But just because you can sprinkle cinnamon on your oatmeal or squirt lemon in your water doesn’t mean it will jive with your skin. (Case in point: Poison ivy is from nature, but you would NEVER smear it on your face, right?) Yet there’s no shortage of at-home “recipes” available online touting the benefits of this-or-that natural skincare cure.

This Is What To Do When Your Skin Is Literally Flaking Off Your Body

Are you feeling like a reptile? We hear you: Dry skin is not only uncomfortable, it can make you feel all scaly, icky, and like a member of the animal kingdom. Unfortunately, it's ubiquitous during periods of cold weather and low humidity, making dry skin almost as much of a winter staple as scarves, mittens, and hot chocolate.

3 Ways Your Phone Is Ruining Your Skin (and What to Do About It)

It's becoming increasingly clear that while we can't live without our phones (a University of Missouri study found we're nervous and less happy and even perform worse cognitively when we're separated from them), we can't exactly live with them either; they've been blamed for everything from sleeplessness to loneliness.

Skin cancer holds the unfortunate distinction of being the world’s most common cancer. Though its prevalence around the globe is disturbing, there is some good news: When caught early, skin cancers are almost always curable.

You might already know that catching a cancer early means a more favorable prognosis. But it can be difficult to comprehend just how big a difference early detection makes with melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

Is It Possible to Reverse Sun Damage?

Summer has come and gone, and all of our beach umbrellas, pool toys and grills are destined to remain in the storage shed until next year. But as the weather cools down, some vestiges of the summer months just won’t disappear: including sun damage sustained by spending time at the pool or beach without adequate sun protection. Hopefully you’ve been careful this summer, but you may still have acquired some damage. If this year’s warmest months (and all of the previous summers) have left you with dark spots, fine lines and other signs of sun damage, it is possible to improve the situation.
