SKINCARE CONCERNS
Q: I’m turning 30 next month, where do I start? Retinol?
A: Retinols can cause irritation & in my opinion are only needed at that age for visible wrinkles. Vitamin B3 & peptides are strengthening & plumping & boost natural collagen production.
Q: What product reduces the depth and visibility of lines around your lips?
A: Look for moisturizers or serums w/hyaluronic acid & peptides to deeply hydrate, firm & boost collagen. I love the Olay Micro-Sculpting Serum & Cream!
Q: Advice for keeping hands and neck youthful?
A: Always use a moisturizer with SPF! I keep a bottle in my car, one in my handbag, one at my desk – so that every time I wash my hands I can re-apply.
Q: I have forehead wrinkles at 22. Help!
A: Do you frown and squint a lot? Expression lines can turn into wrinkles, especially if you have dry skin. Moisturize well & use an anti-aging product overnight.
Q: I’m in my 20s how can I get rid of the fine lines around my eyes?
A: This is probably caused by dehydration. Skin around the eyes is the thinnest & driest on the face! Make a habit of using a hydrating eye cream 2x/day.
Q: What can I do to prevent and treat dark circles under my eyes? (Besides eye cream also)
A: Stress, lack of sleep, allergies? A healthy lifestyle makes a big difference for this eye problem. If it’s genetics there’s unfortunately not that much you can do. Find a hydrating and brightening eye cream with Vitamin C.
Q: I’m in my early 40s what type of eye cream should I be using to avoid wrinkles and laugh lines from development?
A: A specialized eye product like the Olay Pro-Retinol Eye Treatment. It gives intense hydration (dry skin wrinkles faster) & the pro-retinol boosts collagen production.
Q: Just moved to CO and wake up with dry skin and cracked lips- what are the best products for this?
A: Hydrate inside & out. Drink your fluids & use a moisturizer 2x/day w/ingredients like glycerin & hyaluronic acid. Mix in a skin oil overnight & a specialized lip treatment w/petrolatum.
Q: What’s the best routine to have during the winter months versus summer?
A: Summer: A sunscreen w/SPF 25 or more is a must. Keep textures light (lotions, gels, whips, serums) so skin sweats less.
Winter: Slightly heavier or richer moisturizer if you have dry skin (creams, oils), & avoid drying cleansers.
Q: What types of products are a must use every day?
A: #1 most important thing is to use a product w/UV/sun protection! & a gentle cleanser 2x/day w/a good PM moisturizer.
Q: How do I get a glow without makeup? I can’t use any fragrance. How do I get a natural glow?
A: A natural glow = sign of healthy skin. Moisturizing 2x/day & exfoliating reg are key. Uneven skin tone? Add products that tackle sun spots & hyperpigmentation.
Q: How to treat acne?
A: Gentle cleansing 2x/ day is the foundation. Look for products w/ benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Don’t over-dry your skin; use a light, mattifying moisturizer. W/severe acne, always see a dermatologist who can prescribe stronger, med products.
Q: How can you fade acne scars?
A: Look for products that also tackle other types of hyperpigmentation such as sun spots like Olay’s Luminous line & always use a moisturizer w/SPF, bc UV damage can make dark spots worse
