Simple tips to keep skin looking radiant

Cleanse

Use a gentle, non-soap cleanser that won’t dry out skin and is safe to use twice daily.

Moisturize

If you have oily skin and are prone to breakouts, look for a gel-based or oil-free moisturizer. Use a minimum SPF of 30 for the face and don’t forget the neck, chest area and back of the hands — parts of the body that are the first to betray your age.

Exfoliate

Gycolic acid, also known as alpha hydroxy acid, is clinically-proven to slough off dead skin cells, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and even out skin tone. Experts advise starting with a glycolic acid concentration between 5 and 8 per cent, and graduating to 10 per cent, the highest non-prescription dosage available if you don’t experience any irritation.

Vitamin A

Take care if you have sensitive skin as it can cause redness, itching and sun irritation. Vitamin A is a clinically-proven agent that can prevent wrinkles as it penetrates deep into the skin’s layers where collagen and elastin reside. Vitamin A increases collagen production, prevents fine lines and gives a polished look.
