By the end of the day, your bed starts to look like a mini paradise waiting for you at the end of the hall. But before you can cozy in, there are still a few things you need to do. Lock the doors, switch off the lights and—oh yeah—get that stiffened mascara, smudged eyeliner and smeared foundation off your face.
Q: I’m considering a spa facial. Is there anything I should do to prepare? What can I expect to happen there?
MyChelle Dermaceuticals licensed esthetician Catie Wiggy responds:
A day at the spa—ahhh! Not only do you deserve a little pampering and relaxation, but your skin needs special treatment every once in awhile, too. Facials are very beneficial for the look and health of your skin. I recommended getting one a minimum of four times per year.
Q: I’ve amassed a pretty decent-sized collection of skincare products. Is it OK to “layer on” more than one treatment at a time? What’s the right order?
MyChelle Dermaceuticals licensed esthetician Catie Wiggy responds:
Skincare success depends not only on using the right products for your skin type, but also on how you apply them. Knowing the correct order—and frequency—for daily application can make a big difference in your overall results. I recommend using high-quality MyChelle products and following these simple steps.
Q: How often should I use facial treatments?
MyChelle Dermaceuticals licensed esthetician Catie Wiggy responds:
One of the best ways to take care of your complexion is to regularly use facial treatments, such as masks and exfoliants. But you don’t want to use them too often, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Q: The products I’ve always used for blemishes no longer seem to be working. Why is this happening and what can I do about it?
MyChelle Dermaceuticals licensed esthetician Catie Wiggy responds:
Blemishes are disappointing at any age, but when you’re well past your teenage years and breakouts are still happening, it’s especially frustrating.
It’s that wonderful time of year when everyone’s buzzing about hot cider, apple picking and… pumpkins! But they’re not just for carving and cooking. Pumpkins offer an excellent source of vitamin A, oils, enzymes and antioxidants that can support cell turnover and provide balance to dull, aging or dry skin.
In honor of autumn, here are my top picks for pumpkin beauty products:
