Roche Posay: The Spa-Town Pharmacy Brand, Sorted By Skin State

Roche Posay started as a spa town clinic and grew into the pharmacy brand dermatologists keep naming. Here is how I would sort the range by skin state, from Toleriane cleansers and Effaclar treatments to Cicaplast, Lipikar and Anthelios sunscreen.

Cashmere Cardigan

Cashmere Cardigan

A cashmere cardigan is quietly becoming the piece fall outfits get built around, doing the job a blazer or coat used to do without asking for as much ceremony. Cashmere in particular means the cardigan can go from base layer to outer layer without ever looking like an afterthought.

Moschino Toy Boy arrived in 2019 as Jeremy Scott's first men's fragrance for the house, and it sent a lot of people looking for rose that does not smell like a grandmother's garden. Here are the rose and pink pepper bottles, the woody ambers and the evening scents I would reach for, for yourself or for someone you shop for.

Why Your Outfit Looks Borrowed

Why Your Outfit Looks Borrowed

An outfit can be entirely correct and still read as someone else's. The reason is usually that it arrived finished, copied whole from a picture, with no decision left in it. Below, three categories where a small change of your own does the work: shirting, outerwear and shoes.

The Five-Second Office Lip

The Five-Second Office Lip

The five-second office lip is a tinted balm, a soft pencil or a balm lipstick you can put on without a mirror. These are the easy, natural shades I would keep in a desk drawer for the whole season.

Kitsch shampoo started as a hair tie business in a Los Angeles apartment and grew into a line of solid bars. Here are Kitsch's shampoos, the matching conditioner bars and my other picks from the brand, from the soap dish to the hair ties it started with.

Biolage Shampoo, Masks And Leave-Ins: A Salon Line Worth Knowing

Biolage launched in 1990 as a salon brand built on the idea that a shampoo can feel like a spa visit. Here is how I would pick between Hydra Source, Strength Recovery, Color Last and the rest, plus the masks, leave-ins, other salon conditioners and scalp treatments that sit beside them.

The Dyson Hair Dryer, Four Years of Engineering and One Very Quiet Handle

A Dyson hair dryer arrived in 2016 after four years of development, and it changed what people expect a blow-dryer to sound and feel like. Here are the Supersonic Nural colors, the other dryers people line up beside it, and the sprays I put on damp hair first.

Tailoring, Fringe and Lace for Fall

Tailoring, Fringe and Lace for Fall

Sharp tailoring mixed with fringe and lace is one of the most interesting combinations of the season. This edit covers black blazers, fringed dresses and skirts, black lace and crisp cotton shirts. Pair something structured with something soft for the best balance.

Tangle Teezer Was Turned Down on Television and Sold Anyway

Tangle Teezer Was Turned Down on Television and Sold Anyway

Tangle Teezer began with a hairdresser's lightbulb moment in 2003, was turned down on a TV pitch show, and went on to win a Queen's Award. Here are its four best-known brushes, other paddles and detangling brushes worth a look, and the leave-in sprays that make knots let go.

Translucent powder sets makeup and cuts shine without adding color, as long as you use a little and press it in. Here are the loose powders for setting, the pressed ones for touch-ups, and the puffs and brushes that make the difference, plus a quick flash photo test before any big night.

The Puffer Vest Is Still the Easiest Fall Layer

The Puffer Vest Is Still the Easiest Fall Layer

The puffer vest started as outdoor gear and became the layer everyone owns. These are 24 down and quilted puffer vests, from heritage outdoor names to dressier down and cropped athletic cuts, with how I would wear each one this fall.

Peptide Serum Is the Low-Drama Step Most Routines Are Missing

Peptide Serum Is the Low-Drama Step Most Routines Are Missing

A peptide serum is the low drama step most routines are missing, gentle enough to sit next to almost anything and built for slow, steady results. Here are the serums, the moisturizers with peptides for fewer steps, and the lip and eye treatments that suit the thinnest skin.

Pink and Red Outfits

Pink and Red Outfits

Pink and red together used to be a rule to break. Now it's the most joyful pairing in my closet. Pink and red pieces, plus shoes and bags in both.

Drop Earrings Know How to Hold the Room

Drop Earrings Know How to Hold the Room

Drop earrings finish an outfit without asking the rest of it to compete, working through sculptural brass and resin as easily as sterling silver or a gold-tone finish. They read as evening pieces even against something plain, since a strong drop earring can frame a face on its own.

Olive and June Press On Nails, From a Beverly Hills Salon to Your Kitchen Table

Olive and June Press On Nails, From a Beverly Hills Salon to Your Kitchen Table

I built an edit around Olive & June press-on nails, the glue and tab press-ons from a salon founder who used to trade equities. Systems, single shades and the small extras that get them on and off cleanly.

Guasha Tool Guide: Stones, Oils and Cooling Helpers

A guasha tool has roots in traditional Chinese medicine, and the facial versions are smooth stones you glide over oiled skin. Here are the stones I would look at, the face oils that give them slip, and the rollers and cold tools that sit beside them.

The Best Vitamins for Hair Growth Are a Six-Month Commitment

The Best Vitamins for Hair Growth Are a Six-Month Commitment

The best vitamins for hair growth take about six months to judge, because hair only grows around half an inch a month. Here are the supplements and gummies, the scalp serums, and the thickening shampoos and conditioners that make the hair you have look fuller while you wait.

Zinc Oxide Sunscreen, for People Done With Chemical Filters

Zinc Oxide Sunscreen, for People Done With Chemical Filters

Zinc oxide sunscreen sits on top of skin as a physical barrier instead of absorbing into it the way chemical filters do, which is why it became the default recommendation once concerns about chemical filter absorption started circulating widely. That mechanism also explains the occasional white cast the category is known for, since the mineral itself is what reflects light. These four formulas show how far the finish has come since the thick white paste era.

Vichy Skincare: Mineral 89, LiftActiv And The French Pharmacy Alternatives

Vichy Skincare: Mineral 89, LiftActiv And The French Pharmacy Alternatives

Vichy began in 1931 as a spa doctor's idea that skin is a vital organ, and it still sells through the pharmacy counter. Here is how I would build a routine from Mineral 89, the LiftActiv serums and the daily sunscreen, plus the French brands and hyaluronic acid serums worth putting beside them.
