We hear a lot about uneven skin tones, thanks to hard-to-conceal dark spots and melasma, but don't forget about its equally annoying counterpart: uneven skin texture. These are the bumps, flakes, pits, and rough patches on your skin that are easy to feel and can be a little harder to see—that is until you apply makeup and the texture is amplified by cakey foundation.

When the Dyson Airwrap launched in 2018, I did the same thing everyone else did: I looked at the hairstyling device that somehow dries, curls, and smooths all at once and said, “COOL!” Then I looked at the price tag and noped right out, telling myself my drugstore tools work just fine, even if they were bulky, heavy, and made my hair feel a little closer to death each time I used them.

By a show of hands, how many of you have reached behind yourself only to find a bump (or bumps) on your butt or thighs? Keep your hand raised if you also thought said bumps were pimples on your butt, aka butt acne. Same! Since you can’t really see what’s going on back there, it’s easy to make an assumption based on the way it feels. And if you are, somehow, able to see it for yourself, you might even think it looks like plain ol’ zits, too. So if it looks like acne and feels like acne, it must be acne, right? Not necessarily.

Not many color combinations can give you both a retro ’50s feel and early ’00s pop-punk vibes at once, but that’s exactly the power of pink and black nails. When you take a pretty pink and pair it with bold black nail polish, you can even create modern mani designs with the right balance of elegance and edge. Take it from nail artist Mo Qin, who has worked with Selena Gomez, Julia Garner, and Emilia Jones: Qin recommends the color combo for anyone who’s willing to get out of their comfort zone and try something other than the usual single shade-based manicure.

If you're one of the lucky ones who regularly experience breakouts, you're no stranger to salicylic acid, but how much do you know about willow bark extract? The plant extract is often touted as the gentle, natural alternative to salicylic acid, but can it really address your acne, slough away your dead skin, and remove excess oil as effectively as the tried and true BHA?

If you use temporary hair-removal methods, such as shaving or waxing, you might frequently experience these uncomfortable bumps and, as a result of said bumps, unwanted dark spots. And if you would rather not give up shaving for the sake of smooth, even skin, there are ways you can continue with your hair removal and avoid ingrown hair scars.

If you’ve thought about getting a bob or bangs (or maybe both?) dozens of times but changed your mind just as many, maybe now’s the right moment to finally give the cropped hairstyle a try.

Hot take here, but I firmly believe that the most important consideration when buying a new skincare product is how fun, exciting, and gratifying it is to use. Hear me out: No matter how great and effective a product is, if you aren't going to use it (and use it consistently), it won't work miracles for your skin. So if you find it hard to stick to your usual, boring routine, what you need is a satisfying skincare tool to shake things up.

Tweezing your own brows is a lot like trimming your own bangs: It starts with a little shape up, and before you know it, you’ve taken off way too much. What’s more, just like your bangs, growing out your brows can be a slow and frustrating process.

If you're still not sold on face oils and using them regularly in your skincare routine, chances are you might have had a less-than-positive experience with one in the past. Some oils are indeed known to be comedogenic and some even irritating, but that's not the case for all of them.

Choosing the right manicure requires more than just picking out the nail polish color or the nail shape you want. You’ve also gotta consider the occasion, your lifestyle, how much time you’re willing to spend at the salon, and, you know, your budget. With so many different types of nails and ways to customize them to your style, you've got a lil’ somethin' for everyone, from your grandma to your bestie.
