Why This Facial Scrub is a Staple in My Skincare Routine -

In the world of skincare, few products get as bad a rap as the facial scrub. After a 2016 lawsuit claimed that the cult-favorite St. Ives Apricot Scrub caused microscopic tears in skin, physical exfoliants of all kinds took a quick downturn in popularity. Even after the lawsuit was eventually dismissed, the backlash against facial scrubs wasn’t so quick to fade.

Like most teens in the aughts, I used my apricot scrub religiously. When I heard that the satisfyingly gritty, fruit-scented paste might be damaging my skin, I reluctantly threw it out. But after years of experimenting with exfoliation—both chemical and physical—I discovered a product that made me believe in facial scrubs again: Omorovicza Refining Facial Polisher. Powered by lava powder (no walnut shell fragments here), this emerald-green elixir buffs away buildup and dead skin, leaving my complexion feeling smooth and baby-soft.

How to Avoid Chapped Lips This Winter -

With winter comes a battery of annoying personal-care problems—staticky hair, ashy skin, dry-as-the-Sahara-desert hands. But perhaps the worst of them all is chapped lips. Aside from being downright uncomfortable—sometimes even painful if they start to crack—chapped lips are also unsightly, especially under your favorite lipstick. Below, our beauty editors share their top tips to help care for your lips during cold, wintry weather.

Draw in hydration with humectants
We know it can be tempting to slather on any old lip balm and call it a day. But stubbornly dry, chapped lips call for deeper hydration. Enter humectants, a family of ingredients that draw water out of the environment around you and bind it to your skin, supporting healthy moisture levels and barrier function. Look for a lip treatment with tried-and-true humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
