As you get older, your skin changes—which means your skin-care  routine should, too. In addition to doubling down on retinoids, SPF, and eye cream, there’s one other product derms want you to consider adding to your regimen to keep skin supple over time: hand cream. Skin begins to lose moisture and elasticity around age 25, which can cause the skin on your hands—which is more delicate than the skin elsewhere on your body—to become thinner and appear crepey and wrinkly. To combat these effects, derms recommend adding an anti-aging hand cream to your arsenal, which can improve texture, hydration, and firmness.

As someone with acne-prone skin , I’m really picky about what ingredients I put on my face. I don’t want to use anything that’s going to trigger a sudden flare-up or irritate my already sensitive complexion, which is something that can potentially happen when you try retinol for the first time. While it’s true that the vitamin A derivative is derm-recommended and creates smoother, clearer and fresher looking skin over time, it’s not a one-size-fits-all ingredient. And even if your skin can handle the powerful ingredient, you still will likely want to take it slow when you’re first incorporating it into your routine. And you’ll want to be mindful of which retinol products you start with, which is why we’re excited to see RoC Retinol Correxion Anti-Aging Wrinkle Night Serum ($25) currently on sale. It’s a retinol newbie favorite (for reasons we’ll get into in a second), and we love recommending it even when it’s not nearly 25 percent off. RoC Retinol Correxion Anti-Aging Wrin...

Whether you realize it or not, you probably know someone—maybe even a loved one—who has diabetes . This chronic health condition occurs when your pancreas either stops making insulin (type 1 diabetes) or you experience changes that make it difficult for your body to produce enough insulin and to use it properly (type 2 diabetes). In either case, the result is too-high blood sugar levels that can affect your health in a number of different ways. Diabetes as a whole affects 37 million Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) —and those numbers are rising. In the last 20 years alone, the number of adults who have received a diabetes diagnosis has more than doubled. (Though, it’s important to note that 90 to 95 percent of people with diabetes have type 2.) Living with diabetes can be challenging—it often involves a complex balancing act to keep your blood sugar as close to your target range as possible. So, if you know someone who’s either been rece...

When you’re prone to redness, you may notice that your face flushes far more easily during the winter months. Everything from cold air to high wind to low humidity can cause your skin to turn crimson, plus, “our skin also goes through quick temperature changes from the cold outdoors to the heat indoors, which can also activate a flush in the skin,” explains Neil Scibelli, a celebrity makeup artist in New York City. If you don’t love this rouge-ified look, sometimes regular foundation and concealer aren’t enough to cover it up. According to Scibelli, nstead of caking on complexion-colored makeup to try and mask it, your best bet is to counteract it with something green. “Green color correctors can be a great primer under your concealer, foundation, or even on its own along with a moisturizer, to really neutralize any redness,” says Scibeli. “ Color correcting references the color wheel and plays off of opposite colors in order to neutralize or change the colors desired. Green neutra...

When you’re trying to start a family, there are many ways to look after your reproductive health. Among the most useful lifestyle changes is switching up your exercise routine. A large body of research shows that working out regularly can significantly impact fertility. For example, a systematic review of studies published in Sports Medicine in 2017 found that doing 30 to 60 minutes of vigorous exercise daily was associated with a reduced risk of anovulatory infertility . Also called anovulation, this is when your ovary doesn’t release an egg during a menstrual cycle, and it accounts for approximately 30 percent of female infertility cases. At the same time, regularly engaging in strenuous exercise for longer than 60 minutes per day can lead to overtraining syndrome, a condition that exhausts your nervous system and increases the chances of infertility in women, reports the Carolinas Fertility Institute. The key? Striking a balance. We spoke with reproductive health experts abou...

You’ve likely seen many a health and wellness influencer share what they eat in a day over social media (we meet again, toxic diet culture). Unfortunately for all of us, the majority of these video hosts are completely unqualified to administer nutrition advice, and this “what I eat in a day” trend can cause and exacerbate disordered eating patterns . This is why many dietitians have taken to TikTok and Instagram themselves to share that many of these meals aren’t exactly as well-rounded as we’ve been led to believe. (Shocker, we know… she says dripping in sarcasm.) Case in point? The popular “myth” that eating two eggs offers enough protein for breakfast. We’ve asked Brierley Horton, MS, RD , co-host and co-creator of the Happy Eating podcast , and Vanessa Rissetto MS, RD, CDN, CEO and co-founder of Culina Health about why we need more protein for breakfast and how to up our intake without having to totally overhaul our favorite egg-filled morning meals . @nutritionsmylife #sti...
