It seems counterintuitive to put oil on your face when most of us don't want to look oily — especially if we already happen to have oily, acne-prone or combination skin. But that hasn't stopped companies from making new face oils seemingly every week.
They usually smell great and feel luxurious, but are they actually doing anything for you? Experts tell us that the answer to that depends on both the oil and your skin.

Beauty editor Jacqueline Kilikita writes: "As a beauty editor with problem skin, which consists of bouts of hormonal acne and the odd eczema flare-up, I sometimes find it difficult to hone my skin care routine. From vitamin C serums and luxe facial oils to new ingredients, like polyglutamic acid and vitamin K, it's my job to try everything. But I know exactly which formulas will break me out and give me flaky eyelids, and which components (usually acids and retinoids) my skin responds well to. While my skin is in a good place at the moment, it could be better."

If a hotel demonstrates exemplary service in distinct, elegant surroundings, it can potentially be rewarded with a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star designation. When that property extends those elements to its restaurant, it may earn another top honor. And when the hotel brings those same philosophies to life at its spa, it not only opens the door for another Five-Star, but it steps into rarified air as a triple Five-Star winner.

You probably already know that acquiring new customers costs more than retaining the ones you already have. Acquiring new customers can be a staggering five to 25 times more expensive than retaining a customer you already have. On the flip side, if you increase customer retention rates by only 5 percent, you can raise profits by 25 to 95 percent, according to Bain & Company research. That's the power of customer loyalty, and yet, it's an area most companies can do much better in. Read on to find out the research-backed characteristics shoppers want from your loyalty program.

In order to maximize your social media marketing process, you need to conduct tests. You can't know what your audience responds best to without trying different content formats, for example, you can't know the best times to post to reach your specific target market, or the best image types and hashtags, without experimenting to see what actually works.

But in the first multi-state effort to measure textbook efficacy since the implementation of the Common Core, researchers at the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University saw no difference in the average fourth- and fifth-grade math achievement gains of schools using different elementary math textbooks. At current levels of curriculum usage and professional development, textbook choice alone does not seem to improve student achievement.

Faculty Focus
College teachers often enter their classrooms with thousands of hours of experience in their chosen field, and they typically face students who have little to no experience with that field of study. In this setting, teachers may take for granted all that they know and are able to do. In a sense, they expect students to "get inside their head." One of the joys of teaching is finding ways to take complex topics and present them in such a way that students begin their own journey of discovery. Generally speaking, students learn through explanation, example and experience. Unfortunately, teachers sometimes rely too much on explaining the knowledge, lingo and methodologies of their discipline.
