Before you stock your medicine cabinet, read these tips from cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank on how to give your skin what it really needs.

No-Touchup Highlights Harsh, two-toned ombré doesn't look as fresh as it once did, but a softer version of dark-to-light color not only looks natural, it buys you months between touch-ups. "The softer side of ombré is great for 'recession highlights,'" says Kim Vō, Schwarzkopf Professional Blonding Ambassador and celebrity colorist who counts Kate Hudson, Katherine Heigl and Britney Spears as clients. "It adds incredible depth and texture." Highlights that start at hair's root need to be touched up every 4-6 weeks, subtle ombré color can look great for 4-6 months, Kim says.

Hair Twirling We all have our little quirks. Maybe you tend to play with your hair, or have a habit of biting your nails. For me, it's picking at split ends - not cute, I know.
