Dry Skin- Dry skin is caused by under-active sebaceous (oil-producing) glands that do not produce enough oil to keep the skin naturally lubricated. It usually feels flakey, dry, itchy and is sometimes sensitive and dull looking. Dry skin must be hydrated regularly from the inside (with fresh water) and outside with rich hydrating moisturizers.

Question from Facebook Fan- ok....so I have great skin but need to put the "shine" back in it...what do you recommend????My Answer- There are several reasons for why great skin can lose its shine. You are probably following a great skin care regimen that may however be stripping your skin of essential minerals and amino acids. You also may need to increase blood circulation and oxygen flow to your skin.

There are a few products I live by, that are great for restoring the glow and shine to dull skin: I recommend using a peptide complex cream rich with amino acids; known for its incredible nourishing benefits and natural muscle relaxant qualities. We have a great peptide complex in our line, Organic Olive Essence line that can be found on www.homespacollection.com .

We also have a great Oxygen Serum from our Dermatouch line. Oxygen Serum is supercharged with Retinol and a group of powerful extracts and compounds that help to restore resiliency and radiance; effective for

Question from Facebook Fan- What is the best way to prevent / hide early signs of skin aging besides wearing sun screen? Especially if i DON'T want botox!?

My Answer- Here are a few "botox-free" suggestions, I myself use. It is great to get in the habit now of following a good skin care regimen. This would include using a good facial cleanser and toner daily, followed by a good mineral moisturizer in the AM which helps fight against free radicals and premature aging. In the evening, I recommend using a peptide complex cream rich with amino acids; known for its incredible nourishing benefits and natural muscle relaxant qualities. We have a great peptide complex in our Organic Olive Essence skin care line that can be found online at www.homespacollection.com .

As a treatment you may want to consider using an AHA peel serum (apply to clean skin, and allow to dry) 1-2 times a week to help remove dead skin cells and stimulate healthy skin cell production.

Question from Facebook Fan- So I always I always get acne around my lower jawline....WHHHHYYYYY the side of my face, lower jawline?

My Answer- Acne on the chin and jaw line is often a sign of a hormonal change/imbalance; causing oil buildup, which in-turn clogs pores, skin redness, irritation, and unruly breakouts! I would recommend trying the following steps:

1) A glycolic acid gel (10-15% for home-use) 2-3 times a week to regenerate healthy skin cell production and exfoliate dead skin cells. Apply a small amount of gel, with gentle circular motions and leave on for approximately 5-10 minutes. Rinse gently with luke warm water and pat dry.

2) A sulfur face mask is great as a spot treatment or for all-over-use to further dry up excess oil and dirt. A sulfur mask only needs to be used 2-3 times a week. Apply a small amount to affected areas, t-zones, or all over face, on clean, moist skin. Leave on for approximately 10-15 minutes and rinse thoroughly with luke warm water.

It all started with a little challenge my team set forth for me; I had to answer as many unique questions as possible in one week posted to my newly launched Facebook fan page. I knew this challenge would truly put me to the test, and thus the challenge began! I had so many great questions come in I couldn't contain my excitement; I had to anwer all the questions immedietely! Working tirelessly day and night, I completed the challenge with great success, and now that my challenge is over, I want to share some of these fantastic questions with you! Maybe you have had the same question at one time or another!

Question from Facebook Fan- I live near chicago and winters are very harsh on my skin...what do you recommend for the winter?

My Answer- Winter is undoubtedly the harshest time of year on the skin; high winds, low humidity and low temperatures are all winter culprits! The key is to create a barrier between your skin and these harsh weather conditions. You can do this by using a
