Beauty Bets at Your Boyfriend's

[SqueeKee]

Q: I hate toting all my primping products to my beau's house. Can I raid his medicine cabinet?

A: Go to your guy's place with a lighter load, because some of his grooming staples are easily transformed into a feminine beauty routine, says New Jersey dermatologist Saida Baxt. Here, her best sleepover beauty-survival suggestions:

• Remove your eye makeup with Vaseline or a few drops of olive oil on toilet paper. Both banish mascara without irritation.

• Wash your face with his hand soap -- but dilute it first by foaming it in your hands. Apply the foam to your already moistened skin with a wet washcloth.

• If you have oily skin, his aftershave works as a post-cleansing toner. It has a witch hazel or astringent base, which will gobble excess oil. If you have sensitive skin, dilute it with water.

• Substitute his sunscreen for moisturizer. Since most but not all suntan lotions are noncomedogenic (they don't clog pores), you probably won't have to worry about breakouts. Just be sure to look for one that says "oil-free" on the label.

• For a quick zit-zapper, seek out some rubbing alcohol. Put a small amount on a washcloth and dab on pimples to dry them.
