She believes that you need just three basic essentials for gorgeous, healthy skin and offers refreshingly accessible solutions to issues like acne breakouts, dry skin, wrinkles, and more.

• What’s the difference between sunblock and sunscreen, and which ingredients are the best?

• What is the best facial cleanser and moisturizer for my skin?

• What, besides plastic surgery, can help my sagging neck?
• How do I know if this freckle is skin cancer?

• Which antiaging products truly work?
