Few things equate with the spirit of self-care like a good sheet mask. On top of coercing active ingredients into the depths of our pores, they double as a veritable “Do Not Disturb” sign for our faces, fending off unwanted conversations and broadcasting to others that whatever household chore may require attention right now must […]

Some of the best beauty ideas out there are the ones that have been around forever, but you just haven’t tried yet. While I’ve experimented with waxing just about every body part possible, it wasn’t until a friend started raving about her monthly leg waxes that I decided to give it a go. Five sessions later and my skin has never felt smoother. (Also, you know those hard-to-shave spots, like knees and the back of your thighs? You better believe wax can take care of that.)

With summer just around the corner, now’s definitely the time to embrace leg waxing. To make sure you get the most out of your session, I sat down with Florence Gaven, co-owner of Toronto’s Fuzz Wax Bar, to find out her top leg waxing tips.

I’ve been hearing about vitamin C and its skincare benefits a lot recently. Is this a bandwagon I should jump on?
Your body doesn’t produce vitamin C on its own, which is why your mom always told you to eat plenty of fruits and veggies—they have lots of it, and it fends off the evils of a flu or cold. What you may not know is that your intake of vitamin C also contributes to the well-being of your skin in two major ways: by preventing environmental damage and by promoting collagen production to minimize signs of aging.

My boyfriend’s skin gets extremely irritated after he shaves, regardless of which cream or razor he uses. How can I help a guy out? Many men’s products are loaded with unnecessary fragrances (ocean breeze, anyone?) and fillers, which irritate pores left wide open post-shave. Help him sooth and maintain the moisture level in his skin […]

If you were anywhere near a television during the Vancouver Olympics, you’ll be familiar with the names Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. You’ll remember their killer moves, their gold medal for ice dancing, and most importantly, their undeniable chemistry. While the two haven’t dated since they were teens, there must’ve been millions of viewers across the country plotting their futures together. So it seems fitting that the two teamed up for the launch of The Body Shop’s new Body Butter Duos ($16 each, at The Body Shop locations across Canada), given that they’re constantly connected in our minds (and dreams). The newly available body butter duo offers the same old goodness but split into two, offering both normal- and dry-skin coverage. (They’re majorly delicious. We love macadamia.)

While at the launch last month, we had the chance to go über-fan on the dancing duo and quiz them on things that may or may not have had anything to do with how soft their skin is.
