Brands are constantly facing the pressure to provide more affordable options with these trending ingredients, which has led to a practice called “fairy dusting.” “Fairy dusting is a practice throughout the beauty industry and involves brands claiming they use a popular ingredient at its proper concentration level when in reality, they’re using a low percentage or trace amount of an organic, natural, or sustainably sourced ingredient,” says Rebecca Hamilton, co-CEO of BADGER....
What exactly is skincare microdosing? “Skincare microdosing refers to using lower concentrations of certain active ingredients to help improve tolerability,” explains Marisa Garshick, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City.

I took a sip of the cloudy elixir, a fizzy Pet Nat (that’s Pétillant-Naturel, or natural sparkling) more akin to kombucha than the crisp chablis I normally drank on warm spring nights....
What is arsenic, and what does it have to do with your food? What consumption, you ask? Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that is “widely distributed throughout the environment,” according to the World Health Organization (WHO), found in rocks, soil, air, and water. Arsenic is “highly toxic in its inorganic form,” WHO explains. Drinking contaminated groundwater or eating foods exposed to contaminated water (during irrigation or processing/manufacturing) are the primary ways humans can be exposed to inorganic arsenic....
Even certain baking goals actually became descriptions of certain skincare goals (anyone remember when “buttery skin” was trending circa 2019?). This personal realization might have popped right into my mind as I was whipping up a batch of fluffy pancakes, but it also helped click things right into place when I realized why Youth to the People’s Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream has been the savior for my oily skin this summer....

With type 2, one’s body either resists the effects of insulin or doesn’t produce enough of it to maintain normal glucose levels.
