And I’m not kidding when I say the formulas are legitimately good?! We all know the basics of a healthy skincare routine: cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF.

Great news for pickle lovers! When people learn I’m a sex journalist, they often make the assumption that my sex life is all leather and lovemaking, kink and kissing. But just as the OG sex writer Carrie Bradshaw’s love life was mostly doom and gloom, so, too, was there a time when my sex life […]

But those are only two of the many benefits. Searching for a foundation when you’re prone to acne always feels like a bit of a gamble, admittedly.
