Marc the Spots

Skin Care by Marc Edward

The word “sucker” gets thrown around a lot.

But when it comes to your approach to skin care, the shoe sadly fits. From seaweed cream to diamond dust, if it promises to be the facial fixer-upper of your dreams, you’ve given it a shot.

Time to put your face in Marc Edward’s hands. Formerly guy Friday to plastic surgeons and hard-core derms, Edward recently made the switch from medical to Melrose. He offers serious skin care with a firm basis in medical research.

Whether your issues are with smog-clogged pores or a sun-damaged dermis, he’ll formulate a plan using the latest technology in microdermabrasion, galvanic currents, or even a supersonic face brush. (Betcha don’t have one of those.) And no snake oil or silver bullets here; Edward uses doctors-only product lines like SkinMedica.

What to do with all those infomercial brands and pearl creams now that you’ve enlisted an expert? Give them away — surely someone will want them.

There’s another born every minute.
