If you're on the skin-care side of TikTok, you probably see board-certified dermatologist Muneeb Shah, MD of @dermdoctor debunking viral trends, answering all your skin-care questions, giving the rundown on all things pores, and so much more. He enjoys the variety dermatology has to offer but he's truly passionate about improving the quality of his patients' lives and making a difference in their confidence. "I started to think, where am I falling short with my product recommendations, and asked myself, how could I make people's lives simpler?" Dr. Shah tells PS. He took note of his followers' main concerns, from skin conditions to streamlined routines and price points, and it inspired him to create Remedy, a skin-care line with clinically-backed, all-in-one treatments for common skin-care concerns. Dr. Shah's rise to TikTok fame was unintentional and started during the pandemic. "I saw all of this misinformation, especially on TikTok - some of the top searches for acne and acne scars were done by non-experts," he says. "I became heavily convinced that you need to be where the misinformation starts." He stitched videos to let followers know the best course of action to solve their skin woes, what products he recommends, and answer any questions. "I saw this white space, and it became immediately clear when those videos started going viral." Dr. Shah analyzed his most frequently asked skin-care questions and noticed that his followers' two main concerns were pores and dark spots. "Every time I post a video about pores or sebaceous filaments, it goes crazy viral – those are my best-performing videos ever," says Dr. Shah. A common misconception is that you can use products to get rid of your pores, but that's untrue. "You can't eliminate your pores, and you can't stop your pores from producing oil, and nor would you want to because it gives your skin hydration and produces the lipids that are going to make it soft," he says. "For pores, I would always recommend the same things, like retinol, salicylic acid, and niacinamide, almost on repeat." Rather than tell people to buy multiple products, with Remedy, he wants to create products that that it it. Dr. Shah realizes that the world of skin care can be confusing, between the buzzy product names and sheer number of options out there. "People want remedies for their skin, and this is a problem-solution brand," he says. The line features three products: Remedy For Pore Size, Remedy For Dark Spots, and Remedy For Dry Lips, all at a reasonable price point, ranging from $16 to $38. "If you don't know anything about skin care and you just know that you have dark spots and want a solution, you can find Remedy For Dark Spots," he says. "I am really just trying to meet customers and followers where they are." Ahead, Dr. Shah shares his top skin-care recommendations, but first, he lets us in on some of his underrated skin-care tips. He recommends switching out your towels, bed sheets, and pillowcases frequently and changing your shirt after working out if you have back or body acne. He also says that while most product marketing promises a change in two weeks, "you can't give up for at least two months - consistency is so key. The big misconception is that one treatment is going to solve it, but really, it's more of a long-term commitment." From his favorite cleanser and sunscreen picks to an at-home beauty device that's worth the investment, keep reading to check out Dr. Shah's favorite skin-care products.

From buttery lip balms and lip oils to glosses galore - it's the era of the lips. Recently, the lip category has gotten a much-needed upgrade with more skin-loving ingredients and products that are actually moisturizing. It's the perfect marriage between lip care and lip color, and as someone who has stubbornly dry lips that no amount of water drinking can solve, a quality lip product is a must. My purse has no less than four different lippies in it at any given moment, and I'm pretty picky about texture, color payoff, and hydration. As I scrolled through TikTok one day, I saw Huda Kattan claim she made "the world's best gloss" with the launch of the new Huda Beauty Faux Filler Extra Shine Lip Gloss ($19). As a fan of the brand (and a lip product connoisseur), my interest was piqued. The product is supposed to visibly smooth and blur fine lines while delivering a "glass-like" shine, and I had to see if it's worth the hype. Keep reading for my full review, including swatches of the shades. About the Huda Beauty Faux Filler Extra Shine Lip Gloss It is formulated with vitamin E and vegan collagen to help hydrate and moisturize the lips. It has a tapered doe-foot applicator with a formula reservoir to hold the maximum amount of product. It comes in seven shades: Glassy (clear), Sugar Baby (light pink), Honey (light peachy nude), Bombshell (pinky brown), Foxy (caramel brown), Posh (deep rose/berry), and Coco (deep chocolate brown). What I Like About the Huda Beauty Faux Filler Extra Shine Lip Gloss Kattan describes the gloss as a non-plumping formula that fills in lip lines, and as someone with really dry lips, I find these lines to be very pronounced. To test whether it delivers on its claims, I compared my bare lips to the clear shade Glassy. As you can see, my lips look significantly smoother. The glossy shine also comes through, giving my lips a fuller, juicer appearance. Beyond the actual look of the gloss, I was more impressed with its texture. It's a true balmy gloss without the stickiness. It's thicker and almost feels like the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, which I appreciate for my dry lips. After applying it, it feels like the hydration is sinking in to nourish my skin, not just sitting on the surface. After seeing how the formula held up, I was even more excited to try out the other colors. Of the six shades, I absolutely adore Bombshell, Foxy, Posh, and Coco. Overall, the range of colors is universally flattering. These lip glosses have just the right amount of pigment to be worn alone, making it easy to streamline your routine. The best part about these lip glosses is that they are quite affordable at $19 a pop compared to others on the market. From the texture and feel to the pigmented color payoff, I'll likely be replacing the other lip products in my purse with one of these glosses - or two, if I want to change up my color midday. How to Use the Huda Beauty Faux Filler Extra Shine Lip Gloss Because of its pigmented color payoff, this lip gloss is pretty versatile. You can wear it by itself, on top of a lip combo for a high-shine effect, or, as the brand suggests, paired with a lip liner for a more defined look. I love wearing it on its own, and it's perfect for reapplication throughout the day. The tapered doe-foot applicator makes it so easy to use the tip to apply it neatly along the perimeter of your lips and then fill it in with the flatter sides that have the product reservoir. The brand also recommends lining your lips with a liner and blending it out. Use a darker shade for the corners of the lips and a lighter shade for the cupid's bow and the fuller part of your lips. Set it with the Easy Bake Loose Setting Powder ($38) for long-lasting wear and then top it with the Faux Filler Lip Gloss for a juicy lip with a reflective shine. What to Consider Before Trying the Huda Beauty Faux Filler Extra Shine Lip Gloss The lip gloss has a heavier feel compared to others on the market but isn't as sticky. Personally, I don't mind the thickness; in fact, I prefer it because it makes my lips feel conditioned. It does not have the slip of lip oil, but it has more of a lip balm feel. For some of the shades - mainly lighter options like Sugar Baby and Honey - you can see the pigment settle into fine lines, whereas the darker shades have more of a blended, even-toned finish. It's something to keep in mind if you are considering those two shades. Where are the Huda Beauty Faux Filler Extra Shine Lip Glosses Available? The Huda Beauty Faux Filler Extra Shine Lip Gloss is available at Sephora. Rating: Anvita Reddy is an assistant editor for POPSUGAR Shopping.

