Hyperpigmentation is one of my biggest skin-care concerns. I used to constantly exfoliate my skin, before realizing I was making things worse in the long run. I was over-exfoliating, which caused irritation breakouts to form that led to more dark spots - it was truly a never-ending cycle, and I felt defeated. I finally decided to remove all exfoliators from my routine to truly let my skin's barrier repair itself and get back to its balanced state. Once my skin barrier was repaired and I felt confident enough to integrate gentle chemical exfoliants back into my skin-care routine, Eadem's Cashmere Peel Toner ($42) came into my life. After looking at the ingredients and learning you're only supposed to use it three times a week at most, I knew it was the best way to slowly bring exfoliants back into my skin-care routine, and hopefully see progress in fading my dark spots. About the Eadem Cashmere Peel Gentle Exfoliating AHA Toner This toner contains a nine percent blend of gluconolactone, lactic acid, azelaic acid, citric acid, and tranexamic acid to help exfoliate the skin and fade dark spots. It also contains panthenol and glycerin to help retain moisture with rice water, and colloidal oatmeal to help with hydration and calming the skin. It's gluten free, cruelty free, and comes in recyclable packaging. What I Like About the Eadem Cashmere Peel Gentle Exfoliating AHA Toner Although the Cashmere Peel Toner looks milky and serum-like at first, the formula thins out as you blend it into the skin. It absorbs quickly as well, so I'm able to layer on other products and serums to target my skin's needs. I kept my routine pretty gentle to test out the effectiveness of this toner and to make sure my skin didn't react to too many products. After using the Cashmere Peel Toner for about a month, I noticed a significant improvement in my skin's texture. It's a lot smoother with less irritation breakouts and dry patches. I also noticed that my skin looked more even-toned and brighter. Although not as evident from the before-and-after picture, I noticed that slowly but surely my dark spots were fading too, and with continued use, I'll hopefully see more progress. How to Use the Eadem Cashmere Peel Gentle Exfoliating AHA Toner The brand suggests saturating a cotton pad with the toner solution, and sweeping it over the face and neck as a first step after cleansing the skin. Because of its milky consistency, I like to add a few drops to my hand and massage the formula into my skin directly, like a hydrating essence. If you want a gentle form of physical exfoliation, you can use a cotton pad to help sweep off the dead skin cells. It's also a great way to use the excess solution on other parts of your body, like the underarms or anywhere else you're prone to dark spots or ingrown hairs. After trying both methods, I preferred to use my hands to cut out the extra step and waste cotton pads. Plus, if your skin doesn't respond well to friction and rubbing, patting the product onto the skin with your hands is probably the best course of action to prevent further irritation. The brand also recommends using the Cashmere Peel Toner no more than three times a week, preferably at night. It also warned against using the formula extra sensitive skin that is peeling, itchy, or compromised. What to Consider Before Trying the Eadem Cashmere Peel Gentle Exfoliating AHA Toner If you have extra sensitive skin or your skin needs time to adjust to new products, the brand suggests starting off using it once a week and then slowly building your way up to more frequent use. Although the formula balances actives and skin-calming ingredients, you might be tempted to use it daily for faster results, but it's best to stick to the three-times-a-week schedule to prevent irritation breakouts. You can use the Cashmere Peel Toner in conjunction with other dark spot-fading solutions like vitamin C serums, retinol, or other gentle serums with alpha arbutin. It's better to have a calming routine that won't disrupt the skin barrier and cause more breakouts and dark spots. Patience is the key to success with this product. Where is the Eadem Cashmere Peel Gentle Exfoliating AHA Toner Available? The Eadem Cashmere Peel Gentle Exfoliating AHA Toner is available at Sephora and the brand's site.

Getting your makeup just right takes a lot of precision and perfection, as well as a lot of trial and error. Of course, you have to figure out what makeup products you like the best, whether it's foundation, eyeshadow, or something else entirely. Then, once you figure that out, it's time to start figuring out how you like applying your products. When it comes to base makeup, do you like using your fingers? A foundation brush? Or perhaps a beauty sponge? Beauty sponges are great tools, especially if you're looking for an airbrushed finish. However, searching for your favorite beauty sponge can take years, and it can occasionally be frustrating to try out tool after tool on the quest for the perfect blender. You want one that can reach every angle and nook on your face, blend any product into your skin, and also apply powder lightly and make everything look natural - like your skin, but better. Luckily, there are a handful of products on the market that will totally transform your makeup routine, and we've tested out quite a few of them. Ahead, you'll find the very best options out there, so you can take your complexion game to the next level. Keep scrolling for our favorite beauty sponge picks.

