PROBLEM skin I got bangs, and now my forehead is breaking out. SOLUTION: The oil from your hair touching your skin is likely the culprit. Between washes, minimize bangs’ grease — and keep fringe looking fresh — with a spritz of oil-absorbing dry shampoo (try Beauty Lab test winner L’Oréal Professionnel Fresh Dust Hair Powder/Dry Shampoo, $24, us.lorealprofessionnel.com). If you tend to go days without shampooing, spot-clean bangs in the sink by pulling hair back, dampening them with a wet brush, dabbing on shampoo and then rinsing and drying. GH BEAUTY LAB PROBLEM eyes My mascara always clumps! SOLUTION: Avoid volumizing formulas. Generally, mascaras labeled “defining” or “lengthening” tend to have less of the thickening properties that cause buildup on lashes. In the GH Beauty Lab’s mascara test, the winners…

A FEW MONTHS AGO, my husband and I were at my brother and his fiancée’s new house when my brother pulled out a small brown leather pouch of our father’s that had turned up while they were unpacking. Out tumbled a few silver rings and other trinkets, along with three pieces of folded notebook paper. “Do you know anything about this?” asked my brother. I unfolded the papers and started reading. At the top of the first page was Things I Would Like to Do in My Lifetime! in my dad’s handwriting. He wrote the list the year I was born, when he was 29, covering both sides of each page. The first item says I would like to live a long, healthy life at least to the year 2020.…

GH + American DREAMS 2017 JUDGES’ TOP PICK TOP-TEST ED BACKSTORY When Steven Q. Wang, M.D., one of the country’s leading dermatologists, created a special calming ointment for his patients, the last thing he expected was to share it with millions of TV viewers. But that’s exactly what happened late last year, when he appeared on HSN’s American Dreams. He was an instant hit — and all units of Dr. Wang’s Eczema Ointment Natural Calming Moisturizer completely sold out! Of course, we weren’t surprised. For years, Dr. Wang has been one of the GH Beauty Lab’s go-to medical experts for everything skin-related. Plus, 30 million Americans suffer from eczema, and over 100 million struggle with sensitive skin. SKIN-SPIRATION Dr. Wang developed the balm after reading about how Chinese herbs help…

DEFLATE PUFFY EYES Apply tea bags soaked in cold water on closed eyes — black tea may be best, but any type will work. The Doctor Says: Cool, wet packs help decrease circulation and limit fluid buildup. Plus, tea has tannins, which make it astringent, so it draws out some fluid. SOOTHE A MILD BURN Place half an onion on the burn until the pain subsides. The Doctor Says: Onion juice contains sulfur compounds, quercetin and other plant chemicals — the ingredients in many over-the-counter burn treatments. RELIEVE A HEADACHE Hold a bag of frozen peas on your throbbing noggin for five to 10 minutes. The Doctor Says: Putting something cold on the affected area constricts blood vessels, which eases pain. Frozen peas make a great, easily moldable, reusable ice…

JACLYN LONDON , M . S . , R . D . GH NUTRITION DIRECTOR @jaclynlondonRD Q WHAT’S “CLEAN EATING”? IT’S ALL OVER FACEBOOK. A: The #cleaneating craze may have a health halo, but I don’t love it. When I first started seeing the phrase, it seemed to refer to choosing wholesome foods and quality ingredients and knowing where your food came from — all great! But lately, people have been using the term in misleading (and, frankly, uncool) ways, which can cause more harm than good. The tag appears on foods that aren’t actually nutritious, such as sugary smoothies and greens drowning in fatty dressing. And some use it to food-shame others on social media: Not everyone can find or afford supposedly healthy green juice and protein powder. No one…

AT AN AGE WHEN MOST KIDS ARE worried about handing in their science projects on time, fourth grader Lindsay Jurist-Rosner had weightier matters on her mind. That year, the family got word that her mom, Andra, was ill with MS, a disease of the central nervous system. Throughout her school years, Lindsay observed Andra’s decreasing mobility — muscle weakness, balance issues, trouble walking. Andra and Lindsay’s stepdad both had full-time jobs, and Andra fatigued easily. While Lindsay’s sister also helped, Lindsay says she was the “type A” daughter who did whatever needed to be done. “I was thrown into a reality of responsibility. I learned to cook for myself and arranged my own rides when my mom couldn’t drive anymore,” says Lindsay, now 36. While living in New York City…

PET BUNNY BIRD PIG TURTLE PERFECT MATCH Someone with cat allergies. It’s very easy to litter box– train a rabbit, so even if she wanders around your house, cleanup won’t be a big issue. Social types. Birds need their human families to take the place of the flock — and they get anxious when left alone too long. Be prepared to let them out of the cage for daily interaction. People with room and time for at least two pigs — they do better with a partner. Plus, they’re smart, and it’s fun to train them to sit, fetch or even push a ball over an obstacle course. Families willing to devote time and money to setting up the ideal accommodations: Turtles require specific habitats with water filters, UV lights, the proper…
