Can Menopause Cause Dehydration? What OB/GYNs Want You To Know


Correlation doesn’t necessarily mean causation.

I’ve always wanted to be the kind of person who spends long, luxurious hours on their beauty routine—someone who dry brushes, takes indulgent bubble baths, or has a multi-step skin-care regimen with a zillion different serums. But the truth is, that just ain’t me. I’m more of a how-fast-can-I-get-ready kinda gal and I’ve learned to embrace it. To be clear, that doesn’t mean I roll out of bed and settle for looking like a bridge troll every day (okay, at least not every day). Instead, I invest in hair, skin, and nail products that aim to simplify—and shave minutes off—my routine. Sound like something you’d be into, too? Read on for a few streamlined beauty products that will save you precious time, without compromise.

Best Nail Time-Saver: Londontown, Bubble Pink Illuminating Nail Concealer — $20.00

We’re big fans of Londontown’s Kur nail concealers here at W+G, and this bubble pink color is pretty much perfect. Unlike regular nail polish, this concealer aims to—you guessed it—conceal imperfections like dull spots and yellowing. Plus, the formula includes nourishing ingredients like evening primrose oil, porcelain flower extract, garlic bulb extract, and vitamin E. Best of all, it dries quickly (time saver!) and the iridescent sheen makes nails look clean and bright, as if you just strutted out of the salon.

Pros: 

  • Nourishing herbal ingredients boost nail health
  • Conceals yellowed, dingy nails
  • Bright sheen gives a salon finish (without the salon)
