By now, you’re likely familiar with Peace Out’s unique products—each drop from the brand takes the skincare market by storm thanks to its distinctive formula and clever design. Therefore, I consider myself to be extremely lucky to be in-the-know about what Peace Out has on the horizon. When I got the opportunity to test the newest brainchild of founder and CEO, Enrico Frezza, a few weeks ago, I was all too eager to share with StyleCaster readers once the time arrived. Well folks, it’s officially here. 

The Acne Day Dot is similar to the OG acne dot you know and love, but with some upgraded features that make it suitable for daytime wear (not that I’m above wearing any type of pimple patch out in public.) First off, it’s thinner than its predecessor by 61 percent, making it less detectable to the average eye. But beyond its slimmer design, the most exciting element is that it can be hidden even further by applying makeup overtop. Anything from foundation to concealer to cream bronzer will camouflage its very existence.

Basically, the ultra-sheer acne dot gets to work on healing breakouts while you go about your day—if that’s not convenient, I don’t know what is. Acne-fighting + skin soothing ingredients like salicylic acid, retinol and aloe vera leaf extract help minimize the feel and appearance of blemishes, while the hydrocolloid polymer technology extracts impurities and protects the area from outside aggressors, such as pollution or even skin-picking.

Plus, it’s incredibly easy to maneuver. Simply apply the dot onto clean, dry skin, making sure to avoid any creases or peeling around the edges of the patch (using tweezers to remove it from the sheet is a safe method). Proceed with your go-to makeup base overtop, and finish off with powder to lock it all in place. The dot can be worn for up to 6 hours at a time, meaning you can peel it off after a long day’s work to see your results.

While I’ll definitely stick with the original acne dots during nighttime, the addition of these day dots into my routine has definitely made getting rid of pesky breakouts all the more easier. Whether I’m  sporting them to the gym, the office or out on the town, I feel more confident that my acne-prone skin is getting the TLC it needs while I live my daily life. 

The Acne Day Dot is available on the brand’s website and Sephora, starting at $19 per box.

Rihanna has done it again. You might even want to switch out your trusty Laneige lip mask for her latest drop — at least some of the time. Fenty Skin released its new Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask With Pomegranate Sterols + Vitamin E (phew!) just as temperatures have started dropping and lips are getting dryer. It’s been out for about 30 seconds and TikTokers are already freaking out about its ultra-hydrating capabilities.

“I think this is the most hydrating lip balm I’ve ever put on,” TikToker Sarah Wolak said in her video. “It is very, very thick but it is working.” Makeup2theMaxx agrees, saying, “This lip mask is thick in the best way possible. It’s not sticky and all and look at the shine it gives.”

Fenty Skin created the lip mask to be a part of your self-care.

“I’m very into the little aspects of your skincare ritual,” Rihanna said in a statement. “Having a lip care routine is super fun but also so necessary to keep your pout perfectly healthy, hydrated and sexy. Plush Puddin’ is the ultimate self-care treat for your lips that I use every day and night.”

Fenty Skin.

It’s vegan and cruelty-free formula was made with coconut and castor oils (to help retain moisture), aa pomegranate and jjjoba oil complex to firm and plump the lip and pomegranate sterols to boost the skin’s barrier and boost hydration.

The unique packaging is also made with 100 percent PCR (post-consumer recycled) material and recyclable. Fenty Skin is really upping its sustainability efforts and we’re here for it. Some TikTokers say the packaging does take some getting use to since you have to turn the bottom to makce your perfect amount of product come out every time.  Hey, it beats putting your dirty nail in the post.

Medicare Part B, along with Medicare Part A, make up what is called Original Medicare. As I noted in my previous Sixty and Me blog, Medicare Part A covers inpatient care in a hospital and skilled nursing facility, hospice care and home healthcare.

Medicare Part B covers the following costs if deemed medically necessary:

• Doctors’ fees
• Outpatient care
• Home health services
• Durable medical equipment

The Cost of Medicare Part B

Medicare Part B beneficiaries pay a monthly premium, unlike Medicare Part A, where few people pay a premium. The standard Part B premium amount for 2022 is $170.10. However, that amount goes up depending on income. For example, those making over $91,000 could pay from $238.10 to $578.30 per month.

Medicare Part B premiums are automatically deducted from the monthly benefit for those receiving Social Security. Otherwise, payment can be made through check, credit card or other methods.

Expect to pay deductibles, coinsurance and copayments under Part B. The Part B annual deductible for 2022 is $233. After this is paid, coinsurance of 20% applies although some preventative services have a $0 deductible or coinsurance.

Assignment

Medicare Part B coverage only applies if a provider accepts “assignment.” Assignment means that the provider accepts the Medicare reimbursement amount as payment in full.

Unfortunately, not all providers accept assignment. Some may not accept assignment at all or only for some services and not others. These providers are considered “non-participating.” This means the beneficiary pays all non-participating provider fees in full.

What Does Medicare Part B Cover?

Doctor Fees

As mentioned above, a significant part of Part B covers doctor’s fees. However, coverage is categorized as either medically necessary services or preventative services. Examples of preventive services are:

• Annual “Wellness” checkups
• Cancer screening
• Cardiovascular disease screenings
• Depression screenings
• Mammograms
• Nutrition and obesity screenings & counseling
• Shots like COVID-19, flu and Hepatitis B

Outpatient Care

Medicare Part B covers outpatient services in contrast to Part A, which covers inpatient care. Examples of outpatient care are:

• Emergency or observation services, including an overnight stay in the hospital
• Outpatient clinic services, which could include same-day surgery
• Laboratory tests and radiology services billed by the hospital
• Mental health care
• Medical supplies like bandages
• Preventive and screening services

Home Health Services

Medicare Part B, like Part A, covers some home healthcare costs. Examples of Part B covered costs are:

• Part-time skilled nursing
• Physical, speech, or occupational therapy
• Home health aide

A home health agency must be Medicare-certified to provide services. Also, in-home health services are covered only after a doctor has a face-to-face visit to certify the beneficiary needs such services.

Durable Medical Equipment

Durable medical equipment (DME- e.g. – wheelchair) costs may be covered under Medicare Part B if deemed medically necessary. The beneficiary pays only Part B deductibles and coinsurance if the DME supplier accepts assignment. DME can be either purchased or rented.

What’s Not Covered Under Medicare Part B?

There are some things Medicare Part B does not cover. Examples are:

• Routine vision, hearing and dental care services and products (e.g. – eye exams or dentures).
• Products promoting home safety like grab bars, stair lifts or medical alert systems.
• Non-medical care in long-term care facilities. For example, Medicare will cover costs for help needed for daily activities like toileting, eating or dressing.
• Medical services out of U.S. territory except in unusual situations.

You can learn more about Medicare Part B by checking out the Medicare website or downloading the latest Medicare and Me handbook. Also, look for my future blog posts on Sixty and Me for more valuable Medicare information. For an even deeper dive, check out my Medicare eBook at Cantissimo Senior Living.

Gizelle Bryant was very fashionably late on time for Karen’s big 5-9 party. She was wearing a classy pleated chain strap jumpsuit. I like this style of jumpsuit because it looks like a dress, but has the benefits of pants. Those benefits being of course movin’ and groovin’ in ways you couldn’t in a dress. But a big move you can make in any article of clothing is the move down to the links and Style Stealers below to get a new fab jumpsuit.

Jess
