1. Treat Onomie’s illuminating eye
   cream uses light-reflecting pigments
   to minimize darkness on contact,
   while vitamins A, C, and E work to
   brighten and strengthen skin (so
   blood vessels are less visible).


2. Cover Start with a color corrector
   (go with peach if you have fair-to-
   medium skin, orange or red if you’re
   dark) to neutralize bluish tones. Top
   it off with a full-coverage concealer
   (Almay’s, above, contains hyaluronic
   acid, so it’s less likely to settle into
   fine lines).

THE

NUMBER

ONE FIX

FOR...

SWEATING

Thirty-six

percent said

they’re overly

sweaty, which

could be

hyperhidrosis

(medicalspeak

for excessive

sweating).

about

MiraDry—

a handheld

device

that uses

microwave

energy

to reduce

sweating by

an average

of 82 percent.

A DOUBLE

CHIN

If you’re like

the 50 percent

of women

surveyed who

are self-

conscious

about this,

consider

Kybella. It’s

the first and

only FDA-

approved

injectable

designed to

treat fat

underneath

the chin.

ROSACEA

One in 5

women cited

it as a

problem in

our survey.

Ask your derm

about topical

Rhofade,

a new Rx-only

vasocon-

strictor that

addresses

persistent

redness.

Cellulite

While at-home treatments won’t

completely erase cellulite, caffeine

(found in Clarins’ serum) and hyal-

uronic acid (in Nannette de Gaspé’s

patches) can temporarily tighten and

plump, respectively, to minimize

dimples. Perhaps the closest thing to

a cure: Cellulaze by Cynosure, which

uses a tiny laser fiber to level out

pockets of fat and release bands of

tissue that pull down on the skin,

both of which cause dimpling.

Stretch Marks

Fresh ones can fade with a vitamin-A

treatment (like Bio-Oil), which can

stimulate new collagen to improve

texture. For older, more stubborn

stretch marks, see your derm for a

Fraxel laser treatment (it jump-starts

collagen production as well). Need a

two-second fix? Wonderskin’s body

makeup acts like a magic eraser.

Fifty-seven percent of

women surveyed said cellu-

lite and stretch marks are

holding them back. Read on

to #FreeTheLeg.

Waking up to shadows no

matter how much sleep you

get? More than 40 percent

of women said yes. Circles

can be caused by genetics,

allergies, and inflamma-

tion—meaning a full eight

may not erase them. These

two steps, however, will.
