If you’ve scrolled through TikTok lately, you’re For Your Page is probably filled with Alabama rush and gorgeous showers filled with must-have beauty products. One item we can’t get off our minds that’s made its appearance in hundreds of videos is Tree Hut’s Body Scrubs. Each scrub not only looks good in your shower, but it makes your skin feel incredible. And TikTok users aren’t the only ones to agree. Amazon shoppers also stand by the delicious scrubs, so much so, that they’re a best-selling item and one of the most wished for on Amazon’s lists.

The Tree Hut scrubs aren’t new to the beauty scene. They were launched in March of 2022, and recently gained even more popularity thanks to TikTok. Many have made the body exfoliators a staple in their skincare routine for years, and others were eager to add the pretty packaged scrubs to their own showers.

These scrubs are known for their fragrant scents that transport you to an instant vacation via your bath or shower. But their benefits for the skin are also worth talking about. Each formula contains real sugar, shea butter, and six oils that hydrate the skin. When you massage it into your skin, the sugar exfoliates and removes dead skin cells, while the shea butter moisturizes and promotes skin’s elasticity, which helps it remain tight and youthful. Once you rinse, your skin will feel new and revived. Plus, it will also have a velvety feel.

The multitasking scrub not only smooths skin, but it smells amazing, too. One shopper wrote, “This smells amazing. Just fantastic, like I’m on a tropical beach vacation in my shower if I close my eyes and drink enough piña coladas beforehand. But seriously, though, great smell and is good for exfoliating my feet and legs for self-tanner. It is moisturizing but not so much it makes the floor of the shower gross and slick after using it.”

“It’s my first time including sugar scrub in my skin care and I am so happy I did. This leaves your skin super soft. I was scared to use it at first cause I just asked myself “it’s just sugar how can it exfoliate” but no it will exfoliate you till you’re smooth. I just dont like the way it feels in my hands when im rubbing it in but it’s worth it. Scrubbed away lots and lots of dead skin from my body. I can see it brightening my skin over time. I use it once a week now paired with the body cream,” another shopper said.

According to one body scrub fan, it also helps prep skin before shaving. “This is by far my favorite sugar scrub brand! It leaves my skin so smooth after shaving, and it’s amazing quality. It also smells amazing. I would definitely recommend this!” they said.

If you haven’t tried the famous body scrubs yet, rundon’t walk. Each scent constantly sells out as soon as they go in stock.

Gwen Stefani Shouted Out This $9 Foundation That Gives Shoppers a ‘Smooth Flawless Look,' Even After 14 Hour Days https://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/2823256/revlon-colorstay-liquid-foundation/ https://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/2823256/revlon-colorstay-liquid-foundation/#respond Mon, 04 Mar 2024 21:50:00 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2823256 If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission.

Do you ever wonder how Gwen Stefani’s skin stays absolutely flawless, despite being under harsh lights and on stage for hours on end? Well, we may have just found the foundation she swears by for those long, arduous days.

“When you’re on stage you sweat and that’s one of your big worries. You want to be emotional and connect with your audience, rather than worrying about your makeup. That’s why the formula of the Revlon ColorStay Makeup is so incredible,” Stefani said to Cosmopolitan UK back in 2017.

She repeated her sentiments during an interview with Elle later that same year. “I think a lot of people will just keep piling one more make-up, more powder. Sometimes, if I have a really long day (like a 14-hour day filming The Voice) I’ll just wash it all off and start over again for that fresh-face feeling,” she said. “I only do my skin though, the ColorStay Foundation works so well I don’t need to re-apply elsewhere. It feels better than it looks though, you do pretty much look the same!”

And the best part? This foundation is only $9 on Amazon right now!

Buy: Revlon ColorStay Liquid Foundation $9, originally $15.99

The Revlon ColorStay Liquid Foundation is a nourishing and long-lasting foundation that’s perfect for the makeup wearers constantly on the go, and for those who don’t want to worry about touch-ups every other hour.

This vitamin E-infused foundation is said to be transfer-resistant, waterproof, and powerful enough to not have any oil breakthrough (which is miraculous for our beautiful oily-skinned readers)! Not only does it have SPF 15, but there are over 40 shades for you to find your perfect color match!

Now, not only does Stefani adore this, but this matte-finish foundation has over 22,000 reviews on Amazon at 4.5 stars. One shopper said, “this is the best foundation at a reasonable price. Totally worth it. You get a smooth flawless look. Also once applied you have a beautiful canvas to paint (so to speak). I buy this over and over.”

