isn't easy, and with hundreds of anti-aging products out there, it can be tough to know where to start. That's where our readers come in.

You know that slathering yourself in SPF when you hit the beach is a must (as is wearing sunglasses and sitting under an umbrella), but what sunscreen should you use? In July 2018, Hawaii became the first state to ban the sale of sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinate, since researchers have found these chemicals to be potentially harmful to reefs and other life under the sea. So whether you're vacationing in Hawaii or hitting up your local beach, you may be wondering how to keep your skin safe — without causing any further damage to the environment.
