Algenist

Did you know that tons of your favorite beauty products are loaded with algae? But don’t run shrieking to your bathroom to throw it all out. The green, slimy gunk--which ranges in size from single cell organisms to giant sea kelp--has tons of potential benefits for your skin.

Emerge from this disgusting winter with your skin looking dewy and healthy. A dermatologist talks us through it, plus all the best products out there, no matter what your budget.

It's summer and I already have a bad farmer tan and some new freckles to prove it, thanks to a careless (and hatless) weekend spent in the suburbs with friends. It's time to stock up on sunscreen, and while it's not the sexiest beauty product out there, it's a necessary evil--unless you want wrinkles, weird dark spots...oh and don't forget cancer. We know--you've heard all this before. What you may not have heard is that the way you are using sunscreen needs to change.

Once again, our desks are overflowing with new skin care products, and this batch contains some really unique ingredients. Whether you're after something from beloved, tested brands or want something new and flashy, look no further than these spring launches.
