Essential Skincare Tips
12. Always apply moisturizer after washing hands. Dry, indoor air, cold weather and frequent washing can suck the moisture out of the skin on your hands.
13. Feed your face with vitamin C. A study published in the Swedish dermatology journal Acta Dermato-Venereologica showed that when used with a sunscreen, vitamin C provided added protection against ultraviolet B (sunburn-causing) and ultraviolet A (wrinkle-causing) rays. Look for serums that contain L-ascorbic acid, the form of vitamin C shown in studies to be more readily absorbed by the skin's cells.
14. Experiment with caution. Those particularly susceptible: women with acne or sensitive skin, who should only use products formulated for their skin type unless otherwise directed by their dermatologist.
15. Consider doctor-created skincare lines. Generally, these products contain stronger concentrations of ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids and anitoxidants.
