Dropping temperatures often equate to a less than glowing appearance of the skin. But you don't have to look like a poor turkey on Thanksgiving day during these cold-weathered months. In fact, this year, I'm giving my thanks to dermatologist/psychiatrist Dr.

Acne does not discriminate, now does it? I envy my friends who have the clearest, naturally pimple-free skin, wondering when I'm going to eventually be rid of my chin and jawline acne. Luckily, the majority of us don't have the paparazzi following us around to catch us, spots and all.

A few weeks ago, a reader wrote in about advice for bringing a pimple to a head. While I dished out some tips and tricks, perhaps Mario Badescu Drying Cream ($12), a treatment that helps dry up under-the-surface-blemishes, would also have been an option.

At the risk of heading into TMI territory, I've been breaking out on the backs of my shoulders lately. Nothing crazy, but enough to notice when I wear a sundress. At first, I couldn't figure out what was behind this bout of backne — after all, I wasn't breaking out elsewhere, and if anything, my skin has been dry rather than oily.

Adult acne: Two words that I'd rather not stick together or blurt out in the same sentence. I'm sure we've all suffered from this inflammatory skin condition at some point or another, cursing its appearance with every blackhead and whitehead that surfaces.
So, what do you know about pimples and such?
