How young is too young for anti-aging skincare?

It's well established that kids these days are a little too obsessed with skincare products. We've all heard of tweens hosting birthday parties at Sephora, which prompted dermatologists to come out and say, "Hey, let's dial it back a bit."

But some people might be dialing it back for too long. Experts say we start losing about 1% of collagen every year beginning in our mid-20s, making early maintenance far cheaper and more effective than trying to reverse changes later.

In fact, skin experts consider daily SPF and vitamin C serums to be core anti-aging tools starting in your 20s. From there, gradually adding retinoids in your 30s for collagen support and richer barrier moisturizers in your 40s helps preserve skin health through every stage of life.

Here's the best guidance for taking care of your skin at every age.

🥜 You're shopping for peanut butter all wrong
Oil separation doesn't exactly sound appetizing, but when it comes to peanut butter? It's the bee's knees. While "no-stir" jars rely on added stabilizers, palm oil, or extra sugars, natural options usually contain just peanuts and salt. Basically, don't be afraid of a little separation. And if you're afraid of all the stirring, just store the jar in your fridge upside down. More tips here.

😭 Crying babies expect you to help them
A new study reveals that infants as young as six months expect adults to soothe a crying baby. Researchers found infants stared significantly longer when a caregiver ignored a crying baby, treating it like a violation of basic logic. Notably, babies of mothers with depression showed less surprise, proving how quickly early maternal care shapes an infant's world view.

📹 Mom charged after secretly recording her son's teacher
After suspecting her nonverbal seven-year-old son was being mistreated at school, an Australian mother sewed a recording device into his clothes.

I love a good granola. What I don’t love is paying $9 for a tiny bag of it... especially because granola is ridiculously easy to make at home.

Eat it with yogurt and berries, pour milk over it, or just grab a handful straight from the jar (no judgment if that's you.)

Maple Olive Oil Granola

Ingredients:

Directions:

Heat the oven to 325°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

Combine the oats, nuts, coconut (if using), nuts, cinnamon and salt. Pour in the olive oil, maple syrup and vanilla and stir until everything is well coated.

Spread the mixture evenly onto the sheet pan and press it down firmly with the back of a spatula.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, until deeply golden around the edges. Here’s the important part: don’t stir it. Let the granola cool completely on the pan, then break it into whatever size clusters make you happy.

Once cool, mix in dried fruit if using. Store in an airtight container (I use one like this) for a couple of weeks, assuming it lasts that long.

Make it yours:
Chocolate: Add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder before baking and chocolate chips after it cools.

PB: Whisk a few tablespoons of peanut butter into the maple syrup and olive oil.

Fall: Add cinnamon, ginger and a pinch of nutmeg, then toss in dried cranberries after baking.

More savory: Cut back slightly on the maple syrup, add extra salt and use walnuts or pecans. It’s surprisingly good sprinkled over a salad.

Last week, we asked what you’d do if you noticed a little bit of mold on a block of cheese or a slice of bread. Over 60% of you said, "Depends on the food" while around 25% said, "Trash it immediately." Only a few brave souls answered, "Cut it off and eat the rest!"
