1. Desk Light Therapy Go easy on your eyes with the ambient light you choose. OttLite Wellness Series Glow LED Desk Lamp With Color Changing Base ($115, ottlite.com) uses an LED bulb that emits wavelengths of light that are closer to natural daylight than traditional LEDs. As a result, your eyes don’t have to work as hard to see, so you can conquer your in-box with less chance of eye strain. 2. Quench Your Skin The pool-blue look of MyChelle Dermaceuticals Bio-Firm Hydrogel Concentrate ($23, mychelle.com) is a clue to its potent hydration for skin: It packs 2 percent hyaluronic acid (capable of retaining twice its weight in water), plant stem cells, and moisturizing crocus chrysanthus bulb extract. And the gel formula never drips or slips, whether you spot…

There are myriad hues to play with this season, with bright reds, deep espressos, and even cobalt blues and emerald greens walking down the runways. So you can truly pick a color, any color. The finish, however, is more focused: Look for a lipstick (rather than a gloss or a balm) in a matte or velvet. “These have more pigment and impact, which makes them perfect for fall’s refined and structured styles,” says Kristy Noga, Givenchy’s national makeup artist. You’ll find the latest offerings to be surprisingly lightweight and more moisturizing than a classic matte lipstick. “Liquid hydrators and blurring pigments added to the formulas create a fresh feeling and a smooth result,” Noga says. You’ll find them in two types of formulas. The first, a liquid lipstick (like…

This is the season for you to reach your selfie skin goals. Your first step is finding a foundation that truly matches your skin color. If you’ve failed at that in the past—and so many of us have—then you’ve probably felt that foundation made you look worse. It’s worth giving it another go, because major brands now offer shade ranges that number in the 30s and 40s, vastly improving your chance of meeting the one. “To choose correctly, shop for foundation during the day, so you can swipe the options on your jawline and then check them in the sunlight,” says Bobbi Brown pro artist Tia Hebron. The foundation should also conceal pimples, dark marks, pores, and scars, so you can maintain a picture-ready complexion anytime. “For that, you…

When glycolic acid was introduced in the early 1990s, it was revolutionary for skin care. Known as an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), it was the first over-the-counter active ingredient you could use at home to accelerate dead-skin-cell sloughing and reveal the fresher, smoother, plumper skin underneath. Later we learned that the sugarcane derivative could also stimulate your skin’s collagen production. Then came salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that could dissolve sebum buildup deep inside pores and act like an anti-inflammatory, making it good for red, irritated, acned skin. As a result, glycolic acid became the gold standard for antiaging and salicylic acid became an anti-acne darling. That remained largely unchanged until recently. Now some skin-care products contain lesser-known acids like mandelic, phytic, tartaric, and lactic. Why the…

Hints of the Southwest abound on runway denim, including embroidered detailing and touches of leather, to capture the American aesthetic with an elevated twist.

Food Was My First Love “My mother is a chef, and my father is a musician, so music and food have always been a part of my life. Ten years into my music career, I was drawn to my desire to cook. I started shopping the markets of the cities I was performing in and eating solo in restaurants. I was going on a food tour from country to country.” The Moment That Made Me Go Pro “I saw a commercial for culinary school and enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu. I had some doubts, but once I knew the instructors supported my creative vision, I realized it was one of the best things I would ever do.” My Secret Sauce “Since I’m from Harlem, I’m inspired by the cultural…

Thyme: It can disinfect surfaces and support respiratory health too. Peppermint: Ingesting the oil may help relax the airways, boosting alertness and strength. (Be sure to consult an expert first.) Lavender: It’s widely known as a sleep aid. But sniffing it can also reduce the severity of a migraine, research shows. Bergamot: Just a whiff can reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol within 15 minutes, reports Complementary Medicine Research. Chamomile: When applied topically, this is a powerful anti-inflammatory. It also can improve sleep.…

At Brrrn studio in New York City, exercisers go for goose bumps, rather than dripping sweat, in superchilled 45- to 60-degree classes. There’s a good reason the room feels a bit like a meat locker, says cofounder Johnny Adamic: “Cooler temps have a real impact on your body fat.” At just below 65 degrees, the body begins to turn regular fat into calorie-burning “brown” fat, says Philip Kern, M.D., of the University of Kentucky. His research found that subjects had more than double the brown-fat proteins in winter than in summer. It’s unclear how long the bigger burn lasts after a chilly blast, but prolonged cold exposure helps activate brown fat more frequently over time, Dr. Kern says. If you can’t get to Brrrn, just set the AC to…

