  • FAQs

    A: Absolutely! The lips are especially vulnerable to UV damage. In fact, they’re 11 times thinner than the skin on your face and body. Look for lip balm with SPF 15 or higher. The lips aren’t the only place many people neglect to apply sunscreen, however. For more on commonly neglected areas, see our article here and keep your skin safe.
    A: You’ll find a comprehensive article on how to dye hair at home and manage mishaps, if they occur, here. In a nutshell, first figure out what kind of formula you need — permanent, semi, demi or temporary — and then select the shade. In general, if you’re going for something dramatic, such as from black to blond, see a stylist. You’ll find more shade-specific tips in our guide. Remember that your natural hair color and the state of your tresses (how processed is your hair?) determine the end result — not the model on the box. Read directions diligently and seek help if you experience a dye disaster.
    A: Whether you use a curling iron, straightener or blow-dryer, let hair air-dry so it isn’t sopping wet; attach a diffuser to your blow-dryer, if possible; and then, spray on a heat protectant before styling. Here’s more on timeless tips for healthy hair.
