For those with a clear bandage, like Saniderm, follow your artist’s guidelines as many have different suggestions. Wei, for example, says you can leave it on for three to five days, while Fergus usually recommends taking…

It’s always an honor to be the first anything. I was thrilled that I was the one. I have to tell you, the week before my season aired, Bravo was running the marathon of old Beverly Hills episodes and I had a panic attack — like, “Aaaah! Everybody is going to see everything!” I was…
