Casey: What can I do about my adult acne? I’ve tried lots of treatments but nothing helps.

Have you tried Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care System? I love this line and would strongly suggest you check it out. I used Proactive for a long time and never saw any results, but with Clinique I’ve been able to avoid major breakouts and control my oily T-zone. It’s best to speak with a dermatologist, but if you’re in a major department store and see a Clinique counter, head over and have them analyze your skin type.

Sarah: I wanted to know which foundation between these is the best: L’Oreal True Match or L’Oreal Infallible Make-up or Maybelline Superstay Silky. I really want foundation that is really light and doesn’t look like I have applied it. Can you please tell me or even suggest any better foundation then the ones I have mentioned?

Hi Sarah!  When looking for that perfect foundation, the first step is to determine what skin type you are (dry, oily or combo) and proceed from there; A professional makeup artist or dermatologist would be able to help you out with this.   Unfortunately, I haven’t tried any of the products you were asking about. However, if light coverage is what you are looking for, I have tried Cover Girl’s CG Smoothers SPF 15 Tinted Moisture.  It took place of my daily moisturizer, and added a hint of color to even out my skin tone.  I would also look into trying mineral makeup.  I hope this helps you out and best of luck finding your perfect foundation!!

Lauren: What is an economical yet effective way to whiten teeth?

Great question! I’ve got a bit of an obsession with teeth whitening and have tried just about everything available over the counter. I started my journey to whiter teeth with Crest’s White strips. They were convenient and didn’t interfere with my normal activities. After about eight months, I re-whitened and got an even brighter smile. Now I just keep it up with whitening toothpastes. Another trick I learned is to eat a quarter lemon after meals. The acid from the lemon juice breaks up stains but can be harmful to your teeth, which is why you should be careful with this one. Also, keep in mind that coffee, dark sodas, teas, red wine, and smoking stain teeth, so try to keep away from these after whitening or you’ll end up with the same problem.
