Heidi Waldorf, MD — Dermatologist, New York City“As a skin­care loving derm diva, this is very very tough, so here’s my answer with caveats. IF I can have only one topicalproduct… and only one…it has to be Vaseline petroleum jelly. Vaseline is to me what Windex was to the father in My BigFat Greek Wedding. You can use it for just about everything from moisturizing to protecting to healing… And then I’d justfashion a sun protective poncho and hat from palm leaves…”

Nelly Gauthier, MD — Cosmetic Surgeon, Paris“It would have to be Vaseline. I consider it a beauty product and a pure one! It really helps dry skin AND dry lips as well. Italso soothes sun burns I might get on this Island.”

Monika Kiripolsky, MD — Dermatologist, Beverly Hills, CA“I would choose ZO Skin Health Oclipse Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30 because it is a lightly tinted sunblock that protectsagainst UVA, UVB, and has melanin (what gives our skin natural pigment), which makes it even more potent than asimilar product without the melanin. Also, it doesn’t feel greasy or clog my pores, so I don’t even feel like I’m wearingsunblock. I like it so much that I even wear it out to dinner at night (the universal tint makes my skin look even moreflawless than it already is!). I’d need loads and loads of it, as we all know that sunblocks start to wear off after about anhour and a half to two hours.

Marc Edward – Celebrity Facialist, West Hollywood, CA“My favorite desert island beauty product is my Marc Edward Skincare Nourishing Moisture Serum loaded withceramides, lipids, sphingolipids, and is dewy and hydrating, giving the skin a glow. It’s my #1 selling product and it workswell with any moisture cream anyone already has, and can be used under the cream or on top of any other serum. Ifyou’re on a desert island, besides sunscreen your skin will become dry, parched, dehydrated, and lackluster quicklyespecially from drying saltwater from the ocean, so this is why I love this serum for the face or body.”

Tina Alster, MD – Dermatologist, Washington DC“My choice would be SKIN IS IN BB Cream because it contains 1) an antioxidant to clear away free radicals and make theskin brighter, 2) a nonchemical SPF to protect skin from the island sun, and 3) a tint so that I can look fabulous!”

Brooke Jackson, MD — Dermatologist, Chapel Hill, N.C.“Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF15 because a derm diva needs a little sparkle and some scissors, so Ican make an adorable grass jumpsuit from the palm leaves while I sip coconut milk in the shade! I can also use thescissors to cut down branches to build a hut, since the sunscreen will eventually run out and one will be better off with aphysical structure to block.”Jill Waibel, MD — Dermatologist, Miami FL “If I can’t bring one of my lasers, then I would have to say Retin­A because it helps prevent wrinkles and skin cancer, andit also helps renew your skin. But then, if you are using Retin­A, you would have to bring an SPF30 to avoid turning as redas a lobster in all that direct sun exposure.”

Jason Joel Emer, MD — Dermatologist, Beverly Hills “Since it’s a desert, I’d have to have sunscreen — Jan Marini Daily Face Protectant SPF33 Non­Tinted. What’s greatabout this one is that it is an “anti­aging” sunscreen — so it has a dual function. It has hyaluronic acid which plumps andhydrates the skin, beta glucan to reverse previous sun damage, and microscopic oil controlling sponges making theapplication easy and able to go under makeup. And it smells amazing!”

Jessica Krant, MD — Dermatologist, New York City“My one favorite beauty product for my stint on a desert island isn’t about skincare or anti­aging, or even what we reallywant on a desert island — sunscreen — because this has no sunscreen at all. When I want a really special evening outand want to feel like a supermodel, I use MAC Cosmetics Strobe Cream. It’s a primer and moisturizer with reflectiveoptical properties so finely prepared, that it just gives a dewy translucency to the skin without an actual sparkle. Iinvariably get constant compliments all night every time I wear it, without people knowing why they think I look even betterthan usual. It brings out the light in my skin, it hides my flaws, and it makes me look fresh and glowing. It’s my secret, and Ialmost didn’t want to share it, but what the heck!”

Lori Brightman, MD — Dermatologist, New York City“ONLY one…I would like to have a one stop shopping then, a product that will fight the signs of aging and protect my skinwithout any harsh chemicals. Scalisi Anti Aging Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF30 — I like the clinical trials behind itproving efficacy as well as use of botanicals and all natural ingredients.”
