Be consistent!
Skincare is like going to the gym – one time just won’t cut it! If you practice good habits everyday morning and night, your skin will not only thank you but look clearer and more even in return. No need for excessive scrubbing or a step-by-step cleansing ritual; a quick rinse with a good cleanser will do.

Invest In the Finer Things
The delicate skin around the eyes deserve a little extra care – especially, if you want to keep those ‘windows to the soul’ looking optimal and inviting. Your regular moisturizer may help you some of the way, but please consider that the eye area is more sensible and thinner, so it needs better and targeted care. A good eye cream and a serum if you’re a pro will do wonders.

Treat Your Body Like Your Face
Taking good care of your skin shouldn’t stop with your face. The skin on your body will also benefit hugely for some targeted care. Consider a moisturizing body wash, do a scrub a couple of times a week, and don’t forget to be generous with the body lotion.
Clarins Body-Smoothing Moisture Milk, $36
Step It Up
If you’re already an expert cleanser, you moisturize like a champ, and you know your skin type, you’re already getting good results – but that also means that you might be ready to add a little more to your routine for even better results. Try a targeted serum for the result you want to achieve next with your skin and see the difference.

Know Your Grooming Age
You may know your skin type, but have you considered caring for your skin according to your age? If you’re under 25, you just to focus on moisturizing and sun protection. Over 25, you need to worry about the signs of a stressful life on your skin, and once you hit the late 30s and early 40s, you need the skin-preserving powerhouses with targeted ingredients on your side.
