Nearly half of Americans would go into debt to maintain their beauty routines, survey finds | Local News

(WDRB/InvestigateTV) — Forty-six percent of Americans say they would go into debt to maintain their beauty routines, according to a new survey by Zenoti, a beauty and wellness software company.

The survey of 1,000 adults also found 22 percent are cutting back on groceries to afford beauty spending, and 33percent said workplace stress and burnout is pushing them to increase their wellness routines.

Sarah Simonelli of Zenoti said consumers are not abandoning their beauty regimens — but they are becoming more deliberate about how much they spend.

“They’re not willing to sacrifice, because that means sacrificing their own wellness, their self-esteem, how they look and feel about themselves as they’re going throughout their daily lives,” Simonelli said. “And the value and importance of that is significant, especially — the beauty business has been around for decades, if not centuries.”

Rather than cutting beauty routines entirely, many consumers are adjusting how and when they spend. Simonelli said visits are being spaced out to reduce costs, and more people are signing up for memberships in search of better value. Use of “buy now, pay later” options to cover services is also on the rise.

“Thirty-two percent, we’re seeing, are actually trading down to a more comfortable price point — where maybe years in the past they were investing or indulging in high luxury services,” Simonelli said. “Now they’re thinking a little bit more practical so that it’s tangible and impactful but not overstretching their beauty spend.”

At-home beauty treatments are becoming increasingly common. The survey found 44 percent of respondents are doing at-home facials, 43 percent are coloring their own hair at home and 33 percent are opting for at-home waxing instead of professional services.

Stellar Beauty Co. Launches to Redefine Skincare for Active Girls - Las Vegas Sun News

Stellar Beauty Co. Launches to Redefine Skincare for Active Girls – Las Vegas Sun News

admin 0 Comments

SAN ANTONIO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jul 9, 2026–

Stellar Beauty Co

.
officially launches today with a mission to redefine what skincare looks like for the next generation. Created by 12-year old athlete and founder Stella Dorazio, the brand introduces a collection of dermatologist-tested skincare products designed specifically for active girls and growing skin – bringing together gentle ingredients, mineral sun protection, and healthy habits in one easy-to-follow routine.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260709743485/en/

Stellar Beauty Co.

Inspired by Stella’s own experience balancing sports, school, camps, and everyday adventures, Stellar was born from a simple realization: while the beauty industry has embraced the growing interest in tween skincare, there were few options created specifically for girls with active lifestyles. Rather than adapting products made for adults, Stellar was developed from the ground up to support what the brand calls “Active Skin” – skin exposed to sweat, sun, chlorine, wind, and the everyday demands of growing up.

“Stellar started because I wanted skincare that felt like it was made for girls like me,” said Stellar Beauty Co.’s Founder, Stella. “I wanted products that were fun and easy to use, but also gentle enough for growing skin and designed for all the things I love to do. I hope Stellar helps other girls build confidence through simple, healthy habits and reminds them to always shine as themselves.”

Stellar Beauty Co.’s debut collection features four daily essentials:

  • Passion Pop Smash Cleanser

    ($17)
    – A gentle, hydrating cleanser formulated to effectively cleanse without stripping the skin barrier.

  • Coco Rush Punch Moisturizer

    ($18)
    – A lightweight daily moisturizer that delivers lasting hydration while supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

  • Splash Face Mist

    ($16)
    – A refreshing, after-sun facial mist designed to instantly hydrate and comfort skin after outdoor activities.

  • Glow Guard Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50

    ($27)
    – A broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen featuring 17.5% zinc oxide, SPF 50 protection, up to 80 minutes of water resistance, and a sheer, no-white-cast finish.

Every product is dermatologist tested and developed with Stellar’s proprietary Glow-Safe Formula™, prioritizing gentle, age-appropriate ingredients while excluding retinoids, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and other unnecessary actives often found in products designed for adults. Across the collection, barrier-supporting hydration technologies, antioxidant-rich botanicals, and mineral sun protection work together to help keep growing skin healthy, comfortable, and protected.

Beyond its formulas, Stellar Beauty promotes ingredient transparency through its Glow Strong. Shine Bright.™

approach, breaking down what key ingredients are and how they support growing skin in clear, easy-to-understand language so girls and parents can feel confident in every Glow-Safe Formula™.

