We’re all looking for time-saving products and techniques when it comes to our beauty routines, especially when they’re beneficial for the overall health of our skin. What if there was a product that reduces your risk of sun exposure (and thus, quicker signs of aging and sunspots), makes you glow like self tanner, and hydrates your skin while wearing it? We bet you’d make a mad dash to Sephora to grab a bottle, right? Well, that miracle-in-a-bottle already exists and it’s a tinted moisturizer with SPF.  What Is Tinted Moisturizer? “It’s just as it sounds — a lightweight moisturizer with a bit of skin tint to act as a hydrator while offering slight pigment for sheer coverage,” says board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman. “This is a great swap for foundations in the summer when you tend to sweat off heavy makeup, and many of them often co

When you’re plagued with dry skin, it can feel like no amount of body lotions or creams are ever moisturizing enough. And you’re not imagining things — many hydrating products can just simply sit on the surface of skin, rarely getting absorbed to repair dryness. But that’s where body butters save the day. These rich, ultra-concentrated creams can resolve a plethora of concerns, from cracked skin to achy muscles to reducing the appearance of cellulite. But first and foremost, what is body butter?  What is Body Butter? “I like to think it’s a descriptive term,” says Bee Shapiro, founder of fragrance and body care brand Ellis Brooklyn and New York Times columnist. “It’s not a technical term, but we use it to communicate that the texture is extra rich and thick.”  Almost any skin type can benefit from using body butter, as the extra hydration will help soothe

Regardless of the season, having a reliable go-to body cream as part of your daily routine is one of the most important and nourishing self-care moments you can do for your body. While some may think that because we’re all a little sweatier in the summer, we can skip moisturizing, but that couldn’t be further from the truth, especially as we’re likely all shaving a little bit more frequently as well. Whether you use an electric shaver for women, a traditional razor or a bikini trimmer, you’re going to want to moisturize directly after, but more on that later. Summer is sadly short and sweet, but without maintaining a consistent moisturizing routine, it can cause serious damage. Experiencing extra sensitive skin or dryness in the summertime is super common, according to Christine Sharkey, medical aesthetician at Stark Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center i

The 15 Best Nursing Bras for Breastfeeding

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission.

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. From ultra-glam disco to effortless boho and punk rock, the ’70s remain one of the most eclectic, boundary-breaking and sought-after fashion decades of all time. So, it’s no surprise that style influences from that era keep coming back in fashion— including in 2022. Sky-high platforms, crochet pieces, mini skirts and yes, even flared jeans are everywhere — from the runways to the red carpet to TikTok — bringing on a slight ‘70s resurgence from head to toe. After countless seasons of straight-leg and skinny jeans, the return of flared denim is a welcome change. From Balenciaga to Saint Laurent, Celine, Michael Kors and Gucci, designers have been favoring the return of wide-leg and flared jeans on recent runways — indicating the trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

There are plenty of ‘90s and early ‘00s trends that have reentered the lexicon: miniskirts are back, and so too are cargo pants. But no one trend has caused a ripple quite as much as the return of wide-leg jeans. Increasingly, trendsetters are ditching their fitted denim silhouettes for the ‘90s wide-leg jeans now favored by celebrities like Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa. “There has been a shift in recent seasons from polished, tailored A-line jeans that are fitted through the hips and very tops of the thighs to wide-leg jeans with a looser, more casual fit and attitude reminiscent of our favorite ‘90s styles,” says Jill Guenza, global vice president of women’s design at Levi Strauss & Co. “‘90s jeans were notable for their boyish attitude suggested by the ease through the hips and stacking on the shoe.” As you experiment with bigger proportions on your bo

Your skin deserves to be hydrated, your mind soothed, and your body enrobed in something soft to the touch. Enter silk pajamas, the sleepwear staple that can transform a cozy night in into something decadent. “Silk is an ancient natural fiber created by the Bombyx Mori silkworm,” explains Olivia von Halle, the founder of her eponymous sleepwear label. She notes that sericulture, or the production of silk, has taken place in China since 2700 BC. “Silk is hygroscopic, meaning it keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter — of course this is perfect for nightwear! At the end of its life-cycle silk, as a natural material, is totally biodegradable and will return to the Earth.”  Because of its comfortable nature, silk has become a de facto favorite for sleepwear, with pajama options ranging from traditional pants and

If you’re an avid self-tanner, you know that there’s a difference between self-tanner for your body and face tanner.  “The way I look at it is how I look at skin care. You wouldn’t use the same products on your face as you do your body, and vice versa,” says global tanning expert for Tan-Luxe and LA-based tanning artist Alexandra DiMarchi. She explains that, like skin care, each product is specifically created with those areas in mind. “For example, Tan-Luxe’s The Face drops are made only with raspberry seed oil and aloe vera to hydrate,” she says, “whereas Tan-Luxe’s The Body also has a cellutone complex for tightening and firming the body.”  Perhaps the biggest difference between face and body self-tanner is the amount of dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, that is within the formulation. It is the main ingredient in every tanning product and happens to be the on

Stock up with a high-SPF sunscreen, make sure you have a hat and a great beach read, and most importantly, find yourself the best bikini for your impending day tanning, relaxing, and splashing.  Bikinis, unlike a one-piece swimsuit, are a two-piece swimsuit that comes in any variety of cuts — from solely for skin-baring, to something sporty made for doing laps in your local pool. “Styles have definitely become more revealing,” explains Shea Marie, the founder of Same Swim. “When I was younger seeing a thong bottom on the beach felt inappropriate, now it’s commonplace.” She adds that an industry shift towards more inclusive sizing and imagery has led to positive change (and growth) in th

Nothing is worse than going all out on a makeup look — a red lip, bold smokey eye, graphic liner, etc. — and then having it melt away after an hour or two. All that hard work was wasted because your makeup just couldn’t hold onto your skin.  There are a couple of things you can do to extend your makeup, such as using water- and sweat-proof products or using a good setting powder or spray.

But with more shapewear than ever available to shoppers, experts say that anyone can take advantage of the category’s figure-flattering possibilities. “Shapewear is no longer your grandma’s girdle,” says Nordstrom National Fit Director Liisa Thorson. “It has evolved to include sexy yet functional options for women to we

Not too long ago, the T-shirt bra market was pretty barren, as these pieces were mostly thought of as loungewear items. However, times have changed, and the market has evolved. In fact, T-shirt bras are currently among the most popular types of bras in North America. Everyday brands like Hanes and Victoria’s Secret count t-shirt bras as bestsellers.