As trends go by and the seasons change, the one constant that remains is our favorite pairs of jeans. Although denim comes in a wide variety of cuts, fits, and washes, it's the one piece of clothing we can't help but be picky about, especially if you're in the market for a pair that doesn't compromise on comfort. If you're looking to add a new style to your denim rotation, you can't go wrong with a pair of Levi's. There's a reason why Beyoncé has a song titled "Levii's Jeans" on "Cowboy Carter." When we think of Levi's, the first word that comes to mind is "classic," (or now Beyoncé). For years the brand has dominated the denim game - we wouldn't be surprised if your parents had a few pairs from their younger days still in their wardrobes. Whether it's baggy jeans, something form-fitting like skinny or straight-cut jeans, or the perfect pair of vintage-looking denim, Levi's delivers on the latest denim trends, as well as jeans that are dependable, timeless, and a true staple in our closets. Levi's lineup of jeans is known for its flattering fits that accentuate the waistline and define curves - so much so that Beyoncé even references them as "ass hugging" in her new song. We can't really talk about Levi's without mentioning the classic 501 jeans and its many iterations. Plus, the brand has other silhouettes that instantly became staples, like the Wedgie and the Ribcage, not to mention shorts and skirts. In short, there's something for everyone; all you have to do is shop. No matter your denim style, every fashion-lover should have a pair of Levi's jeans in their wardrobe, and these are our 12 favorites.

When it comes to finding flattering, everyday makeup products, our editors can't stop raving about Ami Colé's lineup. TikToker Monet McMichael, a beauty influencer who has over 3.8 million followers on the app, uses several products from the brand in her go-to makeup routine. I'm a fan of the Lash-Amplifying Mascara for a naturally enhanced look, and once I learned how many people adore the Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil ($20), I was eager to try it out. I have high standards when it comes to lip products, which I've discovered since the rise of the lip oil trend. I'm picky when it comes to texture, hydration, and color payoff, and if one aspect is off, it's an automatic no for me. But when Aavrani founder Rooshy Roy listed Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil as a must have, describing it as "kind of like a skin-care product in addition to a cosmetic product," I was officially convinced. With all this high praise, I knew it was time to see if the lip oil was worth the hype. Ahead, read my in-depth review of the Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil and see swatches of the colors I tried. About the Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil It is formulated with baobab-seed oil, camellia-seed oil, passion-fruit-seed oil, and vitamin E to deliver antioxidants and deep hydration on the lips and retain moisture. It has a long doe-foot applicator that has an angled flat tip with ridges for even product distribution. The lip oil comes in six sheer shades: Excellence (rosy brown), Reflection (clear), Bliss (peach pink), Smitten (sheer bright pink), Romance (cranberry red), and 5/17 (nude with golden shimmer). It's clean, gluten-free, vegan, and cruelty-free. What I Like About the Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil I have extremely dry lips, to the point where I can peel off a layer like I'm a snake (thank you, Accutane), and Ami Colé's Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil is so effective that I use it more than my actual lip balms. It has a thick, goopy texture that glides smoothly onto my lips and delivers a deep conditioning feel. At first, it may seem like the product is just sitting on your lips topically, but within minutes, the hydration penetrates, slowly softening the lips for a healthier, nonsticky feel. Because of its thicker texture, the hydration is actually pretty long-lasting - I can go a few hours without reapplying. As the brand states, the shades are supposed to be sheer, complementing all skin tones. I tested out each of the shades on its own without any other lip product. In analyzing the swatches above, I feel like they're all suitable for my skin tone, without the need for lip liner or another product to finish the look. My personal favorites are Excellence, Romance, and 5/17, if I want a bit of sparkle. These shades don't wash me out, while the brighter tints like Romance and Smitten aren't too bold. These lip oils deliver the perfect wash of color and versatility, no matter what look I'm going for. Related: Huda Beauty's New $19 Lip Gloss Is Viral For a Reason How to Use the Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil Just like most lip oils or balmy glosses, Ami Colé's Hydrating Lip Treatment can be worn by itself or with other lip products. Use the flat end of the angled doe-foot applicator and swipe it all over your lips. You'll notice that the ridges on the wand help with even product distribution. Since it's thick and hydrating like a protective balm, it can replace your lip balm with an added glossy finish or wash of color. You can also top off your lipstick with the lip oil for a high-shine effect or pair it with a lip liner for that effortless, TikTok-famous gym lip. What to Consider Before Trying the Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil These lip oils have a thicker, balm-like feel compared to other lip oils. Although it's not sticky, it has more of a viscous texture and does not have oil-like slippage. If you prefer a weightless feel, this product may not be an ideal fit. However, this is great for those with drier lips who like an intense balm feel. Because of the packaging, you may face a bit of resistance when you attempt to maneuver the lip oil wand from its tube. I suggest applying a bit of force while trying to screw the wand closed and removing the wand from of the container slowly, so that the product doesn't splatter. Where Is the Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil Available? The Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil is available on the brand's site and from Sephora.