As conversations around tween skincare continue to evolve, Stellar offers a different perspective – one rooted in wellness rather than beauty standards. Instead of encouraging complicated routines or trend-driven ingredients, the brand aims to help girls build healthy habits centered on cleansing, hydration, and daily sun protection.

“Skincare shouldn’t feel intimidating or be about chasing perfection,” said Stella. “It’s about taking care of yourself, feeling confident, and creating routines that help you feel your best.”

Stellar Beauty Co. is available beginning today, July 9, 2026, exclusively at

What is a toner and should I be using one? – The Irish News

What is a toner and should I be using one? – The Irish News

admin 0 Comments

‘Toner’ is one of those buzzwords you hear when experts discuss basic beauty routines, but what it actually does is often skimmed over.

An exfoliant? A hydrating treatment? A pore-minimiser? It could be all and none of these. Once considered a harsh, alcohol-soaked skincare step that left skin feeling tight and squeaky clean, toner has undergone something of a beauty rebrand over the past couple of years.

Today’s formulas promise everything from hydration and barrier support to glow-boosting exfoliation and oil control – but with skincare routines already packed full of serums, acids and actives, are they essential in a simple skincare routine?

Toners have evolved from alcohol-heavy formulas and are becoming more integral, experts say (Alamy Stock Photo)

What exactly is a toner?

“Toners have evolved massively,” says clinical facialist Kate Kerr.

“Years ago, they were often alcohol-heavy formulas designed to strip away oil after cleansing, which is where a lot of the confusion and fear around toners still comes from.”

Traditional toners were largely used as a final cleansing step – particularly back when cleansers were heavier and less sophisticated. But modern formulations have become far more treatment-focused.

Aesthetician Nina Prisk, founder of Update Aesthetics, explains that many toners are now designed to “hydrate, soothe, gently exfoliate or support the skin barrier, depending on the ingredients used”.

Rather than simply removing oil, toners are increasingly being used to prepare the skin for the rest of a routine.

Kerr says she primarily uses toners as “a preparation step” to remove excess oil and dead skin cells, helping other products penetrate more effectively.

Brightening toner:

Naturium Multi-Bright Milky Toner, £19, Space NK

Does everyone need a toner?

This is where expert opinions begin to differ slightly.

Kerr believes toners can benefit almost everyone, noting, “for those with dry skin, toners can help rebuild the barrier and hold moisture.

“For oilier skin types, you have that extra degreasing and exfoliation step that helps with oil control.”

She also says that mature skin can particularly benefit from hydrating or exfoliating toners because natural cell turnover slows with age.

Prisk, however, sees toner as more of an optional extra rather than an essential step.

“A good cleanser, moisturiser and SPF are still the foundations of a skincare routine,” she says.

That said, she agrees the right formula can be useful for specific concerns, particularly dehydration, congestion or excess oil.

Ultimately, experts say toner should never be viewed as a one-size-fits-all product. The formula – and the ingredients inside it – matter far more than the category itself.

Barrier repair/hydrating toner:

Dr.Jart+ Ceramidin Skin Barrier Serum Toner, £35, Cult Beauty

What can toner actually help with?

According to both experts, modern toners can genuinely support hydration, mild exfoliation, oil balancing, deal with dullness, congestion and even help the products applied afterwards absorb more effectively into the skin.

Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and gentle exfoliating acids can all be beneficial depending on the concern you’re targeting.

But there are still plenty of exaggerated claims surrounding toners.

“Pores don’t physically open and close,” Kerr explains, “and a toner alone isn’t going to cure acne or rosacea”.

Prisk agrees that promises to “shrink pores” or dramatically transform skin are often overstated.

“Toners are supportive products rather than miracle solutions,” she says.

Gentle exfoliating toner:

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, £11.90

Should toner be applied with hands or cotton pads?

Again, this largely comes down to the formula.

“In my clinic we apply toner with cotton pads using small circular motions,” says Kerr, explaining this can aid the exfoliation process.

Hydrating toners, meanwhile, are often better patted into the skin with clean hands or even misted directly onto the face.

Prisk tends to favour hands over cotton pads where possible.

“This avoids unnecessary product wastage and can be gentler on the skin barrier,” she explains, particularly for sensitive skin types.

However, exfoliating formulas may still benefit from the precision and even distribution a cotton pad provides.

