Holiday travel is around the corner and you likely have a lot going on: last-minute work emails, last-minute packing, and last-minute shopping. The last thing you need is for your skin to go haywire. But it seems like skin always freaks out when flying, especially around the holidays. Is it the bone-dry airplane cabin? General…

Now you can summon not only medical practitioners, but also an army of hair, makeup, and wellness pros with just a few quick taps and…
Look, we love souvenir shopping just as much as the next traveler. But that shopping high you get from combing through a busy bazaar or cute local boutique doesn’t always translate to a useful purchase back home. Are you really going to put that carved back scratcher to use? Or go to the corner store…
