We all want to smell good, but sometimes perfume can be, well, a lot (especially on steamy summer days or when you’re in close quarters with someone.) Enter: the best body sprays, your scent alternative savior. Think of fragrance mists as a lighter version of women’s perfume, making them ideal for any time you want to take the intensity down a notch. Fragrance mist vs. perfume “The biggest difference between the two forms is the intensity of fragrance and ultimately the fragrance experience on skin,” explains Jodi Geist, director of product development at Bath & Body Works. “Perfumes have a higher fragrance load than our Fine Fragrance Mists, and in many instances, include notes and ingredients that have more depth. She continues: “Due to the higher level of fragrance used in an eau de parfum, the experience is more enhanced, diffusive and longer-lasting. As such, eau de parfums are often applied minimally throughout the day. Our Fine Fragrance Mist forms do have similarities to th...

We all know how essential it is to wash our faces daily. But when you have dry skin, washing it becomes a balance between getting rid of debris, excess oil, makeup, buildup and dirt, and making sure that you’re not stripping away any hydration from your skin. That’s why choosing the right face wash is key to ensuring your already dry skin doesn’t get worse. But before we get into how to best face wash for dry skin, we have to understand how we get dry skin in the first place. Dry skin is a result of increased moisture loss from the skin. According to board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology Dr. Marisa Garshick, this usually occurs when our natural skin barrier, which helps lock in moisture, is weakened or disrupted. Dr. Garshick explains that a lot of factors can contribute to dry skin, like low humidity, cold temperatures and irritating products. It’s pretty easy to tell if you have dry skin or not. “Dry skin can be seen as skin that appears dull, flaky or rough,” Dr. Garshic...

If not, you might be missing out on a vital step that will take your DIY facial from amateur to professional in a snap. You’re probably already familiar with a facial steam, usually a long-armed steamer wielded by an aesthetician at the start of your facial.

Below, we take a deep dive into the benefits of a facial steamer, how to best utilize one in your routine and the facial steamers pros recommend. What is a facial steamer? A facial steamer produces a warm mist that can help target several skin issues, mainly clogged pores. The tank of the device is filled with water (usually distilled), which heats up until steam appears...

We’ll give you the good news first: If you have oily skin, you’re less likely to see fine lines and wrinkles. As for the bad news, well, you have to deal with excess oil. Chances are if you have oily skin, you know it. “People with oily skin feel oily, especially around midday, and feel the need to blot their skin throughout the day to keep it feeling less oily,” says Tracy Evans, MD, MPH, board certified dermatologist and medical director of Pacific Skin and Cosmetic Dermatology. Oily skin is caused by highly productive sebaceous glands, the glands that produce oils or sebum in the skin, explains Blair Murphy-Rose, MD, FAAD, a board-certified cosmetic and medical dermatologist at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York. But, using products specifically designed for oily skin can help. “Skin-care products tailored for oily skin will cut down on oils, reduce shine and often will also help to prevent acne, since excess sebum can contribute to clogged pores and acne,” says Dr. Mur...
