#Doublefisting doesn't just apply to having two glasses of wine in hand simultaneously. It's a hashtag that's becoming trendy on Instagram with the Korean beauty-obsessed, and it refers to the popular Korean ritual of using two face masks a day. (Yes, you read that right.) It's like bridal boot camp for your skin, helping solve your pressing skin woes in time for a big event.

If you want beautiful skin, there are endless tricks and tips you can try. Some are simple and attainable while others … not so much. Drinking gallons of water? Doable. Smearing bird poop all over your face once a week? No thanks.
Not even the best makeup in the world can compete with naturally radiant skin. And that's where two complexion-enhancing moisturizers from Aveeno come in.
Finding the best facial cleanser, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen and more can prove quite challenging, because there are constantly hundreds of new skincare products -- each promising to deliver amazing results -- to choose from. How do we know? We pretty much tested every single new face product that hit the market in the past six months.

Unless your face is red and inflamed, you're probably not thinking about your skin barrier (basically, your outermost layers of skin). Wrinkles? Yes. Pigmentation? Probably. But the integrity of your skin barrier? Doubtful.
Skin tags -- they occur out of nowhere and have us booking an emergency appointment with our dermatologist to figure out what the hell is growing on our body. While they're perfectly normal and typically very small, that doesn't stop them from being annoying.
The buzziest new ingredients in skin care: Bee and snail venom, or "Botox in a bottle."

If you ask us, vaginas and all their accoutrements are pretty amazing; they're designed to be self-cleaning and naturally expand to accommodate everything from a well-endowed lover (what a team player!) to a baby's 13-and-a-half-inch head. NBD. Meanwhile, the clitoris has more nerve endings than any other body part (hello, multiple orgasms!).
Blackheads: The word alone is ugly. And the reality of having blackheads on your face is even more unpleasant — so much so that we understand why women are willing to go to great lengths to find out how to get rid of blackheads.
Why would anybody want to know how to get rid of freckles? After all, freckles can be cute. Freckles can even be stylish. (Case in point: the Topshop Freckle Pencil in Forever Young, $7 — so you can draw them onto your otherwise unmarred skin.)
