But thinking outside-the-box (literally and figuratively) and treating loved ones to experience gifts can be an even more meaningful way to connect, whether you live down the street from one another or thousands of miles apart. 

Whether it’s reminders to slather on sunscreen or appeals to get regular dermatology checks, we hear about the importance of protecting our skin all the time. Another area to keep on your radar? Your makeup bag.