Exfoliating toner pads:

Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0, £24, Look Fantastic

Can exfoliating toners be overused?

This is one area where experts urge caution when using toners in your skincare routine.

Kerr believes exfoliating toners can safely be used daily, arguing that skin naturally sheds every day and that exfoliation helps support healthy cell turnover.

But Prisk warns over-exfoliation is increasingly common – especially when people combine toners with retinol, acids and other active ingredients.

“Signs you may be overdoing it include redness, tightness, irritation and increased sensitivity,” she says.

For many people, using exfoliating toners just a few times a week may be enough.

So, should you keep toner in your routine?

If you’re trying to streamline your skincare routine, toner is often one of the first products people question.

Prisk says she would usually prioritise cleanser, moisturiser and SPF first.

“Toners can absolutely have benefits, but they are generally more of an additional or supportive step,” she says.

Kerr, however, offers a differing opinion.

“Toner is a really important product to keep in your routine,” she states, arguing that it helps control oil, supports hydration and improves the penetration of other skincare products.

In reality, the answer probably sits somewhere in the middle.

A toner isn’t necessarily essential – but the right one can elevate a routine significantly, particularly if you’re targeting specific skin concerns.

The key is choosing a formula that supports your skin rather than stripping it – something modern toners, thankfully, have become far better at doing.

Award season prep: The hidden beauty treatments powering red carpet and on-screen looks

The red carpet is more than a photo op. It is the beauty industry’s most influential testing ground. Long before the stars arrive, a massive preparation cycle begins, setting the pace for global consumer behavior for the rest of the year. While the fashion usually takes the headlines, the real story is in the intensive skincare and wellness prep required to stand up to modern 8K cameras.

These hidden processes have shifted from exclusive studio secrets to a blueprint for the entire retail market. The scale of this influence is massive. According to a 2024 McKinsey & Company analysis, skincare is the industry’s powerhouse, representing 44% of the total market. This analysis from Sjolie, a professional sunless tanning manufacturer and training provider, looks at the specific, data-backed treatments—from cryotherapy to sunless tanning—that power today’s red carpet looks and eventually define what’s on the shelves for everyone else.

Sjolie

The Market Dominance of Dermal Hydration

Beyond couture, the primary aesthetic benchmark for the modern red carpet is “glass skin”—a trend that prioritizes high levels of dermal hydration to create a reflective, translucent finish. This movement, rooted in K-beauty principles, has fundamentally shifted consumer behavior away from matte finishes and toward “sheen” results.

The glass skin trend relies on a multistage regimen of hydrating serums and toners, but its primary economic impact is found in the “preventative” category. By emphasizing a healthy skin barrier and UV protection, the trend has captured a younger demographic—specifically Gen Z consumers—who view skincare as a long-term capital investment in their appearance rather than a temporary fix.

Consequently, the focus has pivoted toward long-term dermal health, treating the complexion as a vital asset that requires strategic, multilayered management rather than superficial coverage.

Prioritizing Dermal Integrity via Sunless Tanning

The movement toward “glass skin” has also triggered a significant shift in the tanning sector. As high-profile stars increasingly avoid the accelerated aging and DNA damage associated with UV exposure, sunless tanning has become the operational standard for achieving a “camera-ready” glow.

Average consumers now spend more on sunless tanning, with the market growing at 7% annually. Award show appearances and glowing skin in the movies aren’t solely responsible. This growth is driven by the speed of results—a “social media-friendly” efficiency that allows consumers to achieve aesthetic benchmarks without the weeks of exposure required by traditional methods. This shift treats the “tan” as a temporary, nondamaging cosmetic application rather than a result of solar radiation.

By treating the “glow” as a manageable variable rather than a product of environmental exposure, the industry has successfully decoupled the aesthetic of the tan from the hazards of radiation.

Cryotherapeutic Interventions and Lymphatic Drainage

To combat “utilization fatigue”—the physical puffiness caused by travel and high-stress schedules—celebrity stylists are increasingly turning to low-temperature interventions. This process, often referred to as “skin icing” or cryotherapy, serves as a high-efficiency primer for subsequent product application.

While professional cryofacials are common, the trend has trickled down to sustainable at-home solutions, such as reusable cooled eye masks and full-face immersion techniques. These methods utilize thermal shock to induce vasoconstriction, reducing inflammation and tightening the skin’s appearance instantly. For the consumer, these methods represent a low-cost, high-impact entry point into professional-grade prep routines.

