editor’s letter

I thought I was skin smartI’m referring to one of my favorite columns in Shape. I’m skin obsessed—I read everything skin related that I can get my hands on. I’d say I have my dermatologist on speed dial if speed dial were still a thing. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I went to bed without cleansing, moisturizing, and undereye-cream dabbing. So I thought I knew a lot on the subject, but this issue—the skin issue—was a revelation. The excellent, multifaceted reporting has both surprised and educated me. And I’m sure the issue will do the same for you. Here are a few of my favorite takeaways.This is a great month to focus on skin-care self-care, and that’s my plan. For the entire month of June, I’ll be posting…

makeup that’s good for you

Seraphine BotanicalsCrystal + Chrome Pigmented Crystalline Particles in Malachite ($18, seraphine botanicals.com).EyesSome synthetic ingredients are clean and safe. “We use only those that are sustainably sourced and that have safety data to support them,” says Vicki Geiger, a senior director of research and development at Physicians Formula. One example: the synthetic mica in the rainbow of clean eye shadow and glitters available now (although it’s created in a lab, it’s made of natural minerals, not the microplastics that end up in our oceans). Synthetic mica is often paired with recently discovered plant-based film formers, which help an eye shadow glide on thinly and stay in place—and can also offer skin-smoothing and firming benefits.HUE KNEW“There’s no limit to the colors we can create cleanly.”—Sheena Yaitanes, founder of KosasAxiology Lipsticks ($30 each,…

Although most of us cleanse and moisturize our faces at least once a day, we do the same for our scalp much less often. This neglect can cost us. As regular cleansing and conditioning decreases, flakiness, excess oil, and even hair loss can increase, Adams says. While relying on dry shampoo for a week is tempting, it pays to prioritize your scalp-care routine.STEP ONE: SHAMPOO REGULARLYAnd by that we mean at least two to three times a week. “If you don’t cleanse often enough, fungus can grow at the hair follicle,”…
