I've got a question about how I'm using my hair lotions. I put one on during the day after shampooing, and then I use a different one at night when I'm going to bed. Do I need to wash my hair again before putting on the night lotion, or can I just apply it straight away?

It is not necessary to wash your hair again before applying the second lotion at night. You can apply the second hair lotion without washing your hair again.

#NAME?

I'm feeling pretty worried about these acne marks on my nose. I've been using Aziclear serum like my dermatologist suggested, but it's been over 6 weeks and I haven't noticed much change. The mark has lightened just a little bit, but now it feels even more obvious because of its size. My skin is generally dry, and I've got blackheads and bumps mostly just on my nose. Do you have any advice on what I could do or should I consider something else?

There are many advanced treatment modalities available you can try with co2 laser or other perfusion techniques for a good result
