Skin Care
Lethal Beauty Product CombosOK, maybe they won't kill you, but mixing some skin care products can annihilate your complexion |
Really, who doesn't have "combination" skin? I'm not talking about T-zones or the amount of oil one's skin produces. I'm talking about the battalion of products the average woman needs to combat her myriad of skin problems. When you've got wrinkles, breakouts, age spots and chapped lips at the same time, it's hard not to pile on a slew of products aimed at fighting different skin issues. But according to New York City dermatologist Jeannette Graf, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, the concoction of products we layer on our face may not be the best recipe for great skin — in fact, it could be a recipe for disaster (kind of like the time you blew up the living room with your chemistry set).
We sat down with Dr. Graf to get the insider info on what skin care ingredients we should never mix.
