» Q: My wife swears that shaving in the shower is the key to a smooth, close finish. Her legs are much smoother than my face. Is she right?

A: Yes – the steamy shower is the perfect place to shave. All of the hot water and humidity combine to create the ideal conditions for the razor to effortlessly slide over the skin’s surface – leaving behind a closer shave and fewer irritations. Jen Adkins of About recommends hanging a fog-free mirror in the shower or shaving right away after you’re done.

» Q: My husband sweats – a lot. He’s even tried the “clinical” strength over-the-counter deodorants without any luck. What should he do?

A: Next, try an at-night deodorant like Certain Dri, which works overnight to block pores for reduced daytime sweating. If that doesn’t work, talk to your doctor about professional treatments for hyperhidrosis (the clinical name for over-sweating). There are many effective procedures – including those that use Botox injections – that can remedy this embarrassing condition.

» Q: Is it okay for me to use my husband’s shaving cream on my legs?

A: Are your legs smooth, hydrated and without irritation after using your husband’s shaving cream? Then stick with it! The Beauty Brains – a healthy and beauty blog written by scientists – explains that most shaving creams typically share the same basic ingredients, whether they’re formulated for men or women.

» Q: I recently lost 20 pounds. While I’m happy to have shed the weight, there’s still a lot of cellulite. Why didn’t it disappear?

A: Unfortunately, even though losing weight can improve the appearance of cellulite, it’s unlikely to eliminate it completely. Genes play the strongest role in the formation of cellulite, so even if you find treatments to minimize its look, you may never completely get rid of its appearance on your skin.

» Q: I have moderate acne scars left behind from my teenage battle with blemishes. What’s the most effective way to get rid of them?

A: For some people, acne scars diminish over time. But if they remain visible, try an over-the-counter cortisone cream or other product designed to improve the appearance of scarring. If these don’t work, consider meeting with a dermatologist to talk about professional treatment options including laser skin resurfacing.
