Daphne Oz, daughter of TV's famed Doctor Oz, has been in the spotlight for almost two decades. She launched her first book, the bestselling The Dorm Room Diet, when she was still a college student. Since then, she has written two more books as well as gone on to host MasterChef Junior and The Dish on Oz. She's also the co-host of the Mom Brain podcast where, along with now controversial co-host Hilaria Baldwin, she discusses life as a mother of four while interviewing parenting experts. An advocate for enjoying food while living healthfully, she's a nutrition ambassador for Persona, which she says helps her fill in occasional nutrition gaps. Plus she recently launched a skincare brand, Loum Beauty. Not bad for a mom of four kids under six!
Retinol: It's the ingredient that has people stressing almost as much as when you use the last drop of a discontinued beauty product. Retinol products have a reputation for being effective but harsh. And here we are in the middle of winter when skin is put through the ringer with blustery winds, freezing temperatures, drying central heating and more. It sounds like risky business to pair a notoriously potent ingredient with harsh weather, so we asked experts about the best ways to use retinol in the winter without skin suffering a major reaction.
For the longest time the collective beauty community has been a bit fixated on tending to the skin on our faces. There are enough vitamin C serums to last a lifetime, way too many creams to count, and scrubs, peels, and cleansers galore.
Let's be real. Taking those five minutes morning, noon, and night to brush and floss your teeth isn't exactly the most exciting part of the day. In fact, it's pretty dang monotonous and there's great temptation to cut corners. That said, oral hygiene is super important — and not just because it keeps cavities, stinky breath, and infections away. Your oral health is actually tied to your greater well-being and, more specifically, your heart health.
When we use a mirror, we're typically using it to apply our various serums and facial oils and to master our gua sha technique. We aren't looking in the mirror wondering how we can achieve the same look of said mirror on our skin. Well, we are now. Mirror skin is the coveted look du jour and it very much is about getting the same effect as a mirror. It might sound a bit abstract, but the regimen is crystal clear. (Sorry!) We asked experts about the latest skin care trend and how to achieve mirror skin.
