I have a pimple... now what?
By Dulcy Published: January 18, 2012

The other day I touched on the causes of adult acne, and ‘fessed up to getting an occasional blemish or two. Well apparently, this week is one of those occasions. I have two pimples to the left of my lips and another in the middle of my chin. Ugh.

Let’s talk treatment.

Dr. Schultz explains acne treatment in three short steps on DermTV.

In short, to combat acne, you should use three types of products twice a day: a cleanser, a toner and a product with an active ingredient.

1. Start with a cleanser in the morning. Using one that caters specifically to your skin type, put a small amount in your palm and massage it into your face for 5-10 seconds before rinsing and patting your skin dry.

Let's Talk Adult Acne
By Dulcy Published: January 11, 2012

When asking a friend the other day about some of her skincare concerns, she immediately said adult acne.

Adult acne can stretch into your 20’s and even through your 40‘s, and a lot of women are dealing with it these days. I myself get a blemish or two every now and then, so I got to wondering, what are the causes? Dr. Schultz has identified three major causes of adult acne:

Back to Good Skincare
By Dulcy Published: January 04, 2012

Tuesday was a reality check. It was back to New York and back to work, after spending a little more than a week off, some great time with family and - of course - eating some delicious food.

As much as I didn't want to get out of bed yesterday morning, the one thing I wasn't bothered to get back to was my skincare routine.

Facials at Home
By Dulcy Published: December 21, 2011

I know, I know. On Monday I said that a facial was one of the things I couldn’t get at home, from my bathroom cabinet. It’s true, I can’t set up a spa in my apartment, but with a cabinet full of essential skincare products, I might just be able to create a do-it-myself facial.

Why not give the following steps a try next time you have 20 minutes to spare?

Step 1: Cleanse

Use a cleanser to set the foundation for your facial. One that’s suited for your skin type (oily, combination or normal) will help wash away the debris and dead cells that’ve accumulated on the surface of your skin.

Step 2: Skin Analysis

Are Facials Really Worth It?
By Dulcy Published: December 19, 2011

With all of this talk about best skincare practices and how to take care of your fabulous face at home, I can’t help but think of the one thing I can’t get from the bathroom cabinet: a facial.

Aside from massage, facials are perhaps the second most popular spa treatment on the menu. There are standard facials, with or without extractions, those that use organic products or luxurious ingredients, like 24 carat gold and precious metals, and there are treatments that now involve the use chemical products and peels. So, the inevitable question is, do they work? And are they safe?

The Cleanser and Exfoliant Combo
By Dulcy Published: December 09, 2011

We’ve talked before about combination skincare products - and it seems to me that those that give you two for the price of one are pretty desirable. It's like two peas in a pod.

Who wouldn’t want to save time these days? So, would a cleanser with an exfoliant be a super duo, just like a moisturizer with an SPF?
