We promised that we would share more beauty
secrets from dermatologist Dr. Dana Stern (remember the fantastic information
she gave us in You Gellin’? ), and now we have her take on a few everyday
beauty concerns!
Your skin is beautiful, what is your daily
regimen?

Thank you! I am a low-maintenance
dermatologist. Most of my patients are
busy, hard-working New Yorkers with small bathrooms. You really don’t need a million expensive
“miracle” products. I use a gentle
cleanser—[pump-style containers have] always been my favorite and what I
recommend to my patients. The most
important thing that you can do is use a good sunscreen or moisturizer with
broad spectrum protection, SPF 30, and use it 365 days a year. I don't care if it’s snowing in February! I love Anthelios Tinted [Sunscreen], because
it serves as a moisturizer/sunscreen and gives me a little color so that I
don't have to wear much makeup. Last
tip, I’m a huge fan of glycolic peels! You can see your dermatologist for a
professional strength peel a few times per year. Avon Anew makes an amazing at-home
version. I like to use it before
applying my makeup, gives an amazing (I slept 12 hours last night) glow!
At what age should women start using an under-eye cream and retinoids?

There is no hard and fast rule with this
one. Under eye aging is secondary to sun
exposure and genetics and both of these factors will determine when you need to
get started with preventative measures.
Where do you stand in the great Essie vs. OPI
debate?
Love them
both. Both companies make quality nail
products and have 3-free polishes.
We have to ask, do you prefer square or rounded
nails?
Love the
squoval—nail file square and then round the edge slightly.
