Amy, I noticed that in your latest column about dandruff, you never mentioned that it might not be dandruff at all, but a sunburned scalp. I don’t know about other people, but I know that if I don’t cover up where my hair is parted,…
You know, sometimes when I’m writing specific product-related entries here, I annoy myself with my complete inability to write a declarative sentence. I tend to grey-area things up with a lot of wishy-washy language, since I’m hesitant to make bold claims about something being the…

OH, wise advice giver, save the face of this lady. Lately, I have developed adult acne. I am currently on all kinds of wonderful prescribed medications to help combact the enemy. Do you think monthly facials would help? I take really good care of my…
So my wedding is in almost exactly one month, and I went to make an appointment to have my pre-wedding waxing… and my salon has closed down. Overnight. Totally cleared out. Huge, posh spa & salon, all gone. Phone disconnected, website taken down. Like it…
Dear Amy, I’ve researched your archived articles regarding acne and found little feedback from Accutane users. I know you suggest the Philosophy line, which I’ve tried, it made my skin go crazy! I have moderate acne which has developed over the course of the last…

How to Repair Your Makeup After Crying Hi Amy, I have a somewhat strange question to ask. I am about to go through a number of events (an IVF cycle, a close friend’s wedding, sister’s graduation) where I will definitely be crying, but still need…
Hi Amy, First, I want to tell you that I absolutely love your blog and everything else you write, and I often laugh out loud in my silent, empty apartment and scare my cat and make her duck to her hiding spot under my bed….

Review of Olay Regenerist 14-Day Skin Intervention Okay, so I have to admit that I am a sucker for challenges. Especially those of the two-week variety. Activia yogurt! Crest Whitestrips! Change your life in 14 days! It is perhaps more a sign of laziness than…
Dear Amy, You don’t have to post this but if you would get back to me I would really, really appreciate it. After reading your column and being at my wit’s end with my skin I purchased the Philosophy “starter kit”. I have seen a…
Amalah, thanks to you I have fallen in love with all things Philosophy and, awhile back, you gave me some awesome advice about how to deal with the dark circles under my eyes. Sure, my bank balance is a little lower but I’m much happier…
