If a rough complexion is holding you back from rocking a sheer
sun-goddess glow, don't trip—here are the goods
BREAKOUTS
When pimples become an on-
going problem, put your skin on
a program. You'll need a system
that includes a cleanser, mois-
turizer and treatment that fights
breakouts 2 4 - 7 . Some of our
favorite zit-zapping kits include
the Proactiv Solution 3-Piece
System and B. Kamins Acne
Starter Kit. If you only breakout
every now and fhen, try treat-
ing the area during the day with
Benefit Boo Boo Zap, a clear
liquid, and Sonya Dakar Drying
Potion, the overnight solution
for breakouts.
UNEVEN TONE
if dark marks are an issue, don't
even think about going outdoors
without an SPF of 15 or higher
Without protection, the sun will
darken your marks. Try Estee
Lauder DayWear Plus Multi-Pro-
tection Anti-Oxidant Creme SPF
15. Ask your doctor abouf a pre-
scription-strength skin lightener
to use on dark spots, or try a cos-
meceutical line that delivers. We
like DDF Hyperpigmenfation
Protocol Kit. In the meantime, if
you just need spot ccwerage, tum
to MAC Select Cover-Up (1}
Concealer or Bobbi Brown
Foundation Stick (2).
ESSENCE
Before you get your glow on, smooth
and prepare your skin
exfoliate
Your bronzed body will look iite a million bucks if .i
the surface is supersmooth. Now's the time to
start exfoliating, twice weekly. For spalike results,
apply your body scatb directly onto dry skin
brfore turning on the water. Always massage in a
circular motion, and pay special attenticxi to
r o u ^ areas. To try; de-luxe Aloe Vera & Glycerin
Foaming Body Scaib in Rosemary Mint.
defuzz
If you choose to remove unwanted hair at home,
keep it simple by using some of the easiest and
most effective hair-remcval treats on the mar1<et.
Shave mavens vwll iove the high-performance
quality of Gillette Vibrance. If a depilatory is your
thing, go for Salty Hansen Extra Strength Hair
Remover Lotion. For those who suffe'from razor
bumps, make Tend Skin part of yoorhair-
removal routine. This miracle ws1«r keeps
bumps at bay, leaving your skin very smooth.
hydrate
Starfthe moisturizing process while you bathe
wifh a hydraf ing body cleanser such as Caress
Glowing Touch Body Wash. Continue the
nurturing with a moisturizing body lotion that
hangs in fhere for the long haul. One we like:
Curel Ultra Heaiing 24-Hour Moisturizing
Lotion for Extra Dry Skin.
_ Jp
mg a bit of sparkle to
your skin. Try Spritz Lancome Star Bn^nzer
Magic Golden Spray wherever you want to
top off your body lotion with Urban
Body Powder.
TEXTURE
If your facial skin isn't smooth,
regular exfoliation will puf you
on the righf path. But tread
lightly—use a mild exfoliant
that won't scratch or scar your
skin. We like Origins Modern
Friction, a gentle dermabrasion
(3) or June Jacobs Sensitive
Formula Mandarin Polishing
Beads. If enlarged pores are an
issue, turn to Clinique Pore Min-
imizer Instant Perfector{4), and
to really smooth skin before
makeup application, look no
further than Laura Mercier
Foundation Primer (5). D
