Do I really need to

wash my face morning

and night?—KRISTIN P.

Q

APRIL FRANZINO

BEAUTY

DIRECTOR

april says: Generally, yes. Nighttime cleansing removes makeup and debris accumulated

on skin during the day so it doesn’t clog your pores while you sleep. It also ensures that you’re

applying skincare products on clean skin — key for them to work, explains Tess Mauricio, M.D.,

a dermatologist and Proactiv partner in Beverly Hills and San Diego. The same goes for the

morning, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin, as “you can accumulate oil produced

at night and rinse the face with water in the morning instead” to avoid further dehydration.

DERMAPLANING

for SMOOTHER

SKIN

In this trendy professional

treatment, an aesthetician

uses a special surgical scalpel

to “shave” off skin’s outer layer

of dead cells to smooth its

texture (and remove any facial

fuzz in the process). Now

new dermaplaning tools are

launching for DIY use too.

LAB LOWDOWN “The

treatment leaves skin

glowing and smoother and

is painless with no down-

time,” says Allie Summers,

medical aesthetician at

Tribeca MedSpa in New

York City, and it’s safe for

sensitive skin. (The cost

is about $100 to $250 per

session; follow up with

moisturizer and broad-

spectrum SPF 30+ to

protect the exfoliated skin.)
