FAQs

Q: My sensitive skin reacts to all kinds of products, and I’m tired of trying new products in search of formulas that aren’t irritating! What should I look for that won’t make my skin condition worse?

A: Unfortunately, there isn’t one simple method for finding the right products for your skin. Your best bet is to try different formulas and note reactions so you can look for potentially irritating ingredients. However, if you think that you’re allergic to a few specific ingredients, a skin doctor can do a patch test to determine if there are definite allergies, which can save you (and your skin) a lot of trouble.

Q: I have an itchy scalp, and I’m not sure what condition I have. I think it’s either scalp folliculitis or scalp acne; how are they different?

A: Both conditions cause pimples and pustules on the scalp, which can be red and sore. These pimples are caused by clogged hair follicles. The biggest difference is that folliculitis refers to an infection, either fungal or bacterial, that must be treated with an antibiotic or anti-fungal treatment – a doctor will tell you which. Regular scalp acne can be treated with over-the-counter treatment products such as shampoos and spot treatments.

Q: I’ve been looking into doing a Brazilian blow dry, but it’s pricey; how long does it last? I’m not sure if I can justify the cost!

A: Treatments cost a few hundred dollars, but if you have curly or wavy hair that you style every day, the time you can save doing your hair every morning could be worth the high price tag. A Brazilian blow-dry works by infusing keratin into the hair strands and then blow-drying, which not only cuts frizz but also leaves hair healthier. Each treatment lasts about four months – and you’re also saving your hair from four months worth of damaging heat styling treatments!

Q: I’ve heard a lot about how skin can change during menopause, but I don’t really understand the cause. Why is my skin breaking out for the first time since puberty?

A: Similar to the changes taking place in your body during puberty, hormones are responsible for the wide array of skin concerns women face during menopause. One of the most frustrating concerns is adult acne – which happens because of increasing testosterone levels. Skincare products designed to treat adult acne are a good place to start, or see a dermatologist to diagnose your particular skin condition.
