Facial hair! Why am I seeing more of it as I age? How do I get rid of it?
Blame (totally normal) hormone changes. Dark and coarse? Laser or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal is best. If hairs are fine, try threading, bleaching, or waxing.
I have undereye puffiness due to allergies. What can I do?
Treat the allergies—the puffiness should go down. Tip: Keep eye cream in the fridge; the cold helps constrict blood vessels, reducing bags.
Is there such a thing as over-exfoliating your face? How often should I be scrubbing?
Yep. Too much causes irritation, stinging, breakouts. Limit exfoliating to once a week with a gentle scrub (not too hard!) and moisturize.
How can I get rid of freckles on my shoulders and chest?
Have a skin check to make sure they’re freckles, not skin cancer. To remove, IPL or Fraxel lasers at the derm are the best bets.
I’ve got the not-so-lovely duo of oily skin and large pores. Can anything tackle both?
Look for products with glycolic or salicylic acid and retinol. Sunscreen’s a must because the sun makes skin oilier and pores bigger.
I’m seeing blotchy, red spots on my body. What’s that all about?
Get checked by a derm; hard to say without seeing them, but hives, psoriasis, heat rash, and eczema are all possibilities—and treatable.
What can I do about crepey eyelid skin?
Retinol creams boost collagen and reduce crepiness, but for max results, ask your derm about chemical peels or laser treatments.
I have brown spots on my face and hands. What’s really effective?
Ingredients like retinol, soy, licorice, or kojic acid lighten, but a laser treatment gives even better results. Sunscreen every day!
Is wearing a full face of makeup every day bad for my skin?
No … as long as you don’t sleep in it. Makeup keeps your pores covered up, and it’s much better to let skin breathe at night.
