If clean, natural beauty products are what you seek, look no further than Australia. Aussie beauty brands are creating quite the buzz for providing high-quality skin care and makeup products while remaining non-toxic, botanical-based and often organic. Slowly but surely, the brands have started selling to the United States — and some can be found at big beauty retailers like Sephora.

We love putting makeup on, but taking it off? That's the bane of our existence. Or at least it was until we discovered cleansing oils. We can't tell you how many towels we've ruined with mascara and lipstick smears before trying oil cleansing. The best cleansing oils remove makeup like woah and leave skin feeling supersoft — but never greasy.

If you've noticed more skin care products lately claiming to protect and repair the skin barrier — or moisture barrier — you're not alone. Suddenly, we're being told that our barrier must be safeguarded at all costs for optimal skin health. But what exactly is the skin barrier?

Have you ever wondered about the effects of pollution on your skin? If you live in a metropolitan area, a daily intake of dusky smog is a necessary evil — but what are the exact effects it has on your skin? And is there anything you can do to temper said effects? We chatted with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mona Gohara to find out.

Once the temperature starts creeping up, you may notice your skin looks a little, shall we say, on the shiny side. Your first thought is probably to ditch the moisturizer but using a hydrator will actually go a long way towards keeping your complexion balanced. This spring and summer, think about swapping heavier moisturizers for lightweight facial oils. We know: Facial oils often get a bad rap—and those with oily or acne-prone skin usually think they can't use them—but it's all about finding the right one. A lightweight oil may even help curb the amount of oil your skin makes, says celebrity makeup artist Mary Irwin.

As we age, our skin (sadly) begins to show it. But who says added life experience needs to equate to less-than-radiant skin? If you're feeling a bit down about your less-than-supple complexion, it's time to add a collagen cream to your collection.

Now that fashion month is all wrapped up, you're probably dying to try some of the fresh new beauty looks shown on the runways. We're guessing you don't have an inky blue liquid eyeliner to recreate the latest underliner look or you might be in need of some wet-look eyeshadow in Pantone's color of the year. Or maybe you just need to finally find that perfect shade of red lipstick.

You may have noticed the word "pressed serum" popping up with more and more frequency — from K-beauty brands like Blithe, up-and-coming indie lines like Tula and even mid-range mainstays like Julep. The benefits of pressed serums generally come down to convenience and specific skin concerns that need targeting. Some pressed serums have a rich, balm-like texture that's great for dehydrated skin while others are perfect for travel, since you don't have to worry about spills. Plus, many of them are multi-taskers that also act as moisturizers and/or face oils. Suffice it to say, pressed serums are definitely worth checking out, especially since there are so many great new formulas hitting the market. Keep reading for seven of our favorites.

For thousands of years, people have used the natural resources around them to heal, soothe and beautify themselves. Ancient Egyptians — including Cleopatra herself — would use handmade rose water, colorful clay and donkey milk in their beauty rituals, and Chinese empresses from the seventh century AD would combine egg whites and vermillion into an eggshell and paint it on their faces.

As any self-respecting beauty buff can tell you, Korean beauty products have had a major moment in recent years, flooding the American market and sparking a whole slew of new trends and product categories. And while K-beauty isn't going anywhere, there's a newcomer on the block that's also making a big splash: J-beauty. As to be expected, there are some similarities between the two, but there are also significant differences.

If we told you that you didn't need to wash your face in the morning, what would you do? Laugh? Or do a little jig at the prospect of hitting the snooze button one extra time?

We get it: There is something deeply, primally satisfying about using a facial scrub. The catch is, they're just not good for us. Some are terrible for the environment and many more are harsh on your skin, irritating and tearing it on a microscopic level.

Have you ever wondered how your favorite moisturizer works? For starters, it likely falls into one (or two or even three, in some cases) of three categories: emollient, humectant and occlusive. We talked to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Purvisha Patel, who broke down the differences between the three classes.

Even the most seasoned beauty shoppers may be missing out on a veritable treasure trove of goodies. Where is this untapped resource hiding, you ask? In the baby care aisle, of all places. Not only are any of the products you find there guaranteed to be extra gentle (ideal for anyone with sensitive skin) but they're also just good, effective skin care options. Now, obviously this is not the place to look for an anti-aging serum (duh) but for the necessary basics, we highly recommend getting in on this baby beauty bounty. Here, seven of our favorite adult-approved baby products.

Whether your skin care routine is as simple as can be or consists of a complicated 12-step process, there's likely one non-negotiable: moisturizer. Not only does dry skin look less than pretty, it also doesn't feel good, making the right face cream a universal essential.

Happily, the latest crop of creams feature all kinds of innovative ingredients, technologies and formulas to go above and beyond their intended call of duty. Here, nine of the coolest new multi-tasking moisturizers out there.

You probably visit your dermatologist once a year for your annual skin screening (and if you haven't been in a while, we urge you to make an appointment, stat—skin cancer is no joke). You may even hit up your derm from time to time if you're dealing with pesky pimples or irritating eczema that you just can't seem to treat on your own.

The war against pimples can be ongoing, but some of the best acne products on the market can be found at the drugstore — for as little as $1. But between the hundreds of acne treatments out there, how do you know which of these acne products really work? That's where our readers come in.

Jade rollers, at-home microneedling tools, topical fillers and now, cica cream. Cica what, you ask? Cica cream is a wonder product that soothes seriously irritated skin (which, let's be real, we all experience from time to time). It might sound like moisturizer to you, but it turns out cica cream is so much more than that. We've got the scoop on what makes cica cream stand out, how to use it and where to find it.