Another shopper added their face “Looks smooth and flawless all day,” adding, “Love my foundation, fits me perfectly. Very matifying for oily skin like me.”

Gemma Chan Shouted Out This $19 Mask With Over 29K 5-Star Reviews That Leaves Lips ‘Perfectly Plump, Juicy, & Hydrated’ https://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/2540148/gemma-chan-laneige-lip-sleeping-mask/ https://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/2540148/gemma-chan-laneige-lip-sleeping-mask/#respond Mon, 04 Mar 2024 20:45:00 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2540148 If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission.

Whenever Eternals star Gemma Chan hits a red carpet, you know she’ll be one of the best-dressed there and effortlessly rocking a red lip. What we’ve been wondering is, “what is the secret to her perfect red pout?” Well, thanks to a YouTube video, we finally figured it out! Back in Aug. 2021, Chan did a “Get Ready With Me” video for Vogue, specifically on how she does her iconic smudge-proof red lip look. She said in the video to prepare for a bold lip you need to prep with a lip mask. She then held up the iconic Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, saying she’s been “loving this one lately.”

Chan isn’t the only celebrity who loves the lip mask because, according to Page Six, stars like Iman, Kaia Gerber, Brooke Shields, Nina Dobrev, Sydney Sweeney, and even Kendall Jenner have sung its praises. But it’s not just a celebrity-loved product, because thousands of people are obsessed with the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.

Buy: LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask $19.20, originally $24.00

The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is an allure 2019 Best of Beauty Award Winner for its powerful moisturizing formula. Made with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, this leave-on lip mask is perfect for any lip type, super dry or otherwise.

With over 36,000 reviews on Amazon alone, it’s no wonder so many people swear by it for plump, moisturized lips. One shopper (of many) said they saw “immediate results,” saying, “One use, yesterday evening, and my lips look and feel so different I can hardly believe it. The hype is real. I will buying the other flavours to change it up a bit when this runs out, but that may be in while. I used a small dap of a finger (where is my applicator???) and it was too much, with some residue left on my lips in the morning. The scent isn’t too strong and it virtually has no taste, which is a good thing in my opinion.”

“In my opinion! I love them! I first use my holy grail which is Vaseline lip therapy then put the Laneige on top so my lips are perfectly plump, juicy, & hydrated in the mornings! This lip masks lasts me a year and that’s using it every single night without missing a beat,” another shopper said.

Per the brand, you typically use it by applying a good amount on your lips the night before and gently wiping it off the next morning if there’s any excess.

The Laneige masks come in five different types, with the original berry being the most popular. Unfortunately, the limited-edition pumpkin spice, peppermint, and mango are no longer available. However, if you’re not a berry fan, there are still the BTS gummy bear addition, sweet candy, and vanilla addition that you can still grab right now.

Sydney Sweeney always looks stunning, whether it be on the red carpet or in an at-home Instagram live session. It’s no secret that she’s nailed the glass skin look, and it’s also no secret she loves anything Laneige.

Sweeney previously told E! how much she loves the brand, and how much she adores their water overnight mask. “When I first started using this product, I had soft, glass-looking skin. It’s a life-changing product. I was like, ‘Can I put this on my entire body?’ I would say I have combination skin. It will get dry or oily at different points,” she said. “When it’s dry, I switch over to the Water Sleeping Mask.”

And thanks to Amazon, the normally $32 moisturizer is only $24!

Buy: LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask $24, originally $32.00

Also, the price is great. I was looking at other face masks, and some of them are over $100 which is insane.”

Another happy shopper called it a “hydration volcano,” saying, “….Overall, the LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask is known to provide deep hydration, improve skin texture, and give users a refreshed and radiant complexion.

If you’re someone who skews emotionally sensitive, it’s wise for you to take extra care to protect yourself emotionally. Here’s how that truth relates to sunscreen: While it’s crucial that all people wear sunscreen every day, folks who have sensitive skin benefit from being extra mindful that the products they’re using are effectively protecting (and not harming) them.

The 2 Main Types of Sunscreen—And Which Is Best for Sensitive Skin

All sunscreens have the same main core goal: to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. “Sunscreens work by preventing UV light from penetrating into the skin,” says board-certified New York City dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD. “UV light exposure causes free radical damage that harms the DNA of our skin cells, which ultimately leads to the development of skin cancers.” But, despite having a common goal, not all sunscreens are formulated to work the exact same way. There are two main types of sunscreen, and one is most recommended for people who have sensitive skin. 

What Is Chemical Sunscreen?

