Q What's the best way to cover up a nasty cold sore?

A First, rub a protective coat of petroleum jelly on top of it," says NYC dermatologist Paul Jarrod Frank. Or try a healing cold sore cream, such as Abreva Cold Sore Treatment, $14.99, or Aveeno Advanced Relief Cold Sore Treatment, $10.99. Then dab on a swipe or two of concealer afterward. That way, the makeup will adhere to the slippery topcoat, not the scabby skin underneath.

Q Why do I always sneeze when I tweeze my eyebrows?

A The skin around your eyes and nose is loaded with superficial nerve endings, explains Sania Vucetaj, owner of Sania's Brow Bar in NYC. Plucking tickles the nerves and causes you to ahchoo. Need a terrific pair of tweezers? Try Sally Hansen La Cross Two-In-One Tweezers, $5.95.
