Ah, spring. We can finally leave the house and feel the sun shining on our faces. We shed the many layers of clothing and this year, we also get to shed layers of makeup. Because the major trend on the runway at New York Fashion Week? Bare-faced beauty. It's natural — the antithesis of layering foundation and primer and concealer. It means skipping the endless blending and highlighting in favor of your natural glow. And this year is even more fun. Besides the dewy skin and glow-ups, there was an added element to keep things interesting: a dot of shadow here, a swipe of underliner there, and you've updated the whole look.
As much as we like the thought of enjoying an elevenses snack with co-workers, the sad reality of our frantic, modern working world is that we're lucky if we are able to stop by 2:00 for a quick lunch. So, we need something for breakfast that will keep us fueled — other than stress and caffeine.
When it comes to beauty, there aren't many things you can accomplish in under a minute. But thankfully, there are some miracle products that can actually impact the health of your skin, hair, nails or overall glow in just 60 seconds. You might not always have time for a facial, manicure or blowout, so these products are here to give you a renewed sense of brightness and freshness – in no time flat.
When it comes to buzzy beauty ingredients (hello, CBD oil and snow algae), Vitamin C and Vitamin E get a lot of attention. But how well do you really know your skin care vitamins? Vitamin B helps with skin cell turnover, C is for brightening, E is for nourishing...but is vitamin F even a thing? Yep, it sure is.
While the beauty industry is constantly coming up with new ingredients to make our products more effective, there are plenty of natural ingredients that have been doing it for years. One of our favorite ingredients regaining popularity lately is avocado. (Yes, it's good for way more than just guacamole or avo toast.)
