Teeth whitening is trending again not because it’s new, but because it instantly elevates your appearance without changing your features. A whiter smile can make skin look brighter, makeup look cleaner, and your overall look feel more put-together — even on low-effort days.

Hydration advice is everywhere — drink more water, carry a Stanley, add electrolytes. While internal hydration is important, it’s only part of the picture. If your skin still feels tight, dull, or dry despite drinking plenty of water, you’re not doing anything wrong. Your skin may simply not be able to hold onto that hydration.
