I found the Versed Skin Soak Rich Moisture Cream after tossing out what was supposed to be my go-to summer moisturizer, because it didn’t heal my flaky skin and left a major white cast thanks to the SPF. The affordable Versed cream, however, is dramatically different from the one I was forced to get rid of. The cream is blended with key hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, algae extract, vitamin E, and squalane that replenish the skin’s natural moisture....

“I have very fair, very sensitive, and acne-prone skin. This helps significantly with making my skin feel smooth [and] hydrated, and most importantly, it takes down the redness,” writes one such reviewer. “I’ve recommended it to my friends, they all love it as well.” To buy: $11 (was $15); amazon.com. Those with rosacea and dry, flaky skin saw similarly exciting results, and some said the $11 moisturizer even bested products from pricey brands like La Roche-Posay and Kiehl’s (one shopper coins it “a secret treasure”)....

The Oak Essentials Restorative Mask is made with hydrating and anti-inflammatory organic honey (which the brand points out is a natural humectant, or something that keeps things moist) and free radical-blocking avocado oil, which is rich in vitamin C, too. The mask also has sea buckthorn fruit oil, which has vitamins C and E, is rich in omega-7 for collagen reproduction, and has beta carotene, an “antioxidant powerhouse” that naturally helps slow skin’s aging process....

As you stock and keep your pantry and refrigerator filled with your favorite cans and sodas, the go-to way to keep everything in line is to stack them. But when cans of any kind are loose, they have a tendency to tip over, roll, and it all quickly becomes a jumbled mess. To prevent any mishaps while still saving space, shoppers have found multiple uses for the Homeries can dispenser and organizer bins....

Start by emptying a jar of salsa (or substituting homemade salsa) into a large saucepan and cooking over medium-high heat. Add chicken, beans, broth, and cumin if desired. After bringing your mixture to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. That’s all it takes to make this dish. Afterward, you can customize it with whatever toppings you want, including onions, sour cream, tortilla chips, green onions, or frozen corn....

Pollio had been working for years to slowly incorporate texture and color into her white box of a home, where her husband, Dan, and their four kids were always running inside and out. “We also have a handful of pets—dogs, kittens, bunnies, and chickens—and this past summer our family worked on a garden together,” she says. “We really enjoy being outside and exploring.” As Pollio balanced these activities with her home’s transformation, she particularly wanted the epicenter of their comings and goings to be a place that showcased her classic style....

“This was meant to be used as the formal living room, thus the fireplace, so I originally began the design with that in mind,” says principal designer David Samuel Ko of Maison Ko. “But as my clients realized that they were working from home more and more and weren’t going into the office as much, we decided that it would be best used as an office.” The space is set right off the home’s front door, and its first impression was one of turquoise walls with white detailing along the wainscoting and trim....

For sizing context, I typically wear a 32DD bra size (though it can be 32DDD, depending on where I’m shopping), and I find the medium size of the Colsie bralette offers the perfect amount of coverage. The nylon-spandex material hugs me just enough to keep everything in place and provide adequate chest support—it’s taut, but not restricting, and remains impressively breathable. My other friends, 32D and 32C, also think the medium size fits them well....
