"As far as SPF and makeup, as a professional and educational artist, I prefer makeup products with very little to no SPF in them. I believe you should be wearing an SPF on a day-to-day basis, but for special events — or anytime you will be photographed, especially using a flash — SPF should be avoided," she added.
Since then, Emma has had a minor surgery to expand her uterus opening so it can properly drain every month.
Promising review: "This helps keep skin moisturized and the snail mucin helps reduce my hormonal acne inflammation. It has a tacky lightweight that can almost be used as a primer under foundation or bb cream. This makes skin appear dewy and doesn’t pill up with most skincare products. Once it sinks in, you can’t even feel that you’re wearing it!" —Jennipede

Promising review: "At 36, when my skin breaks out these days, I just leave it alone and let it do it's thing. I read about these masks and decided to give them a try during a particularly annoying breakout. I am INCREDIBLY impressed. The red bumps, inflamed acne, all disappeared. My skin is left clear and soft." —LindsAcorn

NOTE: I shave my legs because I like the smooth feeling! Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you have to shave any part of your body that you don't want to. Hair is natural and beautiful!
Binging a great show together is a top-tier couple activity, but when you're already staying in so much, it can be easy to make it your go-to activity together. And even though you're maybe both offering up commentary and cuddling throughout, it can be difficult to fully connect.
Enter: No-TV nights, where you put on some music and eat dinner in a designated spot (that's not, as Esther Perel says, pushing your work stuff slightly out of the way.) It'll give you the chance to break any monotony in your routine and focus a little more on each other.
Thanks to a little more (or less) free time or routine, you might be feeling more turned on than ever — but your partner might be too stressed to even think about having sex at all. Or, vice versa: You could be getting flirty sexts at all hours of the day but barely muster the energy to type back a ";)".
To help, we asked an expert for advice. If you're struggling with very different sex drives right now, here are seven things you can try.
She added: "Another option she can do is to orally take a probiotic like Pro-B, which is composed of a mixture of lactobacilli, which are comparable to the 'good guy' bacteria of the vagina. And if she feels she needs to wash her vulvar area with a cleaning solution, she can use one of the RepHresh washes that are available, and will help her maintain a more acidic pH."
Kristin attempts to give herself a haircut for the first time (like many of us), but doesn't watch any tutorials beforehand.
He continued, "I’m not sure why I thought it worked like that, but apparently I’m not alone in my thinking. I saw a video on TikTok of a girl laughing about how her boyfriend though the same thing. I figured it would hurt a little to peel off, but period cramps hurt, too. So, I guess I thought pain was a part of it."
"In all honesty, I’m not sure I’d manage without having dance as an outlet. Not only is it fun and exhilarating after a full week of (potentially failed) experiments, but it enables me to make payments on my student loans which relieves a lot of my anxiety. However, managing my time and energy has taken some practice. At first, I was concerned that my dancing would suffer since I prioritize my research, but I realized it didn’t because I enjoy it so much. I also can’t neglect the fact that I rely on my go-go friends for help. Whether it’s covering my shift last minute because an experiment is taking longer than expected or providing me with the lip color or hair piece that I forgot – they’re always there to support and help me," she added.
Tinted moisturizer is basically a great 2-in-1 product. You get all the hydration and coverage without having to apply moisturizer and then blend out foundation. Talk about saving time and effort!

You can get some of her favorite picks from Sephora: the Laura Mercier for $47 (available in 20 shades) and the Amorepacific for $60 (available in five shades). She also liked Winky Lux's tinted moisturizer (get it from Winky Lux for $28; available in seven shades). She says her skin has never looked better, so read her full review here!
