The Best Advice On ... Keeping A Youthful Glow
4. Wash your face before going to bed -- no matter how tired you are. Makeup left on overnight can block pores (triggering breakouts) and give skin a dull cast. (February 1986)

5. Slough off dry, dull skin. One of the quickest ways to get a radiant complexion is with a gentle exfoliating scrub, which literally sloughs off dead, dulling cells on the skin's surface-- and allows newer, healthier and more radiant skin cells to shine through. (December 2000)
2006 UPDATE Recent innovations like at-home peels and home microdermabrasion kits are more effective than ever before, allowing users to get results similar to those of services offered in a dermatologist's office.

6. Try, really try, to reduce stress in your life. Studies link it with a weakened immune system, which in turn can trigger everything from acne flare-ups to eczema. Exercise, a good night's sleep and a healthy, balanced diet are all things that can help soften anxiety's impact on the body -- and the skin. (September 2001)

7. Put an end to body breakouts. Clean pimple-prone body skin (back, shoulders, buttocks) at least once a day with an acne wash or with a wipe/pad that contains breakout-busting salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide; regular use of either will help clear skin and prevent new pimples from forming.
