In one of the most hilarious emails I’ve read all week, my bud Patrice of LookingFlyonaDime.com, writes “Hey Style & Beauty Doctor, I’m not sure if you’ve done a post on this (I did a quick search on your site and didn’t find anything), but do you have any remedies for getting rid of dark marks on your legs? My hair follicles on my legs are dark (I call it Dorito legs) and I hate it. They keep me from having smooth looking legs and bagging a Tender Roni. Any help’s appreciated!”

So after I stopped giggling at “bagging a Tender Roni”, I felt I hadn’t chatted with my pal dermatologist Dr. Schlessinger in a bit and figured he’d be an excellent resource to help us deal with all our icky summer skincare woes. So I took to The Style and Beauty Doctor Facebook page (which if you haven’t liked yet, you’re missing OUT!) to see if anyone else had any burning summer skin questions. Turns out a few of you did!

Check out Dr. Schlessinger’s answers!

If you’re the type of person who works out and still has little problem areas that just won’t budge no matter how hard you try, this just might be for you. A little while ago I attended a press event and was introduced to BMR Beauty Lift, a line of devices that use Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to create strong, deep muscle contractions to tone your body. It works with your muscle’s natural movements to help tone and tighten. Hospitals, clinics and physiotherapy have been using the technology for over 40 years to rehabilitate the muscles. Hmm…sounds interesting.

Typically summer calls for light, fresh and clean scents, but honestly, that’s not my fragrance style. I like woody, oriental scents—in fact there are very few fragrances in this category that I’ve met that I didn’t like. So naturally when info about Molton Brown’s limited edition Londinium hit my inbox, I certainly had to try the British brand’s latest (sample received by brand’s PR).

So I’m in the A (*does obligatory Usher dance*) and tomorrow night I along with my blogging bud Lexi with the Curls are throwing a fabulous hair event with celebrity hairstylist Gabrielle Corney and VH1 “Love and Hip-Hop” Atlanta’s K. Michelle at Glambar Salon! The night is aptly titled “Hair and Hip-Hop”. Cute, right?

We’ll be talking hair, hair, hair—everything you wanted to know about weaves, natural hair, relaxers, healthy hair, and more. This is NOT to be missed.
