Beauty Skin Care Tips

31. TEA TIME
Antioxidants have proven to be extremely important as an aging preventative, says NYCbased cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Howard Sobel. I recommend looking for products that have a complex of antioxidants, such as green tea, vitamin C, and CoQ10.
32. SKIN SAVIORS
To see increased smoothness, improved skin tone, and fewer wrinkles, exfoliate with a wellformulated alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) or beta hydroxy acid (BHA) product, says skincare expert Paula Begoun. You dont need bothAHAs are generally best for dry, sundamaged skin while BHAs are best for acne or blackheadprone skin.
33. TRY COCONUT
As an alternative to the usual glass of water, try coconut water. Its a huge trend in Hollywood right now and helps to naturally keep you hydrated, says Beverly Hillsbased dermatologist Dr. Susan Evans.
34. TEST FIRST
If your skin is sensitive, test new products on the inside of your wrist 24 hours before using it on your whole body. Also, be sure to choose mild products specifically formulated for sensitive skin.
35. BEAUTY SLEEP
Wake up with soft, hydrated skin while tackling everything from eczema to acne with an ultrahydrating mask. Instead of washing the formula off, wear it overnight and blot off the excess with a tissue at sunup.
36. WINENO
One less serving of alcohol per day can make a noticeable difference in your appearance. Alcohol dehydrates the skin (which causes wrinkles) while inflaming tissue. Combat these effects by watering down wine and liquor with club soda and drinking a glass of water between alcoholic beverages.
37. DIY SCRUB
You may have heard that olive oil can be used as an athome cleanser, but only for normal complexions. To exfoliate dry skin, try mixing a quarter cup of olive oil with a teaspoon of brown sugar and dab onto parched or flaky areas.
38. BEWITCHING EYES
Witch hazel is a natural skintightening astringent and can be used to deflate undereye bags, says makeup pro Shalini Vadhera. Soak two cotton pads in cold witch hazel and apply one to each closed eye for five minutes.
39. TREAT YOUR FEET
Get smoother tootsies in a flash with a mixture of salt and lotion, or by rubbing them with olive oil. Rinse thoroughly, and push back the cuticles as you towel dry.
40. NO SCRUBS
Change your exfoliating practices with the seasons to guarantee that you dont strip the skin of essential oils. Take it down to a few times a week in the summer, and once a week during winter so you dont dry out your skin, says Dr. Debra Jailman, M.D., a New York City dermatologist.
