Below are the top ten beauty tips I regularly share with my patients. When it comes to skin care, I approach the whole person. Therefore, you\u2019ll find the recommendations below to be all encompassing. Healthy skin really does begin on the inside out.<\/p>\n

1. Wear sunscreen everyday <\/strong>– for regular daily wear, a moisturizer with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.\u00a0 I typically recommend an SPF 30 or greater.\u00a0 Some of my favorites are Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46, Neocutis Journee Bio-restorative Day Cream SPF 30, and First Aid Beauty 5 in 1 Face Cream SPF 30.\u00a0 The latter two are great multi-taskers since they contain antioxidants and other antiaging ingredients.<\/p>\n

2. Always remove your makeup before going to bed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Use gentle cleansers<\/strong>, such as Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash, CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser and Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, and do not rub vigorously when washing.\u00a0 To cleanse the skin more thoroughly, add a Clarisonic cleansing brush, which can even improve skin texture and tone. Avoid harsh products.<\/p>\n

4. Gently exfoliate once a week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Add products containing antioxidants<\/strong> for antiaging benefits, such as SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic and a prescription or over-the-counter retinoic acid (RoC and Neutrogena both have great retinol creams).<\/p>\n

6. Use a hyaluronic acid<\/strong> product for increased hydration.\u00a0 One of my favorites is Neocutis\u2019 HYALIS Refining Serum.<\/p>\n

7. If your skin tends to be sensitive, look for products with soothing ingredients<\/strong>such as Aveeno\u2019s Ultra-Calming line (contains feverfew) and Eucerin Redness Relief line (contains Licochalcone a licorice-root extract), as well as skin barrier-repairing ingredients, such as niacinamide, found in CeraVe Facial Moisturing Lotion (AM and PM).<\/p>\n

8. Don\u2019t forget to protect that delicate skin around your eyes<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
• use an eye cream with an SPF daily, such as La Roche-Posay Hydraphase UV\u00a0 Eye SPF 29 and Clarins Sunscreen for Eyes Wrinkle Control Cream SPF 30<\/li>\n
• wear sunglasses<\/li>\n
• use a hydrating eye cream at night (you can use an eye cream tailored for your specific need e.g. antiaging, dark circles, etc).\u00a0 Some of my favorites are Neocutis Lumiere Bio-restorative Eye Cream with PSP, La Prairie Cellular Radiance Eye Cream, Shiseido Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream, RoC Retinol Correxion Sensitive Eye Cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  9. Make sure to get plenty of rest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

  10. Eat a well-balanced diet, limit alcohol consumption and quit smoking.<\/strong><\/p>\n