Chemical sunscreen works by absorbing the UV light and stopping it from penetrating the skin. chemical UV filters. These options tend to rub in more easily than mineral options, and are often less likely to leave a white cast. According to board-certified dermatologist Anna D. Guanche, MD, chemical sunscreen ingredients are also especially effective in waterproof formulas.

What Is Mineral Sunscreen?

Mineral sunscreens, also called physical sunscreens, work as a barrier, physically blocking the sun’s rays from penetrating the surface of the skin. These sunscreens sit atop the skin and are more commonly associated with white cast that can require some elbow grease to fully rub them in. (There are mineral formulations on the market, though, that aim to minimize or eliminate white cast. Dr. Zeichner says tinting helps provide more natural coverage.)

The Best Type of Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin

The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends using mineral sunscreen if you have sensitive skin—and dermatologists understand why. “Many individuals with sensitive skin have found that using chemical sunscreens leads to irritation that can worsen other skin conditions such as melasma, eczema, acne, and rosacea,” says New York City–based board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Michele Green, MD.

Ingredients to Look for in Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin

The American Academy of Dermatology (ADD) recommends people with sensitive skin use sunscreens with the active ingredients zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide, which may be less likely to cause less irritation to the skin than other common ingredients. 

Zinc Oxide

Zinc oxide is a compound that can help treat skin issues even outside of sunscreen needs. (Hint: zinc oxide is a common ingredient in diaper creams!) “It’s a soother and healer of the skin,” says Dr. Guanche. “It actually helps ease irritated skin, not trigger it.”

Titanium Dioxide

Titanium dioxide is another common inorganic filter found in mineral sunscreens that are well-suited for sensitive skin. The AAD recommends only sun-protective products including zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for use on children and babies older than six months—which should also signal that these are generally safe options for sensitive skin.

Ingredients to Avoid in Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin

Fragrances, Parabens, Sulfates, Alcohols

According to the AAD, folks with sensitive skin should avoid using products with fragrances, parabens, or the chemical oxybenzone in order to avoid irritation. And if the sunscreen in front of you has an ingredients list as long as a CVS receipt, you might consider that a sign that it’s not the best choice for sensitive skin. “Look for sunscreens with minimal ingredients, especially if you have a history of skin reactions,” says Dr. Guanche.

Testing a Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin

Regardless of sunscreen you select—and, yes, that includes products on the list below of best sunscreens for sensitive skin, according to derms—it’s important that you test to make sure it works for your skin. To make sure, test out any new product on a small area of your skin before covering yourself from head to toe. “You can apply a small amount to the inside of the forearm and see if you have any skin reaction,” says Dr. Green. “After a few days, you should be able to tell if the new sunscreen is irritating to your skin.” 

If, lo and behold, you end up irritated in any way, you should stop using the product. “If it is a chemical sunscreen, try switching to a physical sunscreen containing ingredients such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide,” says Dr. Green. “If it is a physical sunscreen, make sure that its formulation does not include any irritating ingredients such as fragrance, parabens, sulfates, or alcohol.” If reactions persist, your best course of action is to seek treatment with a dermatologist who can check out what’s going on and potentially conduct allergy patch testing. 

And after you’ve found a winning option that agrees with your skin? Lather up—every single day. “The most common mistake is to skip sunscreen altogether,” says Dr. Guanche.

Pros:

According to Dr. Zeichner, this mineral sunscreen option from Beauty Pie is non-greasy and helps “minimize shine and protect the skin barrier with argan oil and niacinamide.” And when you’re working out, minimizing excess grease is a winning property of your sunscreen.

EDITOR'S PICK

Saint Jane, Luxury Sun Ritual Pore Smoothing SPF 30

“I’ve been religiously using Saint Jane Luxury Sun Ritual SPF for about a year now, even though I probably have two dozen other sunscreen options (shopping editor life). I keep boomeranging back to it because of how effectively it blurs my pores and effectively doubles as a primer, leaving my skin dewy and healthy-looking, whether or not I choose to wear foundation. I have acne-prone skin with some rosacea, and this gentle mineral formula has never left me broken out or irritated — in fact, it makes my complexion feel more nourished at the end of the day.

Its star, botanical-forward ingredients include jasmine (this balances out sensitive skin prone to redness and inflammation), green tea (calming and fights free radicals), hibiscus (chock-full of anti-aging benefits), desert rose (for ultra hydration), and 10 percent zinc oxide (a derm-loving sunscreen ingredient that sensitive skin slurps right up).

