Q When I get my lip waxed, I break out. Is there a gentler way to get rid of the fuzz?

A The fragrance or preservatives in some waxes may be too harsh for your skin, says New York derm Marina Peredo. "Switch to a sugar-based wax, which is typically all-natural, or one that has soothing vitamin E or almond oil in the formula," she says. We like Meet Wax Strips for Sensitive Skin, $7.99.

Q My skin is clear but dull. How can I brighten up?

A "You probably have a top layer of dry, dead skin," says NYC derm Bradford Katchen. Exfoliate at least once a week, he says. Try a "green" exfoliator that's less harsh than chemical scrubs and packed with natural nourishing ingredients, like olive oil, to help you stay dewy and fresh.

Our green pick: St. Ives Elements Olive Scrub, $6.99
