One user asked, "Now what made you say, let me go put some makeup on?" Another chimed in, "Why are people so afraid of aging?"

Check downtime, side effects, risks, whether you can fly afterward and whether the treatment is right for you - particularly if you're travelling (we've also offered advice on that below.) A good rule of thumb for judging how ethical a practitioner is? Notice how pressured you feel. If you're ever upsold, nudged toward extra tweakments or steered into something you didn't ask for, that's a red flag.

"Dr. Pimple Popper," you for sure know her videos-those kinda gross but oddly satisfying, up-close-and-personal clips of clients' pores as the doc extracts pimples, cysts, bumps and the epidermal like. Those videos have garnered the doc a massive online presence, with nearly 9 million YouTube subscribers and over 6.4 billion total video views, plus nearly 17 million followers over on TikTok and another five million on Instagram.

There is no such thing as a safe tan. The increase in skin pigment, called melanin, which causes the tan color change in your skin is a sign of damage.

Nutrafol consists of numerous ingredients that have some data supporting their use in hair loss, including saw palmetto, which helps with pattern hair loss.

In the short term, yes, facial patches can temporarily smooth fine lines by keeping skin still and locking in moisture. They may help prevent deepening wrinkles if used consistently.
