If you’ve ever wondered what luxury skincare feels like, wait no more. La Mer, a top luxury beauty brand, has attracted the likes of Kim Kardashian West and Chrissy Teigen, and the source of most of this celeb attention is none other than the brand’s coveted Crème De La Mer moisturizer. However, there’s a new sheriff in town, and thanks to Amazon’s Black Friday sales, her price tag is $333.50 cheaper. Yes, you read that number correctly, and no, we’re not that bad at math.

Crème De La Mer is a celeb of its own because of its ability to do just about everything good for your skin. It has an ultra-rich formula that deeply moisturizes, heals, and protects. It even minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles—and after all our holiday shopping and wrapping up the year, we sure could use it. But all of this is no match for Mario Badescu’s way more affordable alternative. It calls on similar ingredients like seaweed extract, glycerin, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to give your skin all the moisture it deserves—at a fraction of its competitor’s price.

If you still don’t believe that a $17 moisturizer could mimic one that’s $350, head over to the reviews section where more than 1,200 shoppers have given this product a perfect five-star rating. 

“This product is AMAZING. By far the best facial moisturizer I have ever used,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “I previously used La Mer which broke the bank at $175 a container. This product works just as well if not better.”

Usually $22, this La Mer dupe is on sale for Black Friday for just under $17, so you’ll have savings on savings with this buy. 

The oil-free formula is suitable for combination, oily, and sensitive skin types, which is a major bonus since you’ll wake up with a more nourished and illuminated complexion. Not only does it hydrate your skin with hyaluronic acid, it also gives your skin a plump bounce that you’re definitely going to want this chilly winter and beyond. The collagen and elastin, in particular, are packed with proteins that help smooth lines.

“Incredible moisturizer. Instantly hydrating and thick, but does not cause breakouts. I’ve been having problematic skin because of wearing masks in the heat of summer, and this is seriously helping. I’ve been using all kinds of clearing products that dry out the skin, in addition to retinol, which leaves skin feeling tight, but the minute I put this on, all those issues vanish. I wake up with baby soft skin. Seriously impressed with this affordable product,” wrote another shopper.

Now that we’ve hopefully convinced you of this moisturizer’s irresistibly good ingredients and unbelievably effective results, it’s time to check out. Soon, you won’t even remember the name La Mer and will instead be basking in the glory of having healthy, glowing skin all thanks to this Mario Badescu moisturizer.

Heather Gay’s Black Crystal Studded Sunglasses While Dogsledding in Vail

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 2 Episode 11 Fashion

Although I probably 100% wouldn’t have chosen a day of dogsledding had I been on the RHOSLC Vail trip (shopping is obv much more up my alley), I definitely would chose to wear Heather Gay’s black crystal studded sunglasses if I had the opportunity. However it’s looking like I’m gunna have to just settle for a Style Stealer, because as you know sometimes finding stuff still in stock months after filming can be a real b*tch.

Fashionably,

Faryn

It’s hard to say when the Black Friday 2021 sales kicked off this year, since the savings holiday seems to creep further and further from the actual holidays every fall.

While a cool brisk morning might signal an exciting change in seasons, for older adults who suffer from arthritis it can also lead to painful joint stiffness and inflammation. Why does colder weather seem to amplify aches and pains?

Research suggests it’s actually the drop in atmospheric (barometric) pressure when inclement weather moves in, especially during the fall and winter, that worsens joint pain.

That change in pressure can stress vulnerable joints, even to a point where people with arthritis feel like they can predict rain and cold weather moving in simply by their sensation of pain. Sound familiar?

Don’t let fall and winter weather keep you from doing the activities you love. Check out these 6 top tips for preventing and managing arthritis pain in cold weather.

Wear Layers

Layers play an important role in helping you stay warm, especially when spending extended periods of time outdoors in cooler weather.

Tight, clingy clothing, however, can make it more difficult to move, particularly for folks with a limited range of motion due to joint tightness. Wearing loose layers of less breathable fabrics (not cotton) instead will help you retain body heat as well as move around and stay active.

Remember Gloves, Hats and Scarves

One of the most shocking things about hypothermia is that you don’t have to be in below freezing temperatures to experience it.

Prolonged exposure to cooler temperatures – combined with moisture – can cause your body to lose body heat fast, especially from extremities like the nose, toes and fingers.

Keep your body parts protected at all times by wearing warm gloves, thick socks, hats that cover your ears and scarves around your neck when you go outside in cold weather.

Wear Waterproof Shoes

Nothing exacerbates cold sensitivity quite like being cold and wet. Especially during winter weather conditions including ice, snow or freezing rain, it’s critical to wear waterproof shoes/boots to keep your feet dry and warm.

Cramped, painful, arthritic feet tend to inhibit your mobility and can increase the risk of experiencing a debilitating fall. If you are exercising outside, say on a fall hike or bike ride, make sure your sneakers offer water resistance to keep you from losing critical body heat through your feet.

Stick with Exercise

It might seem much more inviting to curl up by a warm fire with a good book than to don workout clothes and get your routine exercise in, but physical activity is even more important during the fall and winter months.

