    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022 and beyond.

6 Ways to Make Your Hands Look 10 Years Younger

No matter how young you feel, your hands may look otherwise. The skin on your hands ages faster than other parts of the body because it's thin and often exposed to sun and abrasion. "The sun breaks down collagen in the hands, leaving them wrinkled and creating dark spots," says Francesca Fusco, MD, a dermatologist at Wexler Dermatology in Manhattan. "And we wash them constantly and some people Purell like crazy. They're exposed to detergents and chemicals all the time."Even though we're rough on our hands, there's plenty you can do to keep them looking young. Try these six products below–they each have dermatologist-recommended ingredients to keep your hands soft, smooth, and ageless.

BUY IT: $9; dermstore.com

Both Dr. Fusco and Dr. Katz recommended using a product with retinol in it at night. “Retinol acids offer great anti-aging benefits by improving blood supply to the skin and stimulating collagen production to turn back time,” says Katz. In addition to retinol, this non-greasy hand cream contains other anti-aging ingreditns including hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. Dr. Fusco also recommends her patients try the prescription-strength SkinBetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Face Cream (it's meant for the face, but works on hands too).
