Icky inquiry
The skin around my cheeks and right under my nose is flaky and sometimes even looks like boogers! How can I get rid of it?
A scaly complexion is a beauty bummer, but thankfully, it's simple to cure. "Flaky skin is usually a condition called seborrheic dermatitis, which occurs when skin is severely dry and dead cells slough off too rapidly around the nose, eyebrows, ears, and scalp," says Rosemarie Ingleton, a dermatologist in New York City. Use a moisturizer containing glycerin (which attracts water to the skin) twice a day to soothe dry skin in about two days. Try Almay Milk Plus Nourishing Facial Lotion, $10.95. If the area is red and irritated, also use an over-the-counter 1 percent hydrocortisone cream day and night for a few days to get your skin back to its silky and smooth best.
no-duh dilemma
What's the difference between hair gel and styling lotion?
To clear things up for you, we consulted Daniel Garza, stylist and colorist at New York City's Robert Kree Salon. The explanation he gave us: Hair gels are usually alcohol-based and are best used to achieve styles that require medium to strong hold, like short, stiff spikes or tightly coiled hot-roller curls. (It's the evaporation of the alcohol that causes a stiff finish.) We like Aussie Natural Gel, $3.99, and Dep Shine Gel Natural Hold, $2.59. Styling lotions are creamy solutions that usually contain nourishing oils and plant extracts. Since they're alcohol-free, they dry into a light, soft hold and are used to produce more natural-looking tress effects. Try Robert Kree Insulation, $24, or L'Oreal Studio Line FX Toss Lotion, $3.49.
