Supermodel and founder of Rose Inc. invited us to witness her morning routine as she gets ready for the day in this new episode of Waking Up With. She takes us through her simple, aesthetician-approved skincare routine, reveals her must-have morning drinks, and the antibacterial towels that save her skin.

Did you know the towel you use matters just as much as the skincare products you put on your face? Think about how often you use your towel — every time you wash your face, you reach for that towel to pat dry. So you’re probably using that towel at least twice a day. Experts recommend that towels should be washed after three uses. It’s easy to lose track of how many days you’ve used the towel, and suffice to say it’s likely the towel is not being washed as frequently as necessary.

The Lineup is a monthly series where we're giving you an inside peek at the beauty lineups of cool fashion people, editors, makeup artists, hairstylists, and estheticians—all the people we trust the most. Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at all the can't-live-without products that make their worlds go round.

Yes, you do need a specialized towel that cares for your skin. This one is perfect because A) it comes in chic shades that suit every bathroom, such as this almond color, and B) it stops bad bacteria from forming on your towel that then transfer to your skin. Need a C) too? Rosie Huntington-Whiteley swears by it.

We all know that exercise is good for us, including for our skin, as increased blood flow brings nourishing nutrients to your largest organ. However, workout-related breakouts are a real problem for many people. This is because increased sweat and dirt block the pores, which can cause the skin to react in the form of unwanted acne.

In a recent interview with Glamour, supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley breaks down her acne-fighting skin-care routine, which taps a handful of hard-hitters from across the board

I never thought I would find myself relating to Rosie Huntington-Whitely—have you seen the woman?—but just minutes into our call, I couldn't help myself from nodding along to everything she said as she told me about her experience with adult acne, and the extremely thorough routine she's built to keep it under control.

Back in 2019, BAZAAR.com Beauty Director Jenna Rosenstein shared her 19-step nighttime skincare routine and tips for keeping her skin glowy and youthful. Today, she’s back to share her updated beauty and wellness regimen, and review her pre-pandemic skincare routine. One thing is for sure, a lot can change in a year.

When we think of skin free from blackheads, dead skin cells, and the day's grime, we often envision post-cleanser skin that feels a bit taught and ready for the rest of our skin-care routine.

Dermatologists do the heavy lifting when you come in for an intense pulsed light treatment or fractionated laser treatment, but the work isn't done when you leave the office. Here's how to make sure you encourage the best possible results during your recovery with expert-recommended aftercare.

Beauty is subjective to each person, what is beautiful for one person might not be the epitome of loveliness to another. For this beauty edit, we’ve decided to round up our most asked about beauty tips for all sorts of skin. 

Back breakouts feel straight-up not fair. Why do some suffer frequent back blemishes and others have effortlessly clear skin back there? After worrying so much about the clarity and perfection of our faces, we now have to stress about a much larger area that we can hardly reach? 

Now I do, and can confirm the hype around the Resoré Body hypoallergenic towel is for real. It’s naturally anti microbial and bacterial (therefore: odour free)

Sometimes, it takes a jaw-dropping realization to spur you to change. For me, that was when I realized that face towels were basically fertile breeding grounds for icky bacteria. Image via @jessicasharris

If you follow Victoria Beckham, Nicole Warne, or Joan Smalls on Instagram, you might be familiar with Melanie Grant — or at least her hands. After all, it’s the aesthetician’s hands that guide celebrities and influencers through her facials in Australia (where she has two studios in Sydney and Melbourne), Los Angeles (where she set up shop in West Hollywood), and Paris (where she holds a residency during every Paris Fashion Week as Chanel’s Skin Expert).

In this episode of Go to Bed with Me, Huntington-Whiteley shares some new beauty secrets just with BAZAAR, from her favorite bath scrub and towels to how she keeps her lips plump and hydrated in the dead of winter.

Like it or not, towels are often teeming with bacteria. Warmth and moisture are the equivalent to rent-controlled, Fifth Avenue apartments with views of the park for microorganisms: too good to be true, impossible to not move into. When bacteria invades towels that touch our skin, the inevitable result is annoying acne and irritation, not to mention a musty smell. That's why the Resoré Body Towel is such a revelation

Wouldn’t it be nice if we all just grew out of acne at a certain age? Ohp, 27 now, officially time to stop breaking out, hooray! Unfortunately, however, that’s not how skin works. It may seem cruel that our most forward-facing, interactive body part, aka the facial complexion, must be victim to breakouts for most of our lives, following (most of) us beyond our pubescent years. Here are some hacks from Kourt and Sarah Howard’s go-to derm, Eric Lovato, PA-C, and dermatologist, Dr. Gene Rubinstein of Dermatology and Laser Centre.

We’ll cut to the chase and break down why Resorè towels deserve a slot in your daily bathroom routine.

Finding time for self-care is always vital, but for Rosie, it takes on new meaning as the seasons change. “In the winter months, I find myself cozying up in my bathroom in the evening taking long baths, long showers, and really finding that time to indulge in a self-care routine.

Self-care means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but if one thing was made clear in 2020, understanding and tending to whatever self-care looks like for you and your loved ones is crucial

Another year has come and gone, and with 2020 came a wealth of game-changing beauty products. From innovative skincare formulations to irresistible scents, these are 20 of the most remarkable beauty launches this year.

Each month, Allure editors break down the latest and greatest skin-care launches. Looking for more in skin care? Here are some of the best new products.

With supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whitely as the face of the brand, Resorè launched in October with a line of face and bath towels it says are better for anti-aging and acne than a regular towel. 

Acne is infamous for its unsightly and sometimes painful physical symptoms (which can even lead to negative psychological effects). The road to clearer skin is long, with suitable regimens often encompassing strong active ingredients, in-office treatments, supplements, and prescription medications like spironolactone or Accutane to manage the most stubborn breakouts (like hormonal or cystic acne). Not to mention, pandemic-era reliance on face masks has intensified patient complaints of breakouts for many aestheticians and dermatologists, as even those with historically clear skin have fallen victim to “masksne” on the lower half of the face and chin.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a model, actress, and mom but there's another title she deserves: Skincare expert. Over the past year, Rosie has shared several videos on her YouTube channel that give a glimpse inside her skincare routine and we've gotta say, the woman has got some impressive beauty knowledge. Not only does she share her impressive ingredient knowledge, but also that she struggles with sensitive, acne-prone skin.

A lot of science goes into this super-soft piece of fabric, but the biggest and most important takeaway is that it kills 99.9 percent of bacteria and germs. The idea for this innovation is based on research that we, humans, don’t wash our towels as often as we should. Moral of the story: If you’re not going to wash it, you might as well invest in a product that can clean itself and prevent that yucky dirty towel smell.

Okay, honesty time—how often do you wash your towels? Whatever your answer is, it’s probably not nearly enough. No surprise that improperly washed towels can carry skin-irritating bacteria (here’s a reminder to clean your phone and pillowcases too). "Gross" is an understatement, especially in this coronavirus-era we're currently living in.

When it comes to gift giving, it's absolutely the thought that counts. After all, as you'll learn from any Hallmark holiday movie, that's the true meaning of the season. But let's be real: Sometimes you feel compelled to go all out and treat someone special to a totally over-the-top present they'd never think to buy themselves. Maybe you just want to treat yourself, too. No judgment here, you deserve something for getting through this incredibly stressful year. Well, we have some gifts in mind for you. 

Skin-friendly bacteria have become a hot topic in the beauty world, even though the thought still might make you squirm. Poetry has been waxed about the wonders of keeping your skin’s natural microbiome in check, so much so that you might forget that there are microorganisms you don’t want invited to the party
