When your lips get chapped you should not use the same
product to heal chapped lips as you use to prevent chapped lips. Audrey
Kunin M.D.:
Most people turn to a wax based type of stick. And
wax will help prevent lips from drying out but they're not so great at helping
heal them. Dermatologist
Dr. Audrey Kunin, author of the book, The
Dermadoctor Skinstruction Manual… So
you want to look for a more sticky Vaseline-like base to apply to the lips to
help heal them. Dandruff
is easily controlled with dandruff shampoo but Dr. Kunin has a way to make that
shampoo even more effective. There
are a handful of different ingredients in dandruff shampoos and if you have two
or three different bottles, in a very relaxed manner pick one, one day, pick another
one a different day you're going to get better control of your dandruff. When
you're out in the sun the general recommendation is to reapply your sunscreen
every two hours. And what's the magic SPF number? I
think it's 30. There has been quite a bit of scientific research to show that
there is a significant difference in protective value between SPF 15 and an SPF
30. Anything over 30 is so negligible in its ability to further protect the skin. You
