  • Q: Erica, I am really trying to stay out of the tanning bed now. I hear it is not good for you. How can I look tan in the winter with out “tanning?”
  • A: Self-tanners are wonderful to maintain a summer glow. If you plan on using a self-tanner to bronze your skin this winter, remember to exfoliate first. This will help remove dead skin cells for an all-over, even application. Moisturizing self-tanners (like SkinCeuticals San Soleil) as well as those with an SPF factor, are great for those looking with extra protection.
  • Q: I tend to break-out on my cheeks and jawline. Is there something that I could be doing to prevent this?
  • A: Before bed, make-sure you cleanse your skin thoroughly to eliminate all traces of make-up. Also, try changing your pillowcases at least twice a week. And if you do use a hand-cream at bedtime, consider an oil-free formula or wear gloves to prevent your hands touching your face at night.
