BODY & HEALTH
Summer Skin
Unfortunately, blemishes and blotchiness have forced some women (and men) to cover up completely. So how do you get back on the right track to flawless-looking skin?
Return to fun in the sun with products and procedures to help prevent and treat skin’s little imperfections. Items such as exfoliators and deep cleansers, when used consistently, can boost the skin’s renewal system. Here are some of the best...
CONCEAL & CURE
Great for perfecting summer skin, the waterproof Dermablend covers tattoos, birthmarks and even plastic surgery scars while its non-clogging formula assists in treating acne. Dermablend Quick-Fix Concealer, $17, Ulta, Mayfaire Town Center, Wilmington, 509-2122, www.ulta.com.
HERBAL HEALING
Restore your skin’s natural luster after removing self-tanners, suntan lotions, cosmetics and microderm-abrasion treatments. Organic Jurlique firms, tones and hydrates overworked skin. Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel, $124, Ki Spa & Salon, The Forum, Wilmington, 509-0410, www.kispasalon.com.
