Top 5 Skin Care Resolutions for 2009

Posted: JANUARY 26, 2009 by Aliesh D. Pierce

If you want to get that superstar glow, adopt a spa-like approach to skin care in 09.

 

1: A fresh Start

Vow to use a Cleanser that's appropriate for your skin type every morning and night. For normal to oily skin, try a gel cleanser like Bright and Clear from Dr. Susan Taylor's line Rx for Brown Skin. It's formulated with salicylic acid and sulfur to help prevent breakouts and control excessive oil.  Normal to dry skin responds best to cream cleansers. U.K.-based homeopathic pharmacy Weleda offers several cream cleansers suitable for normal to dry/dehydrated or sensitive skin and it's now available at Target and other national drugstores in the U.S.

*Tip: Bar soap has too much alkaline, so it damages the skin's protective layer.

 

 

Dr. Susan Taylor's line Rx for Brown Skin, $22, amazon.com

 

 

 

Weleda Iris Cleansing Lotion, $13.99, drugstore.com

I have been suffering with hyperpigmented skin that gets really dark and thick. It is right above my heel (what we call the heel) I have been unable to wear a dress for four years now. Th esame thing also happens with my toe. This started when a dermatologist gave me some substance to peel my dry skin at home. I am so depress, frustrated, I cry often, feel like i am living in a prinson of pants and shoes that only make my toes and heel worst by giving me numerous corns and even dark heel ....nothing I try works and i cannot afford to go back to another dermatologist...CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.......my skin is also dry to the point of being scaly...i really would love to wear a dress, after all these years of suffering