It’s sheer, gives my complexion a filter-like finish, and rejuvenates skin even on the most dreary, dry, winter days. And, of course, it keeps my face protected. Oh, and bonus? The packaging is gorgeous.” -Gina Vaynshteyn, Senior Commerce Director

These St. Patrick’s Day Books for Kids Are Pure Gold https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/slideshow/2729731/st-patricks-day-books-kids/ https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/slideshow/2729731/st-patricks-day-books-kids/#respond Mon, 04 Mar 2024 18:00:21 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?post_type=pmc-gallery&p=2729731 If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission.

One of my kids’ favorite traditions — that I passed down to them from my own childhood — was the reading of our holiday books. It didn’t matter whether it was a major holiday like Christmas or a less widely-celebrated one; we had a small stack of books for each holiday, and only got them out once a year. There was just something so exciting about these “special occasion” books. It was something they (and I) always looked forward to, and it helped them get even more excited for whatever holiday was coming up. I remembered doing it as a child, and how much I’d loved it, so I was happy to share the tradition with them — and hopefully they will pass it on to their own children some day!

Whether this is a tradition at your house, too (or you’re trying to make it one!), or you just want to bring a little bit of Irish charm to your kid’s bookshelves, you can’t go wrong with these St. Patrick’s Day books for kids. They’re chock full of Irish legend and lore … and, of course, leprechauns! Shenanigans abound as kids learn about St. Patrick’s Day traditions via colorful characters and fun, engaging stories.

From retellings of classic Irish folktales to new tales of St. Patrick’s Day festivities and celebrations, we’ve rounded up some of our all-time favorite St. Patrick’s Day books for kids. Say “top o’ the mornin'” to our top picks, and share the Irish magic with your wee ones this March. Erin go Bragh!

This Oprah-‘Favorite’ Brand Has a Special ‘Mystery Item' Deal Where You Can Score $30 Drinkware for Just $10 https://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/2970021/corkcicle-mystery-item-deal/ https://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/2970021/corkcicle-mystery-item-deal/#respond Mon, 04 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2970021 If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission.

Over the last few years, it seems like blind boxes and mystery bag items have become more and more popular. While you can definitely find them in the toy section (hello, Squishmallows!), mystery items are showing up in the most surprising places. In fact, drinkware brands are getting in on it too! And this particular drinkware brand just so happens to be one that’s been featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things over five times since 2012.

Corkcicle is currently running a March Mystery Corkcicle promo where you can score a $30 drinkware item for just $10. The only catch is, you won’t know what you’re getting until it arrives at your door. It’s not only a fun offer, it’s a really good one as well. The brand makes seriously good canteens and tumblers that are aesthetically pleasing and actually do a great job at keeping drinks cold or hot. So you’re guaranteed to get a quality product that’s going to get a ton of use.

While the product description is very vague (naturally), it does state that you may receive multiples of the same product if you choose to buy more than one. Currently, there is no limit as to how many you can buy. At $10 a piece, we wouldn’t blame you for wanting to buy a couple for friends or family.

Plus, for just $10, you really can’t go wrong. After all, quality mugs, water bottles, and tumblers can cost $20-plus, and that’s on the lower end. While we don’t exactly know for sure what the mystery item is, Corkcicle’s wide range of products have left numerous customers super happy.

As one reviewer wrote about the Classic Tumbler, “Best tumbler ever. Perfect size; you get plenty to drink without being weighed down by a glass too large. Perfect shape! The tumbler is mostly round, with two flat sides that make the grip amazing. I have arthritis, so the feel and hold makes a big difference. Keeps everything cold, holds up well, and I love the rubber bottom piece that makes setting down your tumbler silent as opposed to the ‘ding!’ you hear with others. Very well thought out design that holds true in application. A+.”

FYI, the Classic Tumblers do cost around $30, so there’s a chance you may receive this as your mystery item! Again, we don’t know for sure, but you never know.

Another possibility is their best-selling Sport Canteen, which keeps drinks cold for up to 25 hours and hot for 12. It’s another shopper-loved item that has a ton of rave reviews. As one wrote, “The most practical, efficient water bottle ever. I’m so happy to have found this because now I bought three other bottles. I live in Las Vegas and regardless of 100+ degree weather, it maintains my water at the temp I filled it. If I pour hot water in there, you bet it’s gonna stay hot for hours. Highly recommend!”

This special deal is described as a “March Mystery Deal,” which means it will be on for a limited time only. If you love surprises and want to treat yourself to something fun, be sure to add the $10 Mystery Corkcicle deal to your bag today.
