  2. Skin care in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond

    Every few months a new beauty trend, treatment or potion is revealed — the latest skin-tightening laser, an age-defying ingredient or a longer-lasting filler. But should a fresh-faced 20-year-old be using retinol creams? And when is the right time to consider Botox? In the day of instant gratification, where do we draw the line between too soon and too late? We asked some experts for advice.

  4. How to keep skin soft in winter

    Cracked heels, chapped lips, scaly legs, fissured hands, skin so tight and parched it practically hurts to smile. All can be brought on by dry, hot Santa Ana winds common in the fall or by the cold weather and heated rooms of winter — and Angelenos have experienced a taste of both in the last couple of weeks. Even without harsh weather conditions, just spending time in one of Southern California's desert microclimates can be hard on skin.

  5. Chronic itch: Every bit as debilitating and depressing as chronic pain

    If you've had it, you would know. Chronic itchiness -- often the result of skin conditions such as <a title="&lt;runtime:topic id=" href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001470">psoriasis</a>, <a title="&lt;runtime:topic id=" href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001856">eczema </a>or allergies -- disrupts sleep, dims pleasure and limits activities.

  8. Can a pill protect us from the sun?

    Have you ever slathered on sunscreen but somehow managed to miss your nose? Or the back of your hand? Or the tops of your feet? You're not the only one. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, most people apply less than half of the optimal amount of sunscreen, a habit that adds up to a lot of burned patches and uncomfortable rides home from the beach.
