To submit a question, e-mail celia_ ellenberg@condenast.com.I recently read a study that said that skin sensitivity is on the rise from excessive and unnecessary product usage. Is there any truth [...]

The forecast for Memorial Day weekend here in New York was pretty depressing when we checked earlier this week, but we’re happy to report that meteorologists seem to be retracting their previous calls for thunderstorms. There will be sun, so best to ready a few bottles of the latest sunblocks. Fortunately, the options have never [...]

Scarlett Johansson’s new sexed-up ad campaign for D&G The Makeup’s Fall collection hit the Web today, and it’s a slight departure from last season’s. First and foremost, her typically heaving chest is uncharacteristically covered up; secondly, she’s gone from pinup girl to vamp in what amounts to yet another endorsement for the purple lip. (We [...]

Chanel makes one; La Mer does too. For the past few years, we’ve been hoarding fancy liquid sunscreens, as they’re something of an unsung hero of summer skincare regimens. Everyone knows that wearing a daily SPF product—at least on your face—is essential for warding off UV damage, but applying heavy creams with high levels of [...]

As we’re already a week into Skin Cancer Awareness Month, we thought now would be a good time to talk about Neutrogena’s annual partnership with the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Its Choose Skin Health campaign will be running through July and encourages Americans to regularly perform skin self-examinations and protect themselves from the sun. [...]

When we first saw this headline we misread the last name and thought, “Emma Watson’s doing beauty now? Huh. She seemed to be positioning herself as something of a fashion darling, but hey, no harm in double dipping.” When we realized our mistake, our next thought was, “Emma Roberts? Wait. Who?” And so we did [...]

As I was unable to attend Sundance this year for reasons that include time, money, and a resistance to voluntarily putting myself in a climate even colder than the one I’m currently enduring in New York, I had to rely on a few informed, er, correspondents to fill me in on the beauty scoop from [...]

If you’re the type of person who falls prey to those “available for a limited-time only!” special sales, then read on—and get your dialing finger ready. Tomorrow, Neutrogena Dermatologics (a separate wing of the drugstore giant devoted to developing advanced solutions for skin concerns) will launch its new Retinol NX Concentrated Retinol Serum exclusively on [...]

Neutrogena, the No. 1 dermatologist-recommended brand, can now add “art star” to its already stellar reputation. At Reeves Contemporary last night, Katie Lee Joel hosted a cocktail party celebrating artist Danielle Julian-Norton’s new Ambrosia installation, a seven-foot-high wall made of 20,000 bricks of the skincare company’s facial-cleansing bar soap.
