How can I even out my skin tone? | |
| |
| A. |
One of the best ways to keep skin tone even is to avoid the sun. It’s important to wear a broad-spectrum, high-SPF sunscreen everyday and to avoid sun exposure when possible. Gentle exfoliating is also a great way to even out blotchy, uneven skin. St. Ives Apricot Renew & Firm Scrub gently gets rid of dead skin cells to reveal smoother, more even skin. For the body, the Healthy Brilliance Brighten & Glow Body Polish is a wonderful product for evening out the body’s skin tone. If blotches persist, see your dermatologist who may prescribe a bleaching cream or suggest laser treatments. |

| Q. |
How can I make my pores appear smaller? |
| |
| A. |
Pores are part of the physical structure of the skin but they may seem more enlarged when they’re blocked with oil and/or dead skin cells, so working to reduce that blockage may result in the appearance of smaller pores. I recommend daily cleansing with a product like the Blemish & Blackhead Control Face Wash, and also regular, gentle exfoliation to clear out the pores. |

| Q. |
Is it possible
to control my oily skin? |
| |
| A. |
Daily cleansing with products tailored
to your skin type is essential for controlling oily skin.
Look for products with oil absorbing ingredients and acne-fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid. The Blemish & Blackhead Control Face Wash is great for daily cleansing without stripping the skin. Exfoliating weekly with a product such as the Blemish & Blackhead Apricot Scrub also helps lift away dead skin cells and oil that accumulates in pores. If oily skin persists, see your dermatologist. |

| Q. |
How can I get
rid of red bumps on my upper arms? |
| |
| A. |
This is probably keratosis pilaris, which is a condition in which there’s a buildup in the upper layer of skin around the hair follicle. To help treat this condition, I recommend regular washing with a hydrating body wash such as the Mineral Therapy body wash, as well as gentle exfoliating to reduce the buildup of dead skin cells. |
