Can You Multitask With Spot-Fading Products?

  As some of us have unfortunately discovered, pimples aren't reserved for teenagers and sun-induced brown spots don't only happen to AARP members.
  
  These skin issues can be the bane of your existence at practically any life stage, but before you abandon all hope, know there is a bit of good news. It turns out you can use one product for both problems, and end up saving yourself some cash.
  
  Despite being specifically marketed for treating either acne or UV-induced skin injury, topical skin brighteners can work to fade all kinds of hyperpigmentation, so there's no need to shell out for multiple potions.
  
  New York City dermatologist Arielle Kauvar says there actually are some slight differences between sun spots and acne scars. "With sun spots, there is an increase in the number of melanocytes, or pigment cells, in the epidermis," she says. "Acne blemishes are caused by inflammation that can increase in melanin, or pigment, that shows up as a brownish spot that might linger for months." Kauvar stresses that pock-mark acne scars, resulting from damage to collagen, need to be treated with lasers, not topicals.

  Luckily, though, there are ways to attack those unwelcome zit- or sun-induced marks. According to Kauvar, products that gently exfoliate and fade darkness can help even out your complexion. We like the new Kiehl's Photo-Age Corrector High-Potency Spot Treatment; it's made with ascorbyl glucoside (a form of vitamin C) and sakura fruit extract to prevent existing pigment from getting from the deeper layers of the skin to the surface, and also helps to decrease the production of new melanin. Antioxidants help fend off inflammation-causing free radicals, and smooth microbeads slough off dead skin cells to make skin look more radiant. Oh, and the treatment also has light-reflective minerals to add some immediate-gratification glow.
  
  Make sure you keep those expectations in the realm of reality, however. "Skin lightening creams will fade the lesions, but not completely remove them, because they will not reduce the increase in the number of pigment cells," says Kauvar. But, like every dermatologist repeats a million times a day, it's all about sun protection. "If sunscreen that defends against UVA and UVB rays is not worn daily, the skin fading creams will not help very much, because the sun's rays stimulate the pigment cells to make more melanin," she says.
  
  There's really nothing good to say about acne or sun damage, but at least you can use one product to deal with both, without going broke or becoming a candidate for Extreme Hoarding: Beauty Edition.

  It seems like everyone has beauty tips that they swear by. I wanted to ask women of all different ages what the best beauty advice that they ever received was. 24 of our readers contributed their best beauty tips for women and I am happy to be able to share them with you.
  
  From advice from grandmothers to tips from model's instructors, these beauty tips for women could not be more helpful. Whether you are 22 or 82, these tips are guaranteed to help make you even more beautiful both inside and out.
  
  Is your favorite piece of beauty advice missing from our list? Leave a comment below or tell us on Facebook. Thou shalt not keep fabulous beauty tips a secret!
  
  
  Say yes to sunscreen
  "I'm thankful that my mother always got on my case about using sunscreen when I was growing up. Otherwise I don't think my face would look as good as it does for my age. Instead of a leathery, wrinkled face, I have the youthful look of a young twenty-something, even though I'm 34."
  China, 34
  
  Protect your skin from the sun.
  
  
  
  
  Say no to perms
  "At age 52 I had been caught up in an never ending routine of coloring and perming my hair. My hair was dried and coarse looking. On the advice from my hairdresser I gave up the perms and my hair has never looked better. The change made my hair bouncy, shiny and younger looking."
  Susan, 52
  
  Say yes to focusing on one feature
  "The best beauty advice that I ever received was to focus on one specific feature. Wearing makeup on every part of your face can look overdone, but this method lets your beauty shine flawlessly. The trick is to do just a dramatic lip or dramatic eyes but not both."
  Amy
  
  Say yes to eye cream
  "Many older mother-figures in my life have told me how much they regret not using eye cream earlier to prevent aging around the eyes. Because they stressed the earlier the better, I snapped up an affordable eye cream and have been continuously using one. Now, at 31, the skin around my eyes still looks supple."
  Kate, 31
  
  An eye opening must-have.
  
  
  Say no to deodorant stains
  "I used to hate having deodorant stains all over my clothes until my grandmother showed me how panty hose can wipe off the stains with ease-even on black! Just rub the panty hose or knee highs over the stain and watch it disappear! Now you can put your outdated and rather unfashionable panty hose into good use!"
  Capri, 24
  
  Say yes to up-dos
  "After a few years of mistreating my hair, the damage was bad. My stylist told me if I roll my hair into a ballerina bun after showering, the hair would dry in soft waves. It worked! Not only do I save time blow-drying and curling my hair, I also get sexy, natural curls with little effort."
  Hope, 21
  
  
  Say yes to washing your face before going to bed
  As a model, I had to take professional modeling classes before starting my career. I received some of the best advice from one of the instructors, she told me to be sure to wash my face every evening before I go to bed, no excuses. Each time I forgot to wash my makeup off, I was actually adding a year to the look of my skin."
  Roey, 38
  
  Wash your face with a good cleanser.
  
  
  
  Say yes to loving yourself
  "The best beauty advice I received came years ago from my mother. She said, "If you want others to love you, first love yourself and treat yourself with kindness and respect." For any of us to look our best and be our most beautiful, we must start from within. Eat the freshest foods, drink the purest water, get enough rest and go outside and enjoy the natural world."
  Darlene, 52
  
  Say yes to retinol
  "The best beauty advice I ever received, besides the usual "wear sunscreen every day," is to use a retinol or retinoid product at least once a day. Retinols (available over the counter) and retinoids (by prescription only) are two of the few products that have been proven to reverse signs of aging. In addition to fighting wrinkles and reversing sun damage, retinols and retinoids also fade skin discolorations, stimulate collagen production and fight acne."
  Sandra, 45
  
  Say no to overdoing it
  "I got this tip from a beauty consultant as a teen and now many years later the advice still holds true; When in doubt use less, subtle is always better."
  Cathleen
  
  Say yes to baby oil
  "The best beauty advice that I ever received was to rub baby oil on my skin before getting out of the shower. I like to use the any brand that contain Vitamin E. Then after drying off, I lather lotion on. This makes my skin feel as soft and smooth as a baby's!"
  Jessica, 26
  
  
  If you want soft skin, try baby oil.
  
  
  Say no to frowning
  "The best beauty advice I ever received was that a smile lights up your face, you should never act your age and don't worry about wrinkles because it showed how joyful your life is. Following that advice, at age 56 my mom looks 40 and I am often mistaken for 22 at 30 years old!"
  K.C., 30
  
  
  Say yes to baby wipes
  "The best beauty advice I ever received was, of course, from my wonderful mother. Her advice is to remove...