The Normalization of ‘Prejuvenation’ and Minimally Invasive Procedures

It is impossible to evaluate award season aesthetics without addressing the role of cosmetic surgery. According to a 2024 American Society of Plastic Surgeons report, the rise of “prejuvination” (neuromodulator and soft tissue filler procedures) has seen a surge in patients in their 20s and 30s seeking preventative treatments.

The industry is also seeing a dissolution of the gender divide regarding these procedures. Market reports suggest that minimally invasive treatments, such as microfillers and neuromodulators (Botox), are increasingly utilized by male stars to manage sagging skin and maintain facial volume. This normalization suggests that cosmetic intervention is no longer viewed as a “last resort” but as a standard maintenance requirement for public-facing professionals.

Future Outlook: The Access Economy of Beauty

While red carpet invitations are limited to an elite few, the data suggests that the “red carpet look” is being democratized through retail accessibility. The move toward sunless tanning and high-science skincare reflects a broader consumer shift toward health-conscious aesthetics.

As transparency around cosmetic surgery increases and “sunless” technology continues to improve, the beauty industry’s reliance on award season as a marketing catalyst will only strengthen. For the modern consumer, the question is no longer about achieving “luxury” beauty, but about utilizing data-driven treatments to maintain dermal health in an era of constant digital scrutiny.

Saif Ali Khan Reveals The One Habit That Keeps Him Looking Young At 55 | Health and Fitness News

admin 0 Comments

Last Updated:March 09, 2026, 09:56 IST

Saif Ali Khan opens up about his holistic wellness routine and why lifestyle choices matter more than skincare after 50.

Saif Ali Khan recently appeared on Soha Ali Khan’s All About Her podcast.

In an industry obsessed with miracle creams and quick fixes, Saif Ali Khan believes the real secret to healthy skin and a youthful presence lies somewhere far less glamorous: everyday discipline.

The actor recently spoke about his approach to ageing well during a conversation with his sister, Soha Ali Khan, on her YouTube podcast. Rather than crediting a skincare routine or expensive treatments, the 55-year-old actor pointed to something far more fundamental – a balanced lifestyle built on sleep, nutrition, exercise and mindful habits.

For Saif Ali Khan, looking good is less about cosmetic solutions and more about the cumulative effect of small, consistent choices.

The Holistic Formula Behind His Glow

According to Saif, the idea of ageing gracefully begins with a broader perspective on health. He emphasised that physical appearance is often a reflection of how one lives day to day. “It’s a holistic thing, you have to sleep well, eat well, especially at my age, and exercise. Every little thing shows up on your face. To look good, you also have to behave well,” he shared.

This philosophy mirrors what many wellness experts emphasise today: skin health is deeply connected to internal wellbeing. Poor sleep, stress and erratic eating habits can often show up as fatigue, dullness or premature ageing.

Why Lifestyle Matters More After 50

Saif also acknowledged that the body becomes less forgiving with age. Habits that might not have had visible consequences in one’s younger years begin to show up more clearly over time.

When discussing skincare specifically for people in their 50s, the actor explained that the biggest factor is lifestyle consistency. “It reflects my lifestyle, my thoughts, and just generally good behaviour. You can’t get away with anything anymore.”

Late nights, excessive partying or smoking may once have seemed manageable, but the long-term effects eventually become visible. “It takes a little time to accept that those days are gone,” he admitted, highlighting a shift toward moderation and self-awareness that often accompanies ageing.

Fitness As A Long-Term Commitment

Fitness has also been an essential part of Saif’s routine for decades. While he has often spoken about strength training and sports in the past, his recent comments reinforce the importance of staying active, not just for appearance but for overall vitality.

Regular exercise supports circulation, improves energy levels and helps maintain muscle strength – all factors that contribute to looking and feeling healthier over time.

Saif Ali Khan’s Upcoming Projects

Even as he focuses on wellness, Saif’s professional calendar remains packed. The actor will soon be seen in the investigative drama Kartavya, directed by Pulkit and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment for Netflix. He is also set to appear in Haiwaan, directed by Priyadarshan, marking his on-screen reunion with Akshay Kumar after nearly 17 years.

For Saif Ali Khan, the message is clear: ageing well isn’t about chasing youth, but it’s about cultivating habits that support health, balance and longevity.

