I'm Dr. Leslie Baumann, chief of the Division of Cosmetic Dermatology and a professor at the University of Miami School of Medicine. I will be discussing the fundamentals of skin care and the latest advances in skin care and cosmetic dermatology procedures. http://health.yahoo.com/experts/ Wed, 14 May 2008 23:09:16 -0800 Yahoo! http://health.yahoo.com/experts/skintype/12152/lipgloss-an-inexpensive-pick-me-up/ Did you know that cosmetic sales offer an indication of where the economy stands? It's true: Statistics show that when the economy isn't doing well, lipstick sales go up. The theory is that it's an inexpensive pick-me-up that offers the thrill of shopping without putting a big dent in the ol' pocketbook. I'm no economist -- but I am a lip gloss junkie! I love the expensive ones, the inexpensive ones, and everything in between. (My skin is particularly dry, so I tend to prefer moisturizing lip products to potentially drying lipstick.) I'd love to hear about your favorite lip products in the comments section below! In the meantime, check out some of the best products I've come across in my ongoing search for the perfect gloss.

Look no further than my favorite products to pamper Mom - and to thank her for all the pampering she does all year long.

So whether you're a blushing bride-to-be or will be hitting the dance floor as a wedding guest, a clear, glowing complexion is always your best accessory.

That is simply not true. Thu, 17 Apr 2008 10:08:08 -0800 Leslie Baumann, M.D. http://health.yahoo.com/experts/skintype/12063/does-sunscreen-burn-your-eyes/ If you're going to be playing an outdoor sport - or are simply sensitive to chemical sunscreens - stick to physical blockers (at least on your face). The sun protection is just as good as that of chemical sunscreens. Mon, 14 Apr 2008 11:49:50 -0800 Leslie Baumann, M.D. http://health.yahoo.com/experts/skintype/12025/spa-treatments-dos-and-donts/ Very few treatments offer benefits that you can't get with at-home products, or that are better than comparably priced procedures available at your dermatologist's office. Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:34:23 -0800 Leslie Baumann, M.D. http://health.yahoo.com/experts/skintype/12011/dont-neglect-your-lips/ Lips are exposed to the sun too - in fact, they're more susceptible to sun damage than other exposed skin.
