"Q: Does your skin change every seven years? I&amp;#039;m just now starting to get breakouts that I&amp;#039;ve never had before. What gives? A: No. &amp;quot;Your skin actually changes more often than that \u2014 there isn&amp;#039;t a giant jump every seven years,&amp;quot; says Doris Day, M.D., a board certified dermatologist in New York City and author of Forget the Facelift. &amp;quot;It can change with age and the breakdown of the collagen and elastin in your skin over time. Change its course with the products you use on a daily basis \u2014 retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) unclog pores, boost collagen to reduce fine lines, and speed cell turnover to even out discoloration and smooth the skin, while glycolic acids can also help smooth your skin&amp;#039;s texture. Moisturizers help hydrate your skin and keep it plump and youthful-looking. Avoid getting too much sun, since over-exposure can make skin thinner and bring on premature aging.&amp;quot;  But the reason you&amp;#039;re probably experiencing breakouts could either be due to a new product you&amp;#039;ve recently introduced to your regimen or, like I mentioned above, it&amp;#039;s just because you&amp;#039;re going to be adding another candle on your birthday cake. If the problem persists, see your dermatologist, but for now, try any of these acne-fighting products. Q: How can you easily take off glitter nail polish?  A: Glitter polish or polish that&amp;#039;s shimmery tends to last longer on your nails than regular formulas, which you can probably tell if you&amp;#039;ve ever swiped it on because it&amp;#039;s a bitch to get off of your nails. For that reason, nail guru Simcha Whitehill, aka Miss Pop, suggests soaking a cotton ball in acetone remover, forming the cotton ball over each nail, and then letting it sit on your fingertips for a few minutes. &amp;quot;Then, gently apply some pressure and wipe the polish off with the cotton ball \u2014 the glitter should slip right off with it.&amp;quot; You can also pick up Sephora&amp;#039;s Instant Nail Polish Remover ($10) \u2014 I swear it&amp;#039;s magic, because it takes glitter off in seconds. All you do is dip your finger into the center hole of the sponge inside of the jar and move your fingertip around to swipe the paint right off of your nail bed.  Q: I&amp;#039;m not ready to wear a bold lip, but I don&amp;#039;t want to not be able to wear intense color. What can I do?  A: If you&amp;#039;re not yet ready to apply a bold red, burgundy, or pink hue all over your lips, try stain versions of these shades, says Joanna Schlip, an LA-based makeup artist. They&amp;#039;ll give you a pop of color without being too intense. Photo Credit: Gallery Stock Got beauty questions?
