Whether it’s vigorous exercise, embarrassment, an orgasm or extreme temperatures, our body’s response is one and the same: to blush.

Applied between toners and serums in the Korean multi-step skincare regimen, essences are regarded as a sort of mystical fluid, though they’ve long played an integral part in the Asian beauty routine.

Nail polish often looks uneven because the natural texture of my nails shows through. Can I fix this?
The visual appearance of our naked nails is actually a significant indicator of our internal health, so it’s important to pay attention to what’s up when they’re bare. It’s normal to have ridges on your nails that run up and down lengthwise, and these are not a huge cause for concern. Buffing nails prior to applying polish may seem like a logical solution, but this can actually weaken your nails. A better solution is to use a ridge filling base coat, such as Joe Fresh Ridge Filler ($6, at Joe Fresh), in order to create a smooth, even surface for polish application. A quick coat of this before you apply your colored polish will balance everything out and make ridges a thing of the past.
