Do you know what springs out of the Fountain of Youth? Answer: Glycolic acid. Lucky for us, the hot ingredient for facial cleansers and moisturizers now comes in a product to use all over the body. DDF Glycolic Body Lotion restores smoothness, tone, and firmness to parched legs and arms by sloughing off dead cells and bringing brighter looking skin to the surface. Along with its main ingredient, DDF’s lotion uses Lactic acid to improve texture and make skin look younger. The downside to this great product: sunlight sensitivity. Be sure to wear sunscreen religiously whenever you use glycolic acid, or the Fountain of Youth will be wasted on you.
DDF Glycolic Body Lotion, $42; available at Sephora.com.

With so many products out there, how does anyone know what to buy? For shampoo and conditioner, if you color your hair, I would suggest only using products for color-treated hair as these tend to have ingredients in them that help hydrate and moisturize the hair. A good shampoo and conditioner is important because it serves as a foundation for how you style your hair and what you use as styling. I feel like there are so many products out there, it can be overwhelming and confusing. The way I choose my products is by thinking what problem do I want to tackle? It seems every month/season, it’s something different - sometimes I look for anti-frizz, sometimes for curl. So I think you should first determine what problem you want to tackle and look for a product that says so on the bottle!

I love every Kiehl’s product I’ve ever used, and the Ultimate Thickening Shampoo is no exception. This creamy blend of mint, rosemary, and Cederwood essential oils helps plump up “thinning” tresses, nourishing them with Vitamin E and Omega-6 fatty acid derivatives. And although my hair is fine rather than falling out, I still notice that it looks fuller, fluffier, and cleaner than with other things I’ve tried. When massaged into locks, the Ultimate Thickening Shampoo also invigorates the scalp and improves coverage for a head full of lustrous, gleaming strands.
Kiehl’s Ultimate Thickening Shampoo, $18; available at Kiehls.com.

As a fairly tall girl (5′ 9″), I can tell you, growing up is hard work! After those awkward teenage years ended, I was left with stretch marks on my knees and all the boys shrinking in my long shadow. Luckily, after a while, the boys grew taller, but my thin white lines still hadn’t faded. So I went in search of a fabulous cream to whisk them away. That’s when I read about the medical-sounding StriVectin-SD, an intense concentrate for stretch marks, which promised to smooth out my annoying adolescent souvenirs. Well, little did I know, it’s also great for wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, and all those other skin-related side-effects of getting older. The product claims to be “better than botox” and uses an oligo-peptide called Pal-KTTKS, which is known for its ultra-strength, wrinkle-reducing properties. For the next four to six weeks, three times a day, I’ll be massaging this cream on my knees and between my brows, hoping to erase the past and the future. Maybe growing up just got a little easier after all.
StriVectin-SD Intensive Concentrate for Existing Stretch Marks, $135; available at KleinBecker.com.
