Daily Skin Care Regimen

• The most important change you need to make to your daily routine is using a sunblock or moisturizer with at least SPF 15 every day. Even minimal sun exposure can lead to weathered-looking skin or age spots later in life. Your daily moisturizer should also contain antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E , which sometimes is listed as tocopherol. Other beneficial additives include selenium and green tea extracts. According to Dr. Leslie Baumann, Yahoo! Health's "Skin Guru," drinking two to three cups of green tea daily can also help give you the antioxidants your body needs to fight off the effects of aging.
  
  Wash your face twice daily, and never wear makeup to bed. Use toner and moisturizer after cleansing. Toner helps to remove dirt and dead skin, and moisturizer helps to replenish moisture and nutrients your cleanser might have stripped away. Some moisturizers also contain anti-aging additives that can help restore elasticity and reduce the look of fines lines.
  
  Use an exfoliating scrub three to five times per week. This will buff away dead skin cells, smoothing away a dull complexion and giving your skin a youthful appearance.
  
  

Weekly Skin Care Requirements

• The Skincare Company recommends that once a week, or every other week if you have sensitive skin, you use an in-home chemical peel, preferably one with glycolic acid, to buff away dull skin and restore a healthy glow. You should also be using a night cream or serum that contains retinol, a form of vitamin A.
  
  Retinol is a vitamin complex that is an antioxidant, which means it can undo damage like wrinkles caused by free radicals. Retinol speeds up the turnover of new skin cells. As your skin ages, the dullness it can exhibit is due to the slowing down of your skin cell's turnover. Retinol can help your skin look fresh and younger-looking, so whenever possible buy products which contain retinol.
  
  

Quarterly and Yearly Skin Care Advice

• Visit your dermatologist each year to get checked for skin cancer. With each change of season, get a professional facial and assess your current skin care needs. You may find that you need extra moisture in winter and a lighter moisturizer in summer. Consider using Botox for the first time, or perhaps IPL, or intense pulsed light treatments, which can help erase sunspots and broken blood vessels.
