Hear ye, hear ye: Your October 2019 wellness horoscopes are in! I’ll be honest—it looks like this month may present real challenges for most of us, culminating with 2019’s final Mercury in retrograde.

Can clean skincare help get your health back on track? In 2019, I discovered that I have Hashimoto’s (an autoimmune disease that attacks thyroid function) and hypothyroidism (the condition it spurs, resulting in major buzzkills including fatigue, depression, and weight gain). Ever since, I’ve been on the hunt to treat my thyroid gland—and endocrine system […]

There are a few skincare staples that are non-negotiable for all skin types—cleansers and sunscreen among them. But what about age-old yet often mystifying toners? Are they an integral part of a cleansing routine, an optional add-on, or simply superfluous? To better understand toner, its benefits, and best practices, we consulted Dr. Nancy Samolitis of […]

I don’t care what Paris Hilton says; the stars, in fact, aren’t blind. It goes without saying that Team HUM prizes wellness. On top of that, many of us have our heads in the clouds—or rather, amongst the stars—when it comes to astrology. (Trust—we’re privy to popping a Big Chill when Mercury retrograde rears its […]

First, what are the benefits of exfoliating? “Exfoliation is good for helping skin cells renew and turn over faster as old skin sheds away,” says Dr. Naissan Wesley, […]

I’ve long been on a quest for clear, matte, beautiful skin. Paired with the fact that I’m turning 30 in late July 2019—and now have to contend with gravity, wrinkles, and fine lines—you could say that with greater age, comes greater (skincare) responsibilities. Always on the lookout for the best and latest treatments, my ears […]
