There are so many phone, text, email, and internet scams these days that it wouldn’t be surprising if you or a loved one, such as an elderly parent, hadn’t already fallen for one or more of these schemes.

But with a curated, targeted skincare routine, your complexion can absolutely stand the test of time—so long as your regimen is packed with ingredients that help fight the clock. Those fine light-fighting actives are out there, say our dermatological experts, who shared their favorites below.

Today’s cat litters are made from several types of materials. The first litter for indoor use was invented by Edward Lowe in the late 1940s, according to NPR, when he realized that the clay he sold to construction companies was absorbent enough to soak up waste and would be much better than the sand that people currently used. Clay eventually became the dominant choice for cat litter and, since then, new materials have been developed for the use in our cats’ litter boxes over the past century....

porsha terry wedding jamaica guests suits Credit: Jillian Mitchell Photography The bride’s attire tends to take center stage at a wedding, but there are plenty of well-dressed men taking part in the big day, too. While the groomsmen are often given parameters to dress within, it can be hard for a wedding guest to know what’s appropriate to wear. Ladies often bemoan how much easier it is for guys to get ready, but men deal with their fair share of fashion conundrums-like the one we recently posed to a variety of experts: Is it as much of a fashion faux-paus for a man to wear white to a wedding as it is for a woman?...

But plating one serving at a time means that by the time everyone sits down for breakfast, they won’t be warm enough to melt the all-important pat of butter.