Break the Sit Cycle Americans sit about 10 hours a day, according to government stats. “Sitting is the killer for glutes,” says Michele Olson, Ph.D., an exercise scientist at Huntingdon College in Alabama. “For hours on end, those muscles can be totally unengaged.” That also means glutes are doing overtime in a lengthened position—not good for such stabilizing muscles. Standing helps, Olson says: The gluteus maximus plays a key role in keeping us upright, so get up to wake it. Mind Your Step Deficit “We rely on our glutes to walk, but we don’t do enough walking,” Olson says. A recent Stanford University study found that Americans average 4,774 steps per day, or 187 below the world average. Walking activates the glutes at 20 to 40 percent of their…

Aja Naomi King likes to push herself. Today, for instance, she spent three hours biking up a mountain. “It was straight uphill; there were bugs flying in my eyes; it was intense,” says the actor, 33, who stars on the show How to Get Away With Murder. “But I did it. Being able to accomplish something that you thought you couldn’t do is the best feeling.” Aja channels that same drive into the advocacy work she does. “Activism has become so important to me,” she says. “It’s about using your voice and actions to help effect change.” For Aja, that means being on the artistic advisory board of Opening Act, a nonprofit in Brooklyn, New York, that helps underserved kids build confidence and creativity through performance and writing, and…

There’s serious fun to be had in a new crop of sense stimulating beauty products. Designed to delight us in the way they smell, look, taste, or feel (or make us feel), these goodies provide escape from the daily grind. Consider L’Oréal Paris’s Paradise Enchanted Scented Eyeshadow Palette ($15, lorealparisusa.com), which features 12 warmly toned shadows, each with a fresh, fruity fragrance. “We wanted to build on the sensory factor in eye shadow application,” says Orrea Light, vice president of product development for L’Oréal Paris. Similarly, Sangre de Fruta’s Psyche-Flower Nectar Face Oil ($114, sangredefruta.com), which has a deep, herbaceous floral scent, was formulated to “indulge the senses while bringing out the best in your skin,” the company says. Companies are also using color and texture to pack extrasensory…

Make It Personal “I believe that if you have the means to give, you should be giving. And it’s not only about money. It can be your time or effort. Focus on what’s important to you, then find a group that does it. Be confident in your ability to make change.” Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back “One organization I work with, Best Buddies, creates opportunities for those with developmental and intellectual disabilities; amfAR, the charity I’ve been with the longest, has helped reverse the stigma of AIDS and HIV. I’ve learned that people are often afraid to reach out to those who are different from them. But once they do, they realize that we’re all more alike than they thought. When I participate in events for Best Buddies,…

It’s a word that speaks to our legacy as a publication dedicated to healthy living, but these three little letters have so much more meaning today, especially for women. In unprecedented numbers, we’re running for office, we’re running businesses, and yes, we’re running the world. To honor the achievements that so many women are making in virtually every area—from fitness, food, and fashion to politics, health care, and disaster relief—we’ve created a special feature called “Women Run the World.” It spotlights 10 amazing women who have taken a cause they’re passionate about and turned it into a purpose, making the globe a better, healthier place in the process. You’ll meet them on page 105, but here are some highlights.…

Anyone can pull it off—the only thing to decide is how bold to go. “Gold flatters all skin tones, and it doesn’t have to be over the top,” says Luis Casco, the global beauty ambassador for Mary Kay. “Darker complexions look great in bright yellow golds; if you’re lighter, you may want to lean toward true or rose golds.” Casco advises tapping the shade onto lids with a finger or a flat makeup brush for the most intensity; use a fluffy brush for a sheerer effect. Try Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color in Gold Coast ($8, marykay.com).…

With all the fun happening on your lips, cheek color will likely become a supporting player to your looks this season (especially compared with the defined contouring trend of the past couple of years). Its subtlety, however, shouldn’t be a reason to skip it. “Even a super sheer blush color enhances your complexion, giving it a fresh, youthful glow,” Lucero says. The key is to choose one that looks great on your skin color. More makeup brands are extending the shade ranges of their blush collections to help you do that, offering the palest of peaches for fair skin and the deepest of roses for dark skin (check out Glossier Cloud Paint in Storm, $18, glossier.com). The formula you choose is a personal preference, but Lucero opts for a…

