Simple Solutions for Problem Skin

Summer's all about exposure, from showing off your body to wearing less makeup, but what do you do if you have skin concerns like acne, rosacea or discoloration? No worries: There are simple skin solutions that will keep your complexion in show-off shape.

For Acne ...

If acne is your enemy choose skin care that will battle the breakouts so look for ingredients like glycolic acid. The GlyDerm Solution Series ($17) will eliminate breakouts so you can show off skin all summer long.


When choosing foundations make sure they are oil-free and will heal you while concealing you. Try Neutrogena Skin Clearing Oil Free Makeup Flawless Finish Blemish Treatment ($11.89). This way you can camouflage the spots while the foundation is working double duty to clear you up. If oily skin and too much shine is your worry go for foundations that control oil output without drying up the skin like Bourjois Matt Lovely Mattifying Liquid Foundation ($21).





For Rosacea ...

If you're plagued by ruddy rosacea, use a non-latex sponge to stipple on foundation to the red areas. Stippling is when you push the product into the skin -- this technique allows for better coverage without resorting to thick, heavy concealer, which can be uncomfortable in the heat of summer. My all time favorite foundation to eliminate the look of rosacea is Era Spray Foundation by Classified Cosmetics ($55). Apply a yellow tinted translucent face powder to set the foundation and help eliminate the look of rosacea. Try Benefit Bluff Dust ($22): This feather light powder can also be used alone to neutralize redness and even out a ruddy complexion.


For Skin Discoloration on the Face ...

For skin discoloration on the face apply nightly skin lightening creams like Esoterica Skin Discoloration Fade Cream ($8.99). Then for daytime make sure you are well protected with SPF and use a tinted moisturizer with a built-in brightener to even out the skin. Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15 ($28) is the perfect product to protect and lessen the appearance of uneven skin and its sheer formula is perfect in the heat.


For Veiny Legs ...

Shorts and skirts will have our legs on display this time of year and some of us may have unsightly veins.
The best way to show off your gams with confidence is to try Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs ($9.99). This lightweight spray covers flaws and is like stockings in a can. It will even out your legs so you can feel confident in you best summer dress or fun short shorts.
