THE SKIN SAVER
Mamie McDonald, the one behind some of Black Hollywood’s most gorgeous skin, tells us how to glow.

SCHEDULE FACE TIME: “Facials are not a luxury in an age of environmental pollutants. A facial every four to six weeks helps to maintain clean, healthy skin,”

EMPLOY ANTIAGERS: Although we wrinkle less, we can still keep antiagers on the shelf. McDonald uses them to address dark spots: “Antiaging products help erase pigmentation by speeding the turnover of skin cells,”

BANISH BLEMISHES: Apply hydrogen peroxide to the zit with a cotton swab to kill the active bacteria and help prevent darkening. Then dab a bit of a mask on the pimple and let sit 3 to 10 minutes to draw the infection to the surface.
