For all my sensitive skin girlies out there, this Vanicream review is for you. I discovered Vanicream maybe five or six years ago when my perioral dermatitis was flaring up around my mouth, and my itchy skin needed a really bland moisturizer to relieve the itching, irritation, and redness. I normally flock to my favorite…

As a beauty and lifestyle writer, I’ve tested dozens of lipsticks—some luxury tubes with expensive pricetags as well as a handful of drugstore picks.

Non-toxic makeup products usually don’t cause issues for me. I’ve been a beauty editor for a while now. I’ve tried a million…
