I’m a 34-year-old female who is wondering about Rogaine. I’ve been noticing thinning in my hair and had the idea to try it out for a while. But no one ever talks about it, so I’m wondering if it even works. If it helped, wouldn’t I hear about it at least a little? The algorithm seems to know everything else I’m thinking!

There’s a reason why winter is commonly referred to as “laser season,” and that might have a little something to do with “hot girl summer.” If you spent May through August soaking up rays, living your best sun-kissed life (slathered in SPF, we hope!), then you’re probably due for a skin reboot. Excess sun exposure can trigger dark spots, newly-developed fine lines (we see you, crow’s feet), and dry, uneven texture, so if you’re experiencing any of these skin concerns, there’s a laser treatment out there that can help.

Complicated name, equally complicated heat in the comments section. If you’ve been paying attention to the recent controversies on #HairTok, a quick scroll will show videos warning about the dangers of using DMDM hydantoin in your shampoo. Some users claim that the ingredient can lead to hair loss or even cancer, citing class action lawsuits against certain brands that used DMDM hydantoin as evidence.

As people age, their skin naturally loses volume and elasticity, and collagen production slows. This, combined with years of sun exposure, stress, and other environmental damage, leads to skin laxity, wrinkles around the eyes, drooping of the cheek, prominent nasolabial folds, and jawline sagging and loss of contour.

Do you know anyone who takes spironolactone? If you’re a woman in your mid-20s, chances are you probably do. This medication is used off-label to treat hormonal acne in women, a skin condition 50.9% of women in their 20s and 25% of women in their 40s struggle with—plus, research shows this kind of “adult acne” can persist even after the age of 501. Men can experience hormonal acne as well, but it’s much more common in women, especially in adulthood.
