No Matter Your Skin Concern, There’s A Clean Beauty Product For You

The clean beauty movement is multi-faceted, but to health and wellness coach Bianca Valle, it means using products “made with really mindful ingredients”—and without sulfates, phthalates, parabens and more. Valle says she likes to target her skin concerns individually, so she uses different products for different parts of her face. For her, the key is knowing which power-packed ingredients will deliver the best results. Here, Valle runs through eight of her favorite clean beauty products to combat everyday skin issues: dullness, fine lines, and dryness all included. Learn about each above, and shop them all from Sephora’s clean beauty category below.

BA's Best Tabbouleh

Rinse parsley under cold water and shake to get rid of excess water. Working in batches and starting at stem end, finely slice stems and leaves with your sharpest knife, making one even pass. This is so the parsley doesn’t get bruised or wilt and stays light in the salad (you should have about 4 cups).

Exclusive: How All of the '60s Hair Looks Were Created in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'

Today, Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood debuts, placing an all-star cast—including Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie—in 1969 Los Angeles, during the end of Hollywood's Golden Age. The characters are a mix of fiction (DiCaprio and Pitt play a made-up fading western TV star and his stunt double, respectively) and reality (Robbie plays Sharon Tate, the model and actress murdered by the Manson Family). The film is a visual feast—thanks in large part to the period-accurate styling. The '60s, after all, brought us some of the most iconic and enduring hair trends to date. Hair department head Janine Thompson —an industry veteran who has worked on countless titles like the Avengers franchise, Fast & Furious , and Bridesmaids —tells ELLE.com that Tarantino had crystal clear cues for how he wanted characters to look. Both of them are Los Angeles natives, so they pulled from memory, personal references, and actual Hollywood actors to inform every

How To Get Rid of Ingrown Hair Once and For All

Like being summoned for jury duty or having to do taxes, getting ingrown hair is one of those sad, unavoidable nuisances in life. As it turns out, anyone who has any body hair (on their face, their armpits, their legs, their, um, private parts) is susceptible to ingrowns. That essentially means everybody. To understand how to remedy an ingrown or prevent it from happening in the first place, you have to know how it’s formed. Basically what happens is, instead of growing upward and outward, an ingrown hair will curl back onto itself, creating a loop and becoming trapped below the skin’s surface. There are a few things that can trigger the problem: hair removal methods (shaving, waxing, applying depilatory creams) and environmental factors (sweating, oil secretion, and friction from wearing too-tight pants or working out). The chance of it occurring increases when the hair is naturally curly, coarse, and wiry. So, when an ingrown pops up, what do you do? Resist popping an ingrown or s

Why The Lob Is the Most Popular Reality TV Haircut

' Get out the throwing wine: ELLE.com is celebrating the best (and worst) of reality TV this week. Reality may be messy, but the hair on reality TV? Definitely not. Think back to 2008, when The Hills was so popular it made the cover of Rolling Stone , each girl (Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge, Whitney Port) clad in loungewear and, notably, the exact same hairstyle: long, loose curls. It was the look du jour of reality TV stars and, if you watch any of The Bachelor series, has maintained its staying power up to 2019. Why not? It's easy. Universally flattering. It feigns relatable "Real Girl effortlessness." But, recently a new hairstyle has steadily been taking over: The Lob. Defined as the length between long hair and a bob, the cut hits just above or right at the shoulders—and seems to be the new go to for reality TV queen bees. Kim Kardashian, Stassi Schroeder, Remy Ma Instagram The hair cut is inescapable any time you turn on the TV and th

How to Wear the Neon Eyeliner Trend: From Beginner to Advanced

Pietro D'aprano Getty Images We interrupt your Hot Girl Summer to bring you some important news: Neon eyeliner is officially thee beauty look of the season. Seen on the likes of Rihanna, Camila Mendes, and Kendall Jenner, vibrant colors and geometric shapes are replacing traditional going-out looks for something splashier. Smoky eyes found dead in a ditch. The black cat-eye is shook. Getty Images For someone who sticks to the same neutral hues every day (guilty), taking on a neon eye look can be daunting. Luckily, ELLE.com spoke to makeup artist Hayley Kassel , who has worked on campaigns for Fenty Beauty and ColourPop, to give us her best eye makeup tips and tricks. From beginner lined eyes to sophisticated shapes, here's how to master the colorful lid. The neon liner trend is all about self-expression. "Right now in the industry, we are all about freedom and representing yourself in any way that’s comfortable to you," Hassel explains. "The ca

Sure, Mini Fridges for Beauty Products Are Cute—But Do They Work?

They’re tiny, they’re cute, and they’re colorful. In light of mounting photographic evidence—1,900 #beautyfridge images on Instagram and counting—a packed beauty fridge seems to have superseded the bathroom "shelfie" as the new and preferred way to show off your horde of beauty products. It’s not hard to see the allure: miniature in size and lacquered in shades of cotton-candy pink, baby blue, or lavender, these shrunken-down fridges have a leg up on the traditional kitchen appliance in both desirability and Instagrammability. And when brimming with sheet masks, colorful skin care products, and rows of serums, it feels very much like a personal skin care store, housed in something like an adult, larger-than-life version of a Polly Pocket. The phenom has spawned beauty-dedicated fridges from new and old companies alike, including Makeup Fridge , The Cosmetics Fridge , The Beauty Fridge , FaceTory , Cooluli , and Saranghae . Editors have noticed, too. And so have dermatologis
