Skin Type: Normal
Spa Fix: Maintain the good skin you already have and get a fresh glow. Kate Somerville, L.A. facialist to Jessica Alba, suggests an exfoliation treatment that combines a physical scrub and a chemical peel, followed by intense hydration. If you don't need them, don't let your facialist do extractions, which can lead to blotchiness or marks.
Skin Type: Normal
Best Regimen: Commit to a daily routine. Doing this wards off future problems. "Start simple: a gentle cleanser and sunscreen," says New York dermatologist Amy Wechsler. Try Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser ($7.10) and L'Oréal Paris Active Daily Moisture Lotion SPF 15 ($17.99). At night, use a repairing moisturizer. Try Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream (left, $7.99)
Skin Type: Sensitive
Spa Fix: Facials can be too irritating for sensitive skin. But if you want to deal with dullness, Olga Lorencin-Northrup, founder of L.A.'s Kinara Skin Care Clinic and Spa, suggests you go for a gentle, customized, glow-boosting treatment without exfoliation. Porcelain-skinned star January Jones stops by Kinara before she hits the red carpet.
Skin Type: Sensitive
Best Regimen: New York and Miami dermatologist Fredric Brandt recommends avoiding sodium lauryl sulfates and artificial fragrances. Use a mild cleanser, like Dior Gentle Cleansing Milk (left, $32), then a physical-block sunscreen. Try Burt's Bees Chemical-Free Sunscreen SPF 30 ($15). Moisturize A.M. and P.M. with a soothing lotion like Estée Lauder Vérité Moisture Relief Cream ($50).
Skin Type: Dry/Aging
Spa Fix: Opt for a facial with moisturizing masks or a hyaluronic-acid treatment. Somerville's Dermal Quench infuses the skin with serum to give you a glow that lasts for days. New York facialist Christine Chin, who counts Rachel Weisz as a client, also recommends monthly microdermabrasion. "Your skin will look five years younger," she promises.
Skin Type: Dry/Aging
Best Regimen: In the morning, use a gentle cleanser, like Dr. Brandt Time Arrest Crème Cleanser ($50), and apply an SPF with antioxidants to prevent collagen breakdown. Try Lancôme Bienfait Multi-Vital SPF 30 Lotion ($45). At night, use an antiwrinkle serum. Try Nude Advanced Cellular Renewal Serum (left, $92), which contains collagen-stimulating bioactive peptides.
Skin Type: Oily/Acne-Prone
Spa Fix: Get a monthly facial with extractions. This can make a world of difference for acne sufferers. Getting rid of congestion before it comes to the surface can prevent future breakouts. Exfoliation is key, but consult your skin pro on what is best for you. Chin, who cares for Zoë Saldana's complexion, warns, "Microdermabrasion can actually make acne spread."
Skin Type: Oily/Acne-Prone
Best Regimen: Twice a day, use a mild cleanser. Overwashing and harsh astringents strip the skin and exacerbate "rebound oil." During the day, apply a mattifying SPF. Try SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50 ($30). At night, use a retinoid, which will stop breakouts before they happen. "[Prescription-only] Differin is the least irritating," says Brandt.
Skin Type: Oily/Acne-Prone
Star Product: Skin Effects by Dr. Jeffrey Dover Glycolic Peel Kit ($24.99). Wechsler says that if used at night, glycolic acid will help control oil all day. The kit starts with a glycolic-acid-soaked pad to exfoliate, followed by a soothing pad that calms skin.
We’ve already seen it on LIGHTS and Ellie Goulding, and now Selena Gomez is the latest celebrity to rock the Daydreamer LA Sweet Death Cutoff Sweatshirt from Urban Outfitters ($39.00). Selena wore this tank with a Russian vodka bottle graphic while grabbing a coffee this afternoon.
Selena Gomez is the cover girl for Elle Magazine’s July 2012 issue. One of the outfits that she wears in her fashion spread is this red peplum dress from Lanvin priced at $3,595. If you like the dress but not the price, fortunate you can score the look for much, much less. The ASOS Bandeau Dress with Peplum, pictured at right, is very similar and costs only $52.19!
Selena Gomez made an unexpected pairing when she matched bright fuchsia pumps to an otherwise neutral outfit. She wore a tan colored maxi skirt and a white tee with a long draped knot in the front. Get her look with Forever 21′s Knotted Mineral Wash Tee ($14.80), American Apparel’s Chiffon Double-Layered Full Length Skirt ($58.00) and Miss Me’s NOTCH-1 Pump in Purple ($34.95).
