RESPECT YOUR energy LAST FALL I experienced an extended energy slump. The reasons for it were obvious: stress, travel, erratic eating, erratic sleeping. But while I knew the source, I blew the solutions. Instead of doing less, I did more. I pushed myself to exercise longer and harder, certain it would improve my sleep and boost my energy.

the anti-routine

Your skin is constantly changing. Hormone fluctuations, climate, travel, lifestyle, and aging can all affect things like skin-cell turnover rate, hydration, sebum production, and barrier function. So your skin-care regimen should also be flexible, adapting to the state of your complexion. “My routine changes almost daily,” says Michelle Henry, M.D., a dermatologist in New York. “I decide which products to use depending on how my skin looks and feels. But I have a few non-negotiables, namely sunscreen and an antioxidant serum, that I consider part of my foundation.” Tiffany Masterson, the founder of Drunk Elephant, says she started her skin-care line on the premise of daily customization. “You open your fridge and decide what you’re in the mood to eat,” she says. “I view skin care similarly.
