Should I be using shaving cream instead of soap to shave my legs?
A good shave is about so much more than what you use to shave with, especially if your legs are dry, sensitive, and suffering the wrath of winter weather. The act of shaving works as a natural exfoliant and opens the pores on your legs, giving them a good opportunity to absorb some healing and healthy nutrients. Read more »

I have a mild breakout on my shoulder, but I was planning on wearing a strapless dress to an upcoming cocktail party. Help!
Treating breakouts on your body requires different products than you’d regularly use on your face because the skin on your shoulders and back is thicker and therefore more difficult for products to penetrate. Reach into your shower and grab hold of your loofah—then throw it out! Read more »

Today, we’re going into the beautiful patent Yves Saint Laurent tote belonging to our sassy (but never brassy) beauty director Lesa Hannah! Inside, a matching YSL wallet (a twin to online editor Randi Bergman‘s), Chinese currency, a cowboy button, and a few amazing beauty picks. Natch.

I break out in tiny pimples after I wax my brows or upper lip. What gives?
Hot wax and cotton strips are great for removing facial hair from the cuticle, but they also leave pores wide open in their wake. Aestheticians often press a finger over raw skin before finishing with a dusting of baby powder, and both are to blame for blocking your pores with zit-forming impurities. Hedge that risk by treating the area with witch hazel, nature’s finest anti-impurity asset. Weleda‘s bottle of Refining Toner ($22, weleda.ca) has loads of it, plus lemon juice and vitamin C to clarify and calm the hostile situation.

Next up, we’re going inside the sizeable Michael Kors tote belonging to features editor, ex-Sydneysider and pleasantly accented Rani Sheen. Inside? A bike light, a curious-looking ball of balm and an eyelash curler. Naturally.

How can I aid my damaged skin after too much sun at the cottage?
If you’re suffering from pink shoulders and terrible tan lines, you owe your skin tons of hydration and something soothing as an apology for your lack of SPF protection. Weleda‘s Sea Buckthorn Body Oil ($28, weleda.ca) has loads of vitamins and essential fatty acids to add moisture back to parched skin, and the oil derived from Sea-Buckthorn berries is known for its ability to restore ill-treated skin cells. Serve straight up or blended with your favourite lotion after any amount of sun exposure.

While I would say I’ve dipped my toe—okay, it’s more like I’m sitting in up to my waist—in the green beauty pool, I’ve yet to fully submerge. There are still some questionable things that I’m in denial about and continue to use. But when it comes to products I use on my two-year-old daughter, I run a much tighter ship. These are a few of my new and old favourites. Read more »
