GH BEAUTY LAB 1 ADD EXFOLIATING POWER TO YOUR CLEANSE. WHAT Facial cleansing powders HOW When combined with water, they transform into a face wash that doubles as an exfoliator. GH PICKS Rodin Olio Lusso Facial Cleansing Powder ($45, oliolusso.com) and Bioré Baking Soda Pore Cleanser ($5) DIY Add ½ tsp. baking soda to your facial cleanser to create a mild exfoliant, says Samantha Cooper, spa director at Canyon Ranch.

GH BEAUTY LAB burning question DO I REALLY NEED SPF IN THE SHADE? BEAUTY LAB SAYS: You should never skip sunscreen: A new study found that 78% of people who used only an umbrella on a sunny beach day burned, versus 25% of those who used only SPF, likely because shade doesn’t block UV light from all angles. Your best bet is tripling up, says GH Beauty Lab Director Birnur Aral, Ph.D.: “Apply sunscreen, stay in the shade and wear sun-protective clothing and sunglasses.” burning question DO SUNSCREENS CAUSE CANCER? BEAUTY LAB SAYS: Despite negative rumors about certain sunscreen ingredients (like oxybenzone), “there’s no data to suggest that any ingredients in U.S. sunscreens are in amounts that could potentially cause cancer,” says Elizabeth K. Hale, M.D., a New York City…

CAROLY N FORT É HOME CARE & TEXTILES DIRECTOR @fortecarolyn HAVE A QUESTION? Email askcarolyn@ goodhousekeeping.com. QWHAT’S THE EASIEST WAY TO CLEAN MY CRYSTAL CHANDELIER? — Ashley P. A: Save time and hassle by leaving the crystals on, especially if your chandelier hangs in the kitchen and requires frequent cleaning to remove dust and grease. I like these speedy, no-drip techniques! Use a disposable wipe. Hold a premoistened glass-cleaning cloth in one hand and a paper towel like GH Seal pick Bounty in the other; give crystals a wet pass, then a dry one. Put on the gloves. For a reusable option, get a pair of washable microfiber gloves. (Look for them online or at your local home-supply store.) Spritz one glove with glass cleaner; leave the other dry for…

No matter the time of year, my dream vacation almost always includes a warm spot where I can relax near a body of water (or a pool!), read a stack of books and magazines and sip a refreshing iced tea. Recently I was lucky enough to do all that on my first-ever trip to Jamaica. My little guy is 10, so playing in a pool is his favorite holiday activity, and I love to join him. We ended up having plenty of fun, downtime and adventure (swimming with dolphins!). Sounds like the perfect getaway, doesn’t it? And it was — except for one (burning) problem. On my first morning there, I found the ideal shady spot under an umbrella, just steps from the pool. Sunscreen in hand, I nestled in,…

GH BEAUTY LAB Q Can those new polishes with strengthening ingredients really nourish my nails? A: Maybe. A slew of lacquers claim to fortify and repair nails in addition to coloring them. “They contain small amounts of natural oils and extracts, and even skincare ingredients, that regular polishes don’t,” says GH Beauty Lab Chemist Danusia Wnek. “While there isn’t sufficient research to prove their benefits, polish in general forms a film that helps protect nails from damage, and these instantly create a shiny, healthy look.” APRIL FRANZINO BEAUTY DIRECTOR @aprilfranzino ARE SULFATEFREE SHAMPOOS BETTER FOR HAIR? A: Most likely not. There’s talk that sulfates, the most common cleansers (surfactants) used in shampoos, can fade haircolor and dry out and damage strands. The Beauty Lab’s take: “Sulfates clean hair quickly and…

1. Unplug Device-free dinners, no-tech bedtimes, etc., give your brain the breathing room it needs to process and plan, says Cabot, who interviewed top techies for Geek Girl Rising, written with coauthor Samantha Walravens. Block off the time on the family calendar and connect with one another instead. 2.

BETTER: CORN NUTS They’re both made from corn, oil and salt, but corn nuts are often roasted instead of deep-fried, making them lower in total fat. Neither is high in sodium (140 mg per standard serving for unflavored versions). BETTER: IT’S A DRAW Fruit snacks may seem healthier, but they’ve often got the same amount of sugar as candy. Bottom line: They’re both treats. Eat real fruit for vitamins, fiber and all that good stuff. BETTER: POTATO CHIPS I know — surprising! Unflavored salted potato chips are a good source of potassium (15% of your Daily Value). Pita chips have twice the sodium, and even multigrain ones are processed. BETTER: IT’S A DRAW Both contain good-for-you fats that help reduce risk of heart disease, as well as fiber and potassium.…

1 GO FOR A TRUNDLE BED. While a sleeper sofa requires some setup (including cushion removal), a trundle bed seems effortless: Just pull the lower half out and up to create, in this case, a king-size mattress. Plus, the lack of a box spring means it’s comfy. 2 PICK A STURDY OTTOMAN. It can serve as both additional seating and a table for trays and books. One covered in faux fur or sheepskin is kid-friendly (no boo-boos from sharp corners or edges) and gives the room a touch of luxury. 3 INSTALL WALL LAMPS. It’s amazing how many things tiny hands can knock over. Replace table lamps with sconces that have adjustable arms you can extend when needed. You’ll avert potential accidents and save precious surface area. 4 ADD AN…

“MY DAD MADE ME FEEL BEAUTIFUL, teaching me to see the beauty beyond my disability.” But I felt as if a giant spotlight followed me everywhere, illuminating every surgical scar and deformity. Surprisingly, I would eventually find my sense of beauty and belonging in an unexpected way: shopping with my dad. I was born with Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome, a rare genetic bone and muscular disorder. I had joint contractures in my hands and knees (both knees were frozen at 90 degrees), a small mouth, scoliosis and a cleft palate that made swallowing so difficult, bottle feedings took more than an hour. My childhood was a revolving door of doctors and hospitals; I had around 25 surgeries, usually involving a contraption called an Ilizarov, a metal frame around my knees with pins…

I’d been at her office just that week for the routine skin check I’d put off for a couple of years. The email read, I’m sorry to bother you during the holiday, but your biopsy came back and we need to talk. Worried, I forwarded the email to my sister, Mary, who also happens to be my best friend and a surgeon. “It’s probably basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma,” she quickly wrote back. Those two types of cancer account for the vast majority of skin cancer diagnoses. My family is of Irish descent, with fair, freckled skin. Both my parents had been diagnosed and treated years ago, but there had never been a reason to panic. Surely there was nothing to worry about now, either. But I felt my…
