Q: My lips are constantly dry and chapped. I have tried applying lip balm before lipstick, but to no avail. Could you recommend a lip treatment and lipstick to help improve this condition? — From Ivy Ong, Subang Jaya.

A: Laura Mercier Lip Silk helps to heal cracked and parched lips. Use it day and night, and as the base for lip colour to help reduce chapping and give your lips a fuller look. This also protects your lips from further free radical damage.

Q: Sometimes I run out of kiddy sunscreen for the children while on the beach. Is it safe to use adult sunscreen on those aged eight and below? — From Wong Mei Lan,

Subang Jaya.

A: Yes, you can apply adult sunscreen on children — but not infants. Ensure the sun protection factor is not more than SPF30.
Q: I have acne scar on my face, and my skin tone is uneven due to recurring scares from frequently breaking out in pimples. How do I achieve a smooth and even skin tone without putting on too much makeup?

— From Mary Lee, Kajang.

A: To achieve a flawless facial skin tone, start by using Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation Primer as a base. It creates a smooth invisible layer that acts as a buffer against the elements, and produces a perfect skin texture for sensitive skin. Laura Mercier’s Silk Cream Foundation evens out skin tone, increases skin’s luminosity and clarity, and is long-lasting.

Secret Camouflage covers any imperfection due to blemishes, scars and other causes of discolouration, and comes in two shades for just-right blending.

Secret Concealer is developed for the under eye area to hide dark circles and minimise puffiness. Set with Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder for a silky and flawless finish.
