Skin-care tips that will have you ready for spring
When she gives her "generic spiel" on wintertime
skin care, MIT Medical dermatologist Caroline Levine, M.D.,
gets the biggest question out of the way immediately.
"My
patients always worry that I'm going to tell them not to shower
every day," she laughs. "They're so relieved when
I tell them a daily shower is okay."
But they tend to be less happy with the next part of Levine's
lecture. That would be the part where she tells them to make
it quick and lukewarm.
