Here's One Skincare Ingredient You Definitely Won't Find in Cardi B's Routine

In case you weren't aware, Twitter is home to an expansive skincare community. Like any other public platform, you'll find a mixture of enthusiasts and novices offering up firsthand reviews and advice, but make no mistake, there are plenty of experts in the mix as well. And when you're a celebrity with millions of followers looking to crowdsource a huge pool of recommendations, it's not a bad place to start. Rapper Cardi B did just that last week when she took to Twitter to air her grievances about some annoying skincare woes and put out an APB for any hydrating, breakout-clearing products she could try. What came next was a fast and furious response from the Bardi Gang along with some surprising revelations about the musician's recent skincare experiences.

"I think it’s the water out here .....What are some good products for little black heads break outs and dry skin on your face ?" the "WAP" songstress tweeted to her nearly 17 million Twitter followers after explaining her struggles on January 25. The ensuing back-and-forth included callouts of popular skincare brands like CeraVe and The Ordinary and ingredient recommendations like retinol, which is largely revered as a go-to for evening the complexion and quelling unwanted texture. But according to her tweets, Cardi B simply isn't a fan of retinol. For someone whose skin always appears so smooth in her Instagram selfies, this was quite the shock!

Everyone is different, so of course, retinol isn't the best choice for all skin types. (If you need a refresher on who the best candidates are and who should steer clear, check out this expert breakdown.) In an exchange where a follower recommended a 1 to 2% concentration of the stuff, Cardi B explained that she had actually been prescribed it by a derm just weeks prior but that it left her skin dry and burning. When another user chimed in to inform Cardi B of the well-known purging phase that goes along with starting a retinol regimen, Cardi B came back with the response, "Yea the doctor told me that ...I don’t got time for my face to do that." Fair enough! 

But it looks like Cardi B did pick up some worthwhile skincare advice in her mentions. Aside from singer Kehlani popping up to recommend a consult with skin guru Sean Garrette, another user recommended she check out cult-favorite brand The Ordinary, calling out its Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum and AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. "Imma buy today," the rapper replied.
We'll be keeping tabs on any skin-related updates Cardi B might share, but in the meantime, keep scrolling to see more skincare recommendations users dropped in her mentions and keep your eyes peeled to see if your favorite breakout and hydration remedies made the list.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