When it comes to furnishing your outdoor space, comfort is key. From cozy lounge chairs to useful sectionals and cool daybeds, new furnishings can turn your outdoor area into a sanctuary for relaxation or the ideal spot for entertaining and hosting. Shopping for outdoor furniture is no easy feat; considering all the options on the market, it can be an overwhelming task. To help you find the perfect outdoor furniture for your home, we enlisted the help of interior design expert Julie Brayton, principal and cofounder of Brayton Interiors. What is the best outdoor furniture to have? If you're looking to revamp your whole backyard from scratch, Brayton recommends starting with outdoor lighting, which can immediately make the area more inviting. Then, she suggests figuring out how you'll be using the space. "If it's you and a partner, I would start with a small bistro table and two chairs to enjoy coffee or dinner outside," she says. "If you've got a family who loves to eat outside or someone who likes entertaining outside, go with a dining table and chairs and or a bench." To help determine which outdoor furniture pieces to invest in, consider the arrangement first. Brayton likes to create different seating zones. "Depending on what your space looks like, a place for dining will likely be the first area to appear, and then perhaps it's a two-seater bench at the end of your patio or yard, or behind your dining table," she says. "Maybe two deeper lounge chairs show up in an opposite part of the space." She also advises picking furniture that matches your home's architecture, as well as the style of your interiors, including color scheme, furniture shapes, and materials. Whether your home leans contemporary and modern or has a more rustic and bohemian vibe, it's best to choose outdoor furniture that reflects that aesthetic so your entire home flows together. In terms of material, she suggests pieces made with wicker, iron, and teak. As Brayton points out, outdoor furniture will likely develop a patina over time, which we shouldn't be afraid to embrace because it adds charm and shows depth. She also loves incorporating upholstery and textiles to soften up the space. "Seasonally, you can switch out blankets or pillows to make seating more comfortable," she says. However, she recommends using covers and outdoor storage to protect fabrics from weather, staining, and sun-bleaching. Where can you buy the best outdoor furniture? "Big-box retailers have some great looking outdoor pieces," Brayton says. Stores like Amazon, Target, and Wayfair sell plenty of options that vary in design and price points. We're also fond of outdoor collections from West Elm, Article, and Castlery. Ahead, we curated the best, most comfortable outdoor furniture pieces on the market for a stylish oasis in your backyard - no matter the time of year.

