Beauty & Personal Care
Right now the two beauty products I keep telling people to buy are CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and the Dyson Airwrap—one's a $19 tub that fixes dry, cracked skin in about a week, the other is a $600 hair tool that replaces three separate appliances in your bathroom drawer. They sit at opposite ends of the price spectrum, but both earned their spot by actually doing what they claim, not just looking good on a shelf.
Q.Is CeraVe Moisturizing Cream good for very dry skin?
A.Yes—the 19oz tub is thick, ceramide-based, and built specifically for dry to very dry skin, including eczema-prone patches. It's fragrance-free and uses MVE technology to release moisture over 24 hours rather than sitting on top of your skin.
Q.Is the Dyson Airwrap worth the money?
A.If you currently own a separate blow dryer, curling iron, and straightener, the $600 price makes more sense because it replaces all three with lower heat damage. If you have very short or very coarse hair that needs serious heat to hold a curl, cheaper tools will likely serve you better.
Q.How often should you moisturize your face?
A.Twice a day—once in the morning and once at night after cleansing—is the standard most dermatologists and moisturizer labels recommend, and it's what I did during testing. Dry or cold-climate skin may need a third application on hands or elbows.
Q.Can the Dyson Airwrap replace a blow dryer and curling iron?
A.Yes for most hair types—it dries and curls in the same tool using airflow instead of extreme heat, so you skip the separate blow-dry step entirely. It's less effective as a full styling replacement if you have very short hair or need tight, long-lasting curls that hold through a humid day.