Heart-pounding exercise can help warm your body, loosen stiff joints and relieve muscle tension – all things which aid pain relief. Orthotic aids can help keep arthritis sufferers moving, like ankle braces or knee sleeves.

The best knee sleeves offer compression, stabilization and support, in addition to actively wicking away moisture. Find indoor activities to keep you busy during cold weather months, like yoga, strength training, swimming or walking on a treadmill.

Eat Warming Foods

Foods with thermogenic properties, or the ability to raise your body temperature, can be beneficial for fighting arthritis inflammation anytime, but seem even more apt in cold weather.

Ginger, turmeric and cayenne are commonly referred to spices for naturally combating arthritis inflammation, while other foods like citrus fruits (oranges and lemons) have been shown to exhibit vasodilation properties.

Relaxed and expanded blood vessels tend to let more blood flow through, increasing body temperature little by little.

Get a Massage

Wondering what to ask for Christmas this year? Consider dropping hints to your significant other about getting a massage!

The Arthritis Foundation shares that massage therapy can be powerfully effective when it comes to pain reduction. In addition to easing muscle tension, massage can make stiff joints more pliable, boost blood circulation, and even trigger serotonin release in the brain.

During winter, consider asking for heat applications with your massage including hot stones or warming lotions.

The world can’t get enough of Tatcha and its skin-loving products. And by world, we mean celebs like Jennifer Aniston, Meghan Markle, and Drew Barrymore, among many others. But join the club (if you haven’t already), because Tatcha is going all out for us this Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Known for its celeb-loved skincare essentials, Tatcha is giving us the best gift we could ask for this Black Friday: a site-wide sale. Take 20% off everything you can find, and that even includes sets. As a bonus, you’ll get a free two-piece gift set with your order of $100 or more, or a four-piece gift set with your order of $200 or more. Just make sure you place your order between November 22 and December 1, which is plenty of time to come up with a game plan for tackling this beast of a sale. 

On the top of our shopping list is Jennifer Aniston‘s go-to lip essential, Tatcha’s Kissu Lip Mask, a deeply nourishing and hydrating product that is more than ideal for this chilly winter ahead. Other fans of the brand include Meghan Markle, who’s all about the gently exfoliating Rice Enzyme Powder. Debby Ryan, and Olivia Culpo have also shown their love for several of the brand’s other carefully-crafted skincare products. These include best-selling products you’ve probably already heard of, such as the super gentle Rice Wash cleanser or the Luminous Dewy Skin Mist. They have the purple packaging you could spot anywhere, and the skin-loving formulas to back them up.

Tatcha’s offerings run the gamut, but we’ve done the dirty work of digging up the seven best and most popular products you’ll want to take home with you this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Having any amount of self discipline won’t be easy, so we suggest going all in. You won’t have any regrets, though, because your skin will be looking absolutely flawless.

The Kissu Lip Mask

Jennifer Aniston is goals in every way, so when we find out that she keeps her lips full and hydrated with Tatcha’s lip mask, we buy it immediately. And you should, too, because the leave-on jelly formula taps on Japanese peach extract to give you a plumper pout. There’s also a limited-edition version that has adorable packaging and a subtle tint.

The Rice Polish

Mix this foaming enzyme powder with water, and voila, you have the Meghan Markle-approved Rice Polish. This exfoliator helps with evening out texture, getting rid of dullness, and reducing the appearance of pores. But it doesn’t harm your skin barrier or leave you with dry, stripped, irritated skin.

The Dewy Skin Cream

When we think of Tatcha, we think of a lit from within, glowing complexion. The Dewy Skin Cream can help you get there, since it’s enriched with antioxidants like Japanese purple rice. The formula is ideal for dry to mature skin, but can also be used on combination skin.

Luminous Dewy Skin Mist 

You’ll want this illuminating and refreshing skin mist on hand all winter long (well, all year long, too). Celebs such as Kathy Hilton and Kyle Richards spritz this fast-absorbing spray-on moisturizer to achieve the perfect glow.

The Camellia Cleansing Oil

If you’re like us and prefer multifunctional beauty products that save time and money, then you’ll appreciate The Camellia Cleansing Oil. It’s both a makeup remover and a cleanser that relies on camellia oil. This ingredient truly packs a punch in that it gently melts away the day’s makeup and oil, and also moisturizes your skin to silky smooth levels.

Dewy + Plumping Set

Anyone on your holiday shopping list will be lucky to get the stunning Dewy + Plumping Set from you. It includes three of Tatcha’s bestsellers, including The Rice Wash, The Dewy Serum, and The Dewy Skin Cream. The reusable cloth gift wrap is the chicest packaging we’ve seen, and your gift purchase also helps underserved children.

The Rice Wash

In case you didn’t know, the milky water leftover from cooking rice is filled to the brim with nutrients that are great for your skin. Together, they moisturize, soften, and brighten, which are three things we could definitely use more of. The Rice Wash incorporates rice powder, along with a replenishing Okinawa algae blend and hydrating hyaluronic acid.
