Salon owner, Yves Durif, introducing Dr. Ellen Marmur
Last night, I had the pleasure to see Ellen Marmur speak at my monthly women’s group at The Carlyle Hotel. Ellen Marmur, trained at Mount Sinai and now with her own practice on 12 E. 87th St., Marmur gave ladies between the ages of 20 and 70 valuable advice for taking care of our skin. Here are some facts I found out about, that I didn’t know before:
- Anti-aging creams: they work! Yes, after conducting various tests on women between the ages of 50 and 65, Dr. Marmur found out that anti-aging creams do, in fact, work. However, be sure to dedicate yourself to one product (not “a million,” as Dr. Marmur puts it) because those creams do not go into full affect until 6 months after purchase.
- Discard your products after 12 months: Your products become useless after a finite amount of time, so make sure to clean out your medicine cabinet at least once a year!
- Beauty Basics: Dr. Marmur suggests that every girl have a moisturizer, a facewash and a cleansing cream. You do not need anything else.
- Pain: If a product stings your face, it is likely too strong for you and you should stop using it immediately.
- Body-check: Do a once a month body check to make sure you can detect any unusual spots or marks early on. The best medicine is to know your body!