WHAT MAKES YOU PRETTY HAPPY? For the busier-than ever mompreneur, it’s all about multipurpose products and pampering Sundays. Multitasking is a way of life for the actor, entrepreneur, and mom of three. Since giving birth to her son, Hayes, in December, Alba has completely relaunched her Honest Beauty brand. The updated product collection boasts improved clean formulas, new packaging, and lower prices, which make life easier for busy women. “I no longer have time to plan ahead,” Alba says. “I just handle things as they come now.” This is where her favorite product, Magic Balm ($18, honestbeauty.com), comes in. It’s one fix for every type of skin surprise. “I put it on dry lips, tap it down the bridge of my nose and along my cheekbones to add a…

A couple of times a week, Sam Kass visits his local fish vendor. He asks a lot of questions before buying. “I find out what just came in or what looks good to them. And since they know a lot about cooking fish, I’ll solicit ideas.” Then he requests a smell test. “If it has a fishy aroma, put it back,” he says. “Fish should smell like the ocean.” Also a must: Knowing where his fish comes from. Kass always chooses sustainable varieties and buys American because the safety protections are tighter. If he has any concerns, he consults the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch app on his phone. Finally, once he’s got a package of flounder, cod, fluke, or black sea bass, Kass picks up some seasonal vegetables…

Get a jolt without the jitters. That’s the promise behind the latest power brews, which contain natural pick-me-ups like red reishi, ashwagandha, maca powder, roasted chicory, or B vitamins—but no actual caffeine. These drinks energize you, “but they’re less likely to make you feel shaky or keep you up at night,” says Meg Jordan, Ph.D., the chair of integrative health studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Look for caffeine-free lattes on café menus, or mix your own using Element Herbal Coffee, which is made with roasted chicory and ashwagandha ($12, herbalelement.com).…

Prep Your Body for Action During an adrenaline rush, your system releases the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol, explains Marla Deibler, a clinical psychologist in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. They get you ready to act. But if your cortisol spikes too high, it can overwhelm you or make you feel stressed. Working out before a big event will regulate your levels of the stress hormone, making the experience more productive overall, Deibler says. Maximize the Rush Once you’re feeling the buzz, you can make the most of it with a simple mental trick. “Take a few seconds to appreciate what’s happening to your body,” says Elizabeth Lombardo, Ph.D., the author of Better Than Perfect. Focus on your heart rate or breathing speeding up, and remind yourself that it’s a…

I’ve always had a knack for rhythm and beats. Jumping rope is where I find myself. I was 32 before I picked up a jump rope, but I was instantly hooked. I loved the feeling of pumping my house music and jumping for 60 to 90 minutes. Soon I began entering jump rope competitions I saw on ESPN—even after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. In 2015, I entered the Arnold Classic, my first international competition—it’s the Super Bowl for jump ropers. But at 48 years old, I was competing with 17- to 21-year-olds because there were no other jumpers in my age category. The looks I got when I took my spot at the sports complex that exhilarating day in Madrid—you could almost hear them thinking, What’s the old-timer…

How do you navigate weekends, with all the social eating and unstructured time? —@rossi_lauren via Instagram Log a power five! Take just five quiet minutes on Saturday morning to mentally preview your weekend—the timing of your schedule, meals out, miscellaneous obligations—then slot in some conscious decision-making. Check out the menu before you go to a restaurant, so you can make mindful choices. If you’ll be out and about for a while, throw a snack in your purse to tide you over till your next meal. Also, arrange your errands in the most efficient order: Start with the one farthest from home, then hit all the stops on the way back. You’ll make the most of your day—and maybe even open up time to invest in yourself. As for getting…

“I was at a networking event when I thought, What if we could change the game for women in developing countries by connecting with them? I developed a campaign that enabled women in the U.S. to raise funds for water projects in places that have no running water, through events like dinners and fitness classes.” —Kayla Huff, founder of the Her Initiative and Fit for Her “My family was homeless when I was in high school, and I met women who told me about skipping job interviews because they didn’t have menstrual products. That was my catalyst. Almost five years later, we distribute period products to 185 places in the U.S. and overseas.” —Nadya Okamoto, founder of Period “I discovered that once the first responders leave after a disaster,…

If you’re clinging to the end of the summer, not ready to say goodbye to the orange pedicure, consider these beauty-refresh ideas your motivation to move forward. The creative minds at work behind this season’s hottest runway looks and most exciting product launches have gone above and beyond: Makeup is back in a big way, with everything from matte nude to hot-fuchsia lips, creamy rust nails to metallic glittery tips, and more. “The wide range of looks is a sign that nobody wants to tell anyone what she or he should do when it comes to beauty anymore,” says Sarah Lucero, Stila’s global executive director of creative artistry. Declaring a single trend is limiting, and it can get stale fast in our social media–obsessed world. Instead, experts have embraced…