We have a lot to thank Emily Mariko for. From her viral salmon rice recipe to sweet treats like frozen grapes and chocolate-covered dates, the content creator keeps TikTok feeds filled with delicious, yet attainable, recipes. Just like everyone else, she spent a lot of time watching content creators, which actually inspired her own journey. She tells PS, "After years and years of watching, I got the courage to start posting myself." During the height of COVID lockdown, Mariko spent more time in the kitchen, eventually leading her to get more creative with her meals. "I really go based on what I'm craving that day or what's in season," she says. "I kind of just listen to my body, listen to what I want to eat, and then have fun in the kitchen and try to experiment and come up with something good." Although it may be intimidating to start cooking if you're a beginner in the kitchen, Mariko has few tips for keeping it fun. "Meal kits are a really perfect way for the beginner cook to get familiar with the kitchen. They're really convenient, everything is kind of written out for you, with step-by-step instructions. It's delivered straight to your door. All the ingredients are either pre-made or pre-chopped and perfectly portioned, and it takes a lot of the pressure off if you are just starting to learn," she says. Mariko recently partnered with Green Chef to create eight of her own farm-fresh meal kits so you can enjoy her recipes in the comfort of your home without the hassle of grocery shopping. "My favorite one is the sockeye salmon with a sweet heat pan sauce. If you're like me and you love a savory sweet combo, I think you're going to really like that one," she says. A few other culinary tips? Mariko recommends doubling up recipes so you'll have leftovers for lunch, and perhaps even dinner the next day. Also, whenever you find yourself chopping onions next, wear contacts to prevent the dreaded tears, if you have them. When she's not whipping up recipes in the kitchen, Mariko loves to browse her local farmer's market. She recommends investing in fish and seafood, fresh fruits, especially ones in season, and anything unique that you can't easily find in your grocery store. "For me in particular, it's these purple Japanese sweet potatoes, and I get them from a Japanese stand at my farmer's market, and I can't find them anywhere else," she says. Beyond her top farmer's market picks, Mariko shared her current favorite products with us ahead, including her go-to Diptyque scent and her favorite water brand.

Renowned board-certified dermatologist Shereene Idriss, MD, otherwise known as PillowtalkDerm on TikTok to her 752K followers, has had a passion for medicine since she was a little girl. It was fueled by a love of artistry, specifically painting and sculpting, which helped her develop a keen eye and attention to detail. Now, as a seasoned professional, her favorite part of practicing dermatology is witnessing her patients' transformations. "Watching how they've evolved [and] how they're becoming more confident, not just in their looks, but in their personalities" is something that Dr. Idriss finds very fulfilling. Her journey on social media started in 2018 when she wanted to find an outlet to help people outside the walls of her office. She wanted to replicate that feeling she gives her patients in office to a wider audience, especially those who might not have the privilege of seeing a dermatologist. Her goal was to "give people information so they don't get taken for a ride," Dr. Idriss tells POPSUGAR. "I just started answering questions and not caring about what I looked like or sounded like. I was literally in bed with my retainer and my glasses, and I didn't care. It was so liberating and freeing." She also wanted to help people find affordable and effective skin-care products. "To get a message from somebody in Europe telling me I've helped them overcome their insecurities, or a teenager because I helped with their acne - I was shocked that I could have an impact beyond a face-to-face connection. That's what drove me," she says. It was that connection to her audience that also inspired her to create her own namesake skin-care line, Dr. Idriss. When she's not treating her patients at her practice and demystifying the world of skin care on TikTok, Dr. Idriss loves to spend her time experimenting with cooking and traveling. Ahead, you can check out her current must-have products, including an unconventional skin-care product, her favorite pajamas, and more.

Finding our perfect foundation shade down to the undertone, with the right consistency and coverage is no easy feat. We're always looking for the best formulas on the market and have tried plenty of options over the years. Although most popular foundation tend to be liquid, we were eager to see if stick formulas would live up to our standards, specifically the Ilia Skin Rewind Blurring Complexion Stick. Our editors are already fans of Ilia's lineup of minimal makeup and skin care, whether it's the bestselling Super Serum Skin Tint, the moisturizing Base Face Milk, or the illuminating Bright Start Activated Eye Cream. When we learned that the brand had recently developed a skin-care-infused complexion stick in a whopping 40 shades, we decided to have three POPSUGAR editors put it to the test. The Skin Rewind Blurring Complexion Stick is supposed to be a medium-coverage foundation that's also buildable enough to double as a concealer. It contains a ceramide-peptide complex, butterfly lavender extract, and kelp extract, which are supposed to help visibly firm and smooth the skin while strengthening its barrier and improving luminosity. Since it's a stick format, you can swipe the complexion stick directly onto the skin or wherever you need the most coverage and blend it with a beauty sponge, a dense brush, or your fingers. The formula is supposed to melt into the skin and settle into a natural matte finish. The brand states that it's supposed to be long-wearing for up to 12 hours and instantly give the skin a blurred, smooth appearance. It's available in 40 shades in a variety of undertones. We asked three editors with different skin tones and skin types to put the new Skin Rewind Blurring Complexion Stick to the test. Keep reading to see what we thought and how it held up to each of our complexions' needs. Related: 3 Editors Put Ariana Grande's New Satin-Matte Blush to the Test
