one-word answer

Whens the
most effective
time to apply
antiperspirant?

Really: Wet postshower

skin can dilute the
product so it cant block
sweat glands properly.
If yours fails regularly,
apply a clinical-strength
stick right before bed,
when you move and
perspire least, to form
a protein plug in your
sweat glands thatll ward
off next-day odor.

3 Ways to Perfect Your

Eyeliner Game
Eye pencil mistakes range from aging your look to bringing on infection. Los Angelesbased makeup artist
Michelle Radow explains how to draw the lineproperly.

Mind the waterline. Marking up the inner lid is

linked to infection. If you must do it, swipe the pencil with Beauty So Clean Sanitizer Wipes ($20) first.

choose a soft hue. Black exaggerates sagging and lines. Swap for age-flattering charcoal,
like Clinique Quickliner for Eyes ($16.50) in slate.

use primer. Creased lids can make liner bleed

and pool. Make it stayall daywith a primer
like Jouer Long-Wear Eye Brightening Primer ($24).

Psoriasis Rx, Naturally

he famously powerful anti-inflammatory

properties of curcumin, a natural compound
in turmeric, are at it again: A new study found that
in combo with traditional topical steroid creams it
can nearly halve the severity of red, scaly psoriatic
patches. Try taking 1,200 mg of the supplement
daily and working your way up to 3,000 mg, unless
you have kidney issues or diabetes (its a diuretic).

Steel your stomach: Mite

excretions may be causing
your rosacea. If you have
bumps and pimples (papulopustular rosacea) along
with plain old redness, its
a sign your skin may be
bugged by Bacillus oleronius, bacteria excreted by
microscopic mites we all
have on our skin. Fortunately, recently approved
Rx cream Soolantra, the
the only FDA-approved
anti-mite medication for
rosacea, can lower mite
countsand bacteriainduced inflammation. In a
clinical trial, most testers
saw up to a 75% reduction
in bumps and blemishes
after 12 weeks of use. If your
dermatologist agrees its
a fit, a 1-month supply will
cost you about $275, though
most insurance plans will
pick up a portion of the tab.