The skin struggle is real come fall: Whatever issue you’re most prone to—acne, eczema, psoriasis—is often at its worst now. “These flare-ups are usually caused by the stress that summer is over and your schedule is packed again,” says Doris Day, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. Even tiny changes in your routine (sleeping less, drinking less water, frowning at the news all week) are enough to spur a breakout, says dermatologist Sonia Batra, M.D., a co-host of the TV talk show The Doctors. Environmental stress is a contributor too. Pollution, UV rays, and yo-yo temperatures weaken your skin barrier. To prevent and repair damage from all these intrinsic and extrinsic stressors, as well as up your hydration level for fall’s drier weather, Dr. Day recommends a serum…

A double dose of denim always feels classic. Modernize the look with edgy patchwork and contrasting washes that read more current than campy. If you’re wearing one denim wash from head to toe, break it up with a flash of midriff or a pop of color. Or switch up your tones and rock a darker wash on bottom. The so-called Canadian tuxedo has never felt this cool.…

We’re of the opinion that hummus is deliciously perfect any time of day. And the new morning friendly strawberry, blueberry, cherry, and mango versions from Lantana Foods back us up on that.

Once confined to yoga classes and massages, essential oils have officially entered the mainstream. Made up of superconcentrated aromatic compounds that have been distilled and extracted from plants, the oils surged in popularity when scientists discovered they have compelling and wide-ranging effects on our health, thanks to substances known as odorants. “More than 50 odorants from essential oils have recently been identified and shown to do things like improve sleep, reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, and even accelerate skin regeneration,” says Hanns Hatt, Ph.D., a professor in the department of cell physiology at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, who is pioneering much of the recent research on odorants. Powerful essential oils are catching on, and they’re popping up all over—in beauty products, drinks, deodorants, and cleaning solutions. Here’s your…

Take These Nutrients Before Bed Specific vitamins and minerals that help you sleep better may improve the function of your body’s natural repair systems, says Jill Carnahan, M.D., the founder and medical director of Flatiron Functional Medicine in Louisville, Colorado. Look for a supplement that contains the neurotransmitter GABA or melatonin, which relaxes you, and magnesium or zinc, which calms the nervous system. Try Twinlab Nightly One ($22, amazon.com), a p.m. multi. Power up Your Skin Care “Skin temperature rises slightly at night, so you absorb ingredients better,” says David E. Bank, M.D., a Shape Brain Trust member and a dermatologist at the Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery in Mount Kisco, New York. He suggests using a product with one or more of these three substances: retinol…

Behold the most efficient workout circuit: no weights necessary, not much floor room to clear, zero need for anything else that can make exercise a nonstarter. “By facing the different parts of the chair—back, sides, front, and seat—you essentially have five exercise stations,” says trainer Sara Haley, the creator of the Expecting More prenatal fitness video program and a mom of three, who has made the common chair her workout go-to. Plus, the chair functions as a spotter and an added challenge for body-weight moves. “For example, most people don’t get their knees nearly high enough doing high knees, but if you turn them into toe taps on the chair seat, your heart, legs, and abs will work harder,” Haley says. As for push-ups, the elevated surface offers a…

The Politico Alison Désir, founder of Run 4 All Women IN THE BEGINNING: “I set up a GoFundMe with friends to run from New York to the Women’s March on Washington in January 2017, and I raised $100,000 for Planned Parenthood. When we got home, I started Run 4 All Women to raise money for candidates who support women’s rights.” THE HURDLES: “The logistics of organizing a 2,018-mile cross-country run [for the 2018 congressional elections] are huge. We have ambassadors leading runs in 11 U.S. House and six U.S. Senate districts, and we’re encouraging people to join us. But the actual bigger challenge is wondering, Am I qualified to do this? Realizing how powerful this project is got me past that.” HER BEST ADVICE: “The moral of the story…

toss fruit into your summer rosé The favorite sip this time of year makes a flavorful poaching liquid that works beautifully with fish or chicken. Choose a dry rosé; add some plums, shallots, and spicy chile peppers to it; and simmer on the stove for a sweet and savory broth that gives some complexity to a hearty fish like salmon. Best of all, this elegant but easy dish comes together in 20 minutes flat. Add Heat to Raw Veggies Just three minutes in a hot skillet gives vegetables traditionally served raw, like celery and cucumbers, deeper, more distinctive flavors. Finish with a splash of lemon juice for brightness, and serve with seared scallops and couscous. Pro tip: Choose dry-packed scallops, which have a naturally sweet taste. Infuse a Subtle…