Struggling With Dark Spots? Skincare Experts Say Prevention Is The Real Game-Changer | Beauty News

admin 0 Comments

Last Updated:March 09, 2026, 10:09 IST

Dermatologists share expert tips to prevent pigmentation and dark spots, from sunscreen and antioxidants to skincare habits that protect your skin barrier.

Sun protection remains the single most important step in preventing pigmentation.

Clear, even-toned skin rarely comes from complicated skincare routines alone. More often, it is the result of small, consistent habits that protect the skin from everyday triggers like sun exposure, pollution, stress and inflammation. Pigmentation and dark spots remain among the most common skincare concerns for women, particularly in urban environments where lifestyle and environmental factors constantly challenge the skin barrier.

From hormonal changes to UV exposure and post-acne marks, several factors can lead to uneven skin tone. Dermatologists say the key to managing pigmentation is not only treating it after it appears, but also preventing it through thoughtful skincare, sun protection and healthy lifestyle choices.

Why Pigmentation Happens

According to Dr. Tanushree Biswas, dermatologist at Kaya, pigmentation often develops due to a combination of lifestyle and environmental factors.

“Healthy, glowing skin blooms from consistent, mindful habits rather than elaborate routines that fizzle out. Pigmentation and dark spots top the list of concerns for so many women today, sparked by relentless sun exposure, hormonal shifts like those during pregnancy or PCOD, gritty urban pollution, everyday stress, and even well-meaning but misguided skincare tweaks that ramp up melanin production,” she explains.

Similarly, Dr. Priyanka Keshav, dermatologist at VLCC Group, notes that pigmentation often develops gradually and can be influenced by multiple factors. “Pigmentation and dark spots are common concerns that many women experience at different stages of life. These marks often develop gradually due to factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, and environmental stressors,” she says.

Sunscreen: The Most Powerful Prevention Tool

Dermatologists agree that sun protection remains the single most important step in preventing pigmentation. “Start with sunscreen, your non-negotiable shield. UV rays, even sneaking through clouds or windows, ignite 80 per cent of pigmentation issues by overstimulating melanocytes,” says Dr Biswas.

She recommends using a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen with PA++++ protection, ideally one that contains zinc for better compatibility with Indian skin tones. Reapplication every three to four hours when outdoors is equally important.

Dr Keshav adds that protective measures beyond sunscreen can also make a difference. Wearing wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, or using umbrellas during peak sunlight hours can help limit UV exposure and reduce melanin stimulation.

Strengthening The Skin Barrier

Overdoing skincare can sometimes worsen pigmentation instead of preventing it. Dr Keshav explains that excessive exfoliation or harsh products can weaken the skin barrier and trigger irritation, which may later lead to dark spots. Instead, she recommends focusing on barrier-supporting ingredients such as ceramides, hyaluronic acid and calming botanical extracts.

Dr Biswas also suggests gentle cleansing and mindful exfoliation. “Cleanse gently twice daily with a pH-balanced, ceramide-rich formula to whisk away pollutants without stripping natural oils.” She advises exfoliating only twice a week using mild acids like mandelic or lactic acid rather than abrasive scrubs that can inflame the skin.

The Role Of Antioxidants And Hydration

A well-balanced skincare routine also benefits from antioxidant ingredients that help defend the skin against environmental damage. Dr Biswas recommends incorporating vitamin C and niacinamide into nighttime routines. Vitamin C helps brighten the complexion while blocking tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, while niacinamide can help reduce existing dark spots and calm pollution-induced irritation.

Hydration, both internal and external, also plays a key role. Drinking adequate water and using moisturisers containing hyaluronic acid can strengthen the skin barrier and improve resilience against environmental stressors.

Lifestyle Choices Matter Too

Dr Keshav explains that sleep, nutrition and stress management all influence hormonal balance and skin repair. Diets rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants can support the skin’s natural healing process and help minimise post-inflammatory pigmentation.

Avoiding habits such as picking pimples is equally important, as it can trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that takes longer to fade.

Preventing pigmentation is rarely about a single miracle product. Instead, it comes down to a balanced approach that combines sun protection, gentle skincare, antioxidant support and healthy lifestyle habits. By protecting the skin barrier and minimising triggers, it becomes far easier to maintain an even, radiant complexion over time.
