Q Even after I shave, my underarm skin looks dark and gray. Is it possible to lighten it up?
A Shaving irritation can cause skin to overproduce pigment, says Fran Cook-Bolden, a dermatologist in NYC. Try changing your blades more often or pick up a hair-removal lotion.
Q I can never get the back of my hair to look right when I blow-dry it. Any special tricks?
A "Clip up the top of your strands before blow-drying," says Kattia Solano, owner of Butterfly Salon in NYC. Working from the bottom up, unfasten 2-inch-wide layers of hair at a time and dry each portion completely.
Q Is there a perfect technique for removing eye makeup? Mine rarely fully comes off.
A Hold a cotton ball soaked in eye-makeup remover on your lid for a few seconds, then wipe, says Olga Lorencin-Northrup, an aesthetician and owner of Kinara Spa in West Hollywood. Finish by washing your face with cleanser.
Tip: To nix waterproof mascara, use an oil-based remover.
