Per our survey, a
whopping 70 percent
of you want legit intel
on how and when to
wash up. We get it—
shampooing and styl-
ing hair takes time.
A lot of it. Plus, if you
spring for a blowout,
you want to make it
last. But try not to go
more than two days
between washes (if
you have textured or
coarse tresses, you
can go longer), says
Annie Rush, a styl-
ist at Marie Robin-
son Salon. Oil and
product buildup can
clog the pores in your
scalp and, over time,
potentially promote
hair loss (eek!). ■Don’t wait to speak up. If you’re unhappy at any
point during a treatment—when a massage is too
hard, a hair colorist too experimental, a facial-
ist too gossipy—let it be known. You can be firm
while still being polite. Try saying something
like, “I’ve had a hard day. Mind if I just close my
eyes and relax?” advises spa owner Mzia Shiman.
Then enjoy the bliss and quiet.Adult acne is real—it
affects 45 percent of
women ages 21 to 30.
But don’t wig out—in
fact, that might be the
problem. Stress puts
your skin’s oil glands
on overdrive and...
voilà, inf lammatory
acne. Key prevention
includes relaxation,
but in the meantime,
cold compresses and
OTC cortisone cream
can help with swell-
ing and redness,
says New York City
dermatologist Neal
Schultz, MD. Need a
more aggressive fix?
Ask your derm about
a cortisone shot that’ll
shrink those angry
red suckers fast.This day
of beauty was
supposed to
be relaxing,
but the
aesthetician is
chatting my ear
off. Help!Sooo...
I washed my
hair only once
this week.
Is that gross?I THINK
MY BESTIE GOT
BOTOX
COSMETIC.
I WONDER
IF I SHOULD
TOO
It’s a totally personal
decision. More
and more women are
going for it—and
that’s generally
okay, says Michelle
Henry, MD, a clinical
instructor of
dermatology at Weill
Cornell Medical
College. If your
crow’s-feet or frown
lines between your
brows are moderate
to severe, you could
be a candidate, says
Dr. Henry. Choose
a board-certified
derm with plenty
of experience who
can discuss potential
side effects as well as
help ensure you look
natural—aka your
face won’t stay
still when you LOL.Grown women
aren’t supposed
