FAQs

Q: Can pregnant women use sunscreen? Are pregnant women at greater risk for skin cancer and sun damage?

A: Yes, they can and definitely should apply sunscreen daily. Just check with your doctor to be sure the specific sunscreen you’re using is safe. Pregnant women are especially sun sensitive. In fact, if a pregnant woman develops melanoma, then “she’s at very high risk of it recurring during another pregnancy,” writes Nancy Rones in Redbook. To boost your protection, in addition to sunscreen, wear a wide-brimmed hat, sit in the shade and avoid peak sun hours (from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.).

Q: After I apply topcoat, is my nail polish completely dry?

A: No, topcoat may help speed the process along, and your polish may feel dry, but that doesn’t mean it completely is, writes Rona Berg in Beauty: The New Basics. In particular, the basecoat and first coat of polish may still be wet and therefore are vulnerable to chips, smudges and smears if touched.

Q: Can I use a body scrub to exfoliate my face?

A: Definitely avoid using a body scrub for your face, because it’s too harsh and abrasive, according to About’s spa guide Anitra Brown. Body scrubs are designed for the thicker, rougher skin on your body.

Q: What can I do if I’m tempted to pick at my skin, even when I don’t have pimples?

A: According to NYC dermatologist Amy Wechsler, M.D., in Self, pickers go into a “trancelike state” when they fixate on their skin. If you find yourself obsessing, get rid of the magnifying mirror and consider putting in lower-wattage bulbs so you can’t see every pore, according to Self.