A comfortable couch is the anchor of any home, and if you have the space, an extra-deep sofa is the way to go. It's so luxurious to lie back and cuddle up without needing an ottoman to rest your feet. An extra-deep sofa is perfect for families and binge-watchers alike - or anyone who prioritizes comfort and a lounge-worthy experience. To help you find the perfect roomy sofa for your apartment or house, interior design expert Gil Walsh of GW Interiors told POPSUGAR her expert tips on the qualities to look for during your search. Why Buy an Extra-Deep Sofa? A deep sofa not only makes your living space feel cozier, but it also serves as a functional piece of seating. "Taller people appreciate extra-deep sofas as they are able to sit more comfortably given their height and length of their legs," Walsh explains. Extra-deep couches are also worth the splurge for those with a habit of sleeping on the sofa and, according to Walsh, "anyone that wants a supreme amount of space to lounge on and has a large enough to house an oversized sofa without it looking out of place." What to Look For When Buying a Deep Couch There are many key factors to consider when investing in furniture, most notably size, fabric, style, function, and cost. For an extra-deep couch, Walsh recommends one with a seat depth of more than 25 inches. "But be mindful of the height," she warns. "If you're on the taller side, be sure the sofa isn't close to the ground, which would make it difficult for you to get on and off." When considering fabrics, first you need to determine how you plan to use the sofa and where it will be placed in your home. "Luxurious textures and blends like velvet and blended wools are best for seldom use. If you have children or pets, a durable performance fabric is your best option. Fade-resistant fabrics hold up well when the sofa is in the path of direct sunlight," Walsh explains. If you're planning on having frequent movie nights on your deep-seated couch, we suggest sticking to upholstered fabrics that are easy to keep clean. Walsh has some best practices for keeping your furniture in tip-top shape for a long time. "For upholstered sofas, vacuum them regularly to remove surface soil and dust," she says. "This prevents them from becoming embedded into the fibers. Gently blot any spills immediately with a clean folded towel. Avoid placing your sofa in direct sunlight as it can cause the fabric to fade or fray, unless you have performance fabric that is made to withstand the power of sunlight." With Walsh's tips in mind, we found 13 of the best extra-deep sofas on the market, many of which are on sale. Our top choice is the editor-favorite Albany Park Kova Pit Sectional Sofa, but there's something for everyone ahead. - Additional reporting by Angela Elias and Kyley Warren Related: The 13 Most Stylish Coffee Tables From West Elm

Lilly Singh has made us laugh throughout her years in entertainment, and her long, luscious hair has simultaneously left an impression. "It's a huge part of my identity," she tells PS. Singh gets plenty of compliments on her hair, but she notes that people would point out the length and conflate it with being healthy. "I have to admit, there was a period where my hair was really dry, my scalp was really dry. I wasn't doing much to protect it and to make it healthy," she says. Noting that her mom used to take the time to oil her hair growing up, Singh brought the practice back into her life, making it work with her busy schedule. Her meditative hair care routine involves hair oiling and hair masks, which helps her achieve healthier hair and gives her a moment for her mental health. "It's great if something looks nice, but when it feels nice and healthy, that's a different thing. We believe that you have to look good to feel good, but I think it's the opposite - you have to feel good to look good. If your hair is healthy, it's going to look good," she says. Embarking on a journey to healthier hair led her to form a partnership with Aavrani to create problem-solving hair-care products. Aavrani is known for its Ayurvedic-inspired formulas with science-backed ingredients ("RHONY"'s Jessel Taank loves the brand's Moisturizing Hydra-Cream). "What's cool about Aavrani's hair line is it hits on three areas that are really unique at Sephora: it's the ancient wisdom, it's the modern science, and we also do clinical trials with before-and-after pictures," Singh says. After trying out a few of Aavrani's skin-care products, including the editor-favorite Healing Rose Clay Mask, Singh happily joined founder Rooshy Roy to partner on the hair care line, and the rest was history. "For the past year and a half to two years, we've been thinking about what products we think would be valuable. I've tested the products and given feedback on packaging, marketing, and every little part of it. I am very involved in every single thing I do," Singh says. Along with hair oiling, Singh shares some of her top hair care tips with us. She loves using a wet brush to detangle, and maintains that keeping hair in a braid "is the style that has the least amount of breakage." When she's not working on script writing, acting, running her production company Unicorn Island, and taking care of her hair, Singh is currently watching "The Bear" and reading the latest picks from her book club Lilly's Library. Ahead, she lists her current favorite products that help optimize her life. Related: Poorna Jagannathan's Must Haves: From a Hot-Towel Warmer to a Travel Beauty Case
