Can anyone advise me on some products that might help in fading brown spots? I've read that hydroquinone is good, but only at high concentrations (3-4%). The only products I've found that have this are called Nadinola (3%) and a peel on ebay called

I am a 38tear old male and I get extremely dry skin at times after bathing, can anyone offer suggestions for body lotions I might try? BTW, fragrances and scents do not bother me as long as the product moisturizes well.

Heel shape?
For a few years, spike heels have been in fashion. Lately I've seen younger women wearing chunkier heels, like the kind that were in fashion before the spikes came in. Are chunky heels coming back in? Are spikes on the way out? Sincerely, Rik

I know that we're supposed to brush suede to raise the nap and remove dry dirt, but I've never found it to be very helpful in the dirt department. Yesterday it occurred to me that instead of rubbing in the dirt with a brush, I might be able to lift
