Everyone On TikTok Is Using Masque Bar Half-Face Sheet Masks to Combat Maskne

Holiday travel is in full swing across the country, and with TSA face mask requirements in effect until 2022, TikTok users have come up with creative ways to combat maskne, like the new trend of layering Masque Bar’s Hydrogel half-face sheet mask under cloth face masks. Essentially, double masking with these sheet masks allows travelers to have an incognito spa day without anyone noticing! Many TikTokers like Alexa Johnson have taken this hack to the skies and swear by this method to simultaneously fight breakouts and hydrate skin. But does it really work? We spoke to New York-based board-certified dermatologist Dr. Kavita Mariwalla to confirm the efficacy of this sheet mask trend. “Depending on what the material is that the mask is made of, it can calm the skin or it can help drive ingredients into the skin,” explained Mariwalla. “Moisture and occlusion always help make ingredients absorb into the skin better and that is essentially what all sheet masks do.” In her viral TikTok, Johns...

The 12 Best Electric Shavers for Women

If you’ve ever used a disposable razor, you know from experience these drugstore tools can only take you so far. In terms of delivering a silky-smooth finish, their quality and bathroom shelf-life is limited. And while manual razors guarantee a close shave, putting the blade to the skin (especially when said blade becomes dull) puts you at a greater risk for nicks and cuts. Luckily, there are alternative hair removal methods (besides stealing his razor), like waxing, lasering, or, keeping within the DIY family by switching over to an electric shaver. Powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, the best electric shavers for women use perforated foil blades that are smooth on the outside and sharp on the inside. By creating a dual-blade effect, these devices allow the hair to become more exposed so you can remove it quickly and deeply from the root, thus delaying hair regrowth and prolonging the time in between your shaves. According to NYC-based dermatologist Dr. Hadley King, there a...

Design Theory: How George Trochopoulos’ Stripe Motif Became a Go-to Celebrity Style

Despite minimal prior design experience and just a few years of fashion school under his belt, George Trochopoulos has become a go-to designer for some of today’s biggest stars. The 20-year-old London-based designer didn’t initially intend on a career as a fashion designer, having first thought about law or software engineering. It was when he was looking for a safe space and a community that he ended up pursuing fashion design. “I was always very creative and very playful, whether that stems from my queerness or that’s something else, I’m not sure,” he explained. “[Fashion designer] was never seen by me or anyone in my life as a job position, but basically I started doing that and playing around. It was the only way in which I saw myself succeeding in a space that I could be myself. It was the only thing that felt right and a step toward the right place. It was never really about the clothes themselves or my fascination with dresses, but it was more about the fact that at the time I r...
