So, I reached out to a handful of dermatologists about the underlying cause of these pesky red bumps and how to eliminate them in the most natural way possible. Typically, KP appears on the backs of the arms, the fronts of the thighs, and sometimes on your butt, but it can also occur on your face (your cheeks in particular). And loads of people are affected—an estimated 50 to 80 percent of all adolescents and approximately 40 percent of adults....

In other words, when these incidents stand alone, it’s easier to move on from them relatively unscathed without it detrimentally altering your way of being or relating to others. However, when these events are strung together, we begin to form a mosaic colored with a demonstrated history of repeated, emotional wounding. “If not addressed, these subtle hurts build up over time and undermine a person’s view of their self-worth and self-esteem, in turn compromising the capacity for healthy relationships,” holistic therapist Sarah Rocha, LPC and CCTP, tells mbg....

If there’s anything to know about Libra as a sign, it’s that it’s very relationship-oriented and strives for peace, harmony, and justice. It’s actually represented by the scales—the only astrological sign symbolized by an inanimate object—which is a reflection of Libra’s objective and fair mindset. So, to have a Libra moon, then, means Libra values and traits will heavily influence the way you feel about yourself and how you relate to other people on an emotional level....

While I’ve opened the (freezer) door to a few frozen staples that make it easier to eat a nutrient-packed meal on a budget—like frozen fruits and vegetables—I still adamantly avoid the frozen food section at my local grocery store. You won’t catch me munching on a late-night frozen pizza or mac ’n’ cheese, as they’ve always tasted subpar to the items that I could cook myself. I’ve never been happier to eat my words (literally)....

The good news: There is something scientists have identified that may be the key—or at least part of it—to keeping your mind and body aging in a healthy way. It’s a coenzyme called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), and it’s starting to generate some buzz. One way NAD+ seems to exert its health-promoting properties is by helping sirtuins do their job3. Sirtuins are a class of proteins that regulate biological pathways, turn certain genes on and off, and help protect cells from age-related decline....

And it’s not that gluten-free fish and chips don’t exist, either. They do! It’s all those other fish and chips restaurants clogging up your search results that make it time-consuming; we had to wade through pages of restaurants and read dozens of reviews before we found one that had a gluten-free option. The reality is that more than 30 million Americans have a food allergy, and many more have food sensitivities or food groups they avoid for health or ethical reasons....

In Palmistry, the “active” or dominant hand reveals opportunities and challenges in your present and future, whereas you nondominant or “inactive” hand reflects your potential and longer-term plans. If you want to keep track of your palms over time, she also recommends keeping a palmistry journal to record what you find—because, yes, it will change. You can do this by tracing your hand and drawing in what you see, always remembering to date the diagram....

But exfoliation, as we know, requires appropriate care and a delicate balance. So when and how should you exfoliate during your shave routine? Ahead, find everything you need to know for an easy, smooth glide. Razor bumps and ingrowns happen when that free edge of hair becomes trapped within the skin, so it curls downward and grows back into the skin instead—resulting in sore, inflamed, pimple-like spots. Those with coarser hair are more likely to get ingrowns, but “it is also more likely to happen if there is skin covering where the hair is growing,” says board-certified dermatologist Hadley King, M....

That’s where these yoga poses come in; they’re comfortable shapes you can hold while watching TV so that your body’s in proper alignment. You can try them out in any order, moving on to another when one starts to get uncomfortable. (If you’re watching a three-hour movie, you’ll probably be able to try them all.) Sit in these opening, releasing postures every day, breathing deeply and allowing yourself to sink into the asanas, and after a week or two, you’ll notice that as you go about your day, you feel more comfortable, alert, and aligned....

It’s time to kick-start your smooth, bump-free shave experience. Let’s get into it. Not all ingrown hairs are the same, though. “Sometimes it is due to having curly hair that grows back into the skin, which is a condition called pseudofolliculitis barbae....

This is what I’ve been focusing on over the last few weeks to support my immunity: Vegetables are the foundation of a nourishing diet, and they provide so many immune-supporting nutrients like vitamin C (red bell peppers, broccoli, and spinach) and carotenoids (carrots, sweet potatoes, and kale). Aim for two servings of fruits and eight or more servings of vegetables a day! (A serving is half a cup.) Berries, pasture-raised meats, and nuts and seeds are also nutritional powerhouses that will hold up great in the freezer, so you can stay stocked without going out....

If I’m honest with you, I was far more concerned about the sprinkled breakouts on my chin and jawline, but the glare-inducing forehead and nose weren’t exactly confidence-inspiring. Often, I feel at a loss for where to turn for hydrators that keep my oil in check and the dry patches dewy. “Combination skin is part oily, part dry,” says board-certified dermatologist Jeanine Downie, M.D. “Typically, it’s oily in the T-zone and drier on the cheeks....

While there’s no magic number for how much sleep we all need, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends that adults get at least seven hours of shut-eye every day. The quality of your sleep is essential too, and you’ll want to spend around 20% of your snooze in deep REM sleep, where most dreams occur, memories are consolidated, and the brain recharges. It sounds doable enough, but busy schedules, stressful routines, and other facets of modern life mean that about one-third of Americans aren’t getting enough sleep1 on a consistent basis, and 70 million Americans2 suffer from sleep issues, according to the CDC....
