Banish Summer Beauty Bummers
Star Magazine's Cheryl Kramer Kaye has everything you need to battle acne, stubble and thinning hair
June is Acne Awareness Month, so how do you keep those breakouts at bay? "The key is to fight the blemish battle on multiple fronts," says Cheryl. To do that, use a combination of ingredients like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, both in Mary Kay's Clearproof Acne System. It has a clarifying cleansing gel, a blemish control toner, an acne treatment gel and an oil-free moisturizer designed specifically for acne-prone skin. When used all together, they'll not only prevent breakouts, but cure existing breakouts. Get the whole kit for $45, or the individual products for $10-$17. Find more info at clearproof.com.
Hair removal is not something you typically look forward to, but with Whish products, Cheryl says shaving actually becomes a luxurious experience. The Whish Body Shave Crave is more like a whipped cream than your typical drying shave gel. It's very rich and moisturizing, and it will leave your skin soft and smooth. Next up is the Shave Savor Hair Inhibiting Gel that glides onto your skin. It's not sticky, dries quickly, and when used everyday it will reduce hair regrowth by 30%. Lastly, you will want to try the Whish Flawless Ingrown Hair Serum, which also slows regrowth and is clinically proven to reverse and prevent ingrown hairs. Find the products at Nordstrom stores and at Nordstrom.com.
From the hair we don't want, to the hair we want more of... Cheryl recommends the most awarded brand for thinning hair in the United States, Nioxin. "It really does restore full, thick-looking hair," she says. There are six different systems for your scalp, and each addresses a different cause of thinning hair, such as breakage or scalp issues. Each kit contains a cleanser, a conditioner and a scalp treatment with customized ingredients. And it's not just for the ladies -- men can also get the look of thicker, fuller hair. Pick up a kit or find a salon retailer at nioxin.com.
