Skin care: Do creams really work?
Winter is not good to our skin. The wind chaps. The dry air wicks. The combination blows us into the arms of the billion-dollar cosmeceutical industry, which awaits with pricey over-the-counter potions and serums promising to undo the season's damage.

Sunblock Savvy
Dermatologists advise that daily protection with sunblock should begin at six months of age, and most sunblock products state on the label that they are not to be used by infants under six months of age.

Youthful Skin Forever
Cleopatra, aka "Queen of the Nile," was known for regularly soaking her skin in a rose petal and milk bath to keep it soft. The ancient Greeks used honey and the Romans olive oil as natural skin moisturizers.

Sunscreen and bug repellent don't mix
I have to use insect repellent every time I go outside. When I also need sunscreen, which goes on first?

Sunscreen Smarts
1. Slather it on Studies show sunscreen users apply only half the amount they really need. Don't skimp! "Apply an ounce of sunscreen -- enough to fill a shot glass -- 15 to 30 minutes before sun exposure," says Deborah Sarnoff, M.D., vice president of the Skin Cancer Foundation. Why apply ahead of time? "Some ingredients need time to meld with your skin to be effective," explains Dr. Sarnoff. And for those tricky places, like your back and hairline, try handy spray-on sunscreen. Pre-soaked wipes and roll on sticks are good for protecting burn-prone and easily missed places like your nose, ears, hands, knees and feet.
