Millie Bobby Brown Is Launching Her Own Beauty Brand

Honest Beauty. Goop Beauty. Kylie Skin. Kora Organics. It seems like the list of celebrity-founded beauty brands grows longer and longer each week, and Millie Bobby Brown is joining the squad with her own Gen Z-focused beauty brand Florence by Mills.

The name comes from Brown's great-grandmother. The actress says she "felt like a brand about individuality and bravery and being truthful should be named after somebody who was all of those things." After sitting in makeup chairs for years, the Stranger Things star's face began to react to some of the products used, so she spent the past two years developing the "clean" skincare line that treats young skin with products such as the Zero Chill Face Mist, Swimming Under the Eye Gel Pads—her favorite product—and Like a Light Skin Tint.

"I wanted to come into the space because there was a gap in the market for young people," Brown said. "I guess I could never find anything that I liked to put on my face and it felt good. I’d take off my makeup and boom, another pimple would appear,” Brown told WWD. “There are multiple different products I’ve put on that weren’t good for me. Some of those were anti-aging, and I was 10 years old."

The teen queen made sure to consider Gen Z allowances when coming up with price points for Florence by Mills, which is priced from $10 to $34 and will be sold in online as well as in Ulta and Boots. On top of that, proceeds from sales will be donated to the Olivia Hope Foundation honoring Brown's late friend Olivia Hope LoRusso, who passed away in 2017.

Giant Italian-Style Hoagie

Wrap entire hoagie tightly in plastic wrap, then cut crosswise into 4 even sections. (The plastic wrap acts sort of like a girdle, holding in all of the meat, cheese, and veg so that they won't fly out you slice smaller segments. It also acts as insurance in case the parchment paper gets damp.) If you're taking your sandwich out into the world, wrap again in plastic or return to bag or sleeve that bread came in to hold it all together for easy transporting.

It’s an elegant, moist cake ideal for serving at a large brunch party (it’s worth timing to have it ready 30 minutes out of the oven) or with your morning coffee. If you don’t have pecans handy, walnuts make a great substitute.

Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Microneedling

For those looking to improve the look of scars, boost collagen, or encourage hair growth, microneedling can offer a minimally invasive solution. The practice dates back to 1995, but has gained significant traction in recent years thanks to new technology—and YouTube and Instagram, where the mesmerizing (albeit bloody) process stars in tens of thousands of videos. Here, dermatologist Macrene Alexiades , MD, PhD, who has published extensive research on microneedling, along with fellow Yale clinical professor and dermatologist Mona Gohara , MD demystify the multi-purpose treatment. Microneedling creates microscopic punctures in the skin. Simply put, microneedling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purposes of rejuvenation, explains Macrene. The most popular (and cost effective) microneedling device, known as a dermaroller , is made up of micro-fine needles that range in diameter from 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters. But, if the prospect of multiple needle wounds s...
