Dermatologists and estheticians know five skincare secrets that you don't. || AuliLifestyle

We all want to know the very best techniques for getting healthy, bright skin, regardless of whether you follow a modest beauty regimen or devour whatever skincare and makeup tips you can get your hands on. We make sure that our daily routine includes drinking enough water, cleaning our faces before night, and trying our best to avoid anything poisonous that can irritate our pores, so for the most part, we've got the essentials covered.

Innovation is wonderful, but it seems like there's always a new ingredient, method, or product on the market these days, along with a wealth of skincare tips to go with it. Given that taking care of our skin is high on our priority list, we consulted with a number of renowned physicians and estheticians to learn more about all the tips and tried-and-true knowledge they have acquired over the course of their careers.

 

Tip #1: Apply sunscreen and stay out of the sun

Avoid being in the sun, and if you must, apply sunscreen and a hat. I adore Colorescience's Sunforgettable Complete Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50 and Coolibar clothes for sun protection. — Elizabeth Tanzi, MD, the company's founder and executive director

The use of a sunscreen with anti-inflammatory and barrier-repairing compounds is one of my finest skincare recommendations. The ideal sunscreen has at least SPF 30 and offers UVA and UVB protection. Even during the non-summer months, I advise using Epionce Ultra Shield Lotion SPF 50 every day. ― Dr. Carl Thornfeldt, the man who started Epionce.

 

Step 2: Schedule a Full-Body Exam

"By the time you turn 30, you must have a dermatologist perform a complete body skin examination. Any moles you may have should be examined by qualified eyes, and you should be able to monitor them in the future for changes. The dermatologist can also show you how to properly check your own skin. This is crucial because, if detected in the earliest stages, the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma, is almost always treatable. Armed with the knowledge of what to look for, women may be able to save their own lives. – Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi

 

3. Stack goods in ascending order of thickness

"Everything between toning and moisturizing is a treatment stage in our book. The best way to ensure that each layer of serum and essence is effectively absorbed by the skin is to layer them from thinnest to thickest. The Blithe Tundra Chaga Pressed Serum is good. ― Glow Recipe's co-founders Sarah Lee and Christine Chang

 

4: Encourage Blood Flow

"One of my go-to skincare tricks is applying ginseng topically; it acts to improve blood flow in the capillaries, promoting a healthy, firmed, and radiant-from-within countenance. Extra points if you use your ginseng on top of a product with hydrating hyaluronic acid! — Christine Chang and Sarah Lee

This Ginseng Collagen Boost Mask from 100% Pure comes highly recommended.

 

5. Optimize the Fit of Your Sheet Mask

"When using a sheet mask, cut from the side of the nose fold to the eye hole to increase adherence. By doing so, you'll be able to wiggle the mask just so, bringing it up against your undereyes to avoid tenting. To further improve fit, slice the mask if necessary below the cheekbone and layer it over itself. Use an aloe vera-based mask, such as Whamisa's Organic Hydrogel Mask, to test it out. — Christine Chang and Sarah Lee
