Skin SafetyA. Yamina CollinsOU thought you were doin g eve n r ~
h by ~ skin: nevergOing outside WIthout using a
unblock with SPF 45, always wearing aat at the beach and eating
plen ty of fruitsnd vegetables. It turns out tha t might note
enough."I've known people sitting in an office, 20 years who have
skin cancer on their
ace because of the UVA [ultraviolet type] rays coming in through
their officewinow," explains Dr. David A. Colbert , aeading
dermatologist with the New Yorkermatology Group, who has
consultedsuch films as TheDa Vinci Code an d thescar-winn ingA
Beautifu l Mind"T hey'll have it on ju st one side of the
ace too, because of how they were facingt." .It 's important to
have UVAfilte r son thendows, especially in a city like Ne w
York,
he re officework is so common. But , it stillthat you must have
pr ope r "filters"
n your skin as well. Yet, where does onein the search for proper
skin care?
"I start from the inside ou t," says TerriWalsh , creator of
Active-Beau ty, a naturaland organic skin care line. "T he better
youea t, the better you r skin will be.". Th is means drinking
plenty of wate r soyour skin doesn't dehydrate, staying awayfrom
sugar that dries you out, letting go ofthose nasty (and expensive)
smoking habits, and consuming large portions of fiberto help keep
you regular.
As for the products you place on top ofthe skin, starting with a
grea t nighttimeregimen is key.
D r. Colbeit admits that, "People tend toforget abo ut B5 gel,"
which contains hyaluronic acid, the bo dy's na tu ral hydrator,and
help s bind moisture to the skin. "It'sthe strongest moisturi zer
in the world ."
In the morning, however, it's importantto go light. Star t your
day with a tone r andcleanser, like Walsh's Pumpkin Face
Scrub,first.
T hen , when adding a moisturizer, "don'tuse anything too
heavy," says ma ke-up ar tist Robin Narvaez of Salon Eliut
Riverawho has w k with such c l b i t i e s \ l
Robert De Niro , and Hillary and ChelseaClinton."Don't use the
same kind you 'd use inth e winter," she explains. "Clogged poresin
this weather can be produ ce blackheadswithin days."
Walsh loves shea bu tter as a moisturizerwhile Narvaez recommen
ds Oil of Ol ayComplete because it contains no filters orfra
grances, and has an SP F of 15. "Whatever moisturiz er you use,"
warns Narvaez,"make sure it has an SPF of at least 15."
As for using a sunblock withou t a moisturizer, try someth ing
with an SPF of atleast 30. And if you play sports, or
you'respending time on the beach, make sure towear a
non-water-soluble sunblock, whichwill stay on even after you' ve
been in thewater.
And make sure to re-apply sunblock frequently, says Dr. Lisa
Aira n, a top der matologist who has appe ared on Oprah. Everytwo
hours is a good measure.
"But, remem ber that an 8-ounce bottleis only good for eight
applications ," shewar ns.

moviesta rs and it 's very popular with them ."

don'tneed to make yourself up tha t much, unless you' re going ou t

yourskin is."
You can even wear a tint ed moisturi zerwith SPF 15 as a make-up
base instead offound ation , or mix a liquid foundation withyour
moisturi zer so that you, "cut the founda tion," says Narvaez.
Finally, enhance the skin with that littlesomething ext ra.

it forboth hands and face. "It helps you grow collagen and has
anti-inflammatory products init. T his is a grea t booster for the
skin; j ustone of those little pea rls I recommend ."
