This line should go from where your outer bottom lashes begins, going toward the tail of your eyebrow, and ending just a tad before it hits your brow. “Take your ring finger and soften it up by lifting,” Spell says.

After a few weeks of this heightened sensitivity, I resolved to slow down and treat my skin, and myself, a little more delicately....

And now, with plenty of evidence on the benefits of a targeted multivitamin for whole-body health, there’s really no reason not to be taking one. Men and women have similar (often identical) vitamin and mineral (i.e., micronutritional) daily requirements. And at mbg, we really believe in gender-neutral multivitamins thoughtfully formulated to strategically cover both sets of needs....
