Use Toner Before Your Serums
Think of toner as a pH-balancing agent for your skin. Serums and creams can penetrate deeper if your skin is properly pH-balanced. When you are using gold standard serums like CE Ferulic or CF Phloretin you want the best bang for your buck! (SkinCeuticals Conditioning Solution: $34)
-
Invest in a Laser Treatment Series or Maintain Results After Having a Series of Treatments at Least Once a Year
Every woman over 30 who has had fun in the sun, taken oral contraceptives or had the hormonal fluctuations of pregnancy could benefit from series of six photorejuenvation treatments. [$2500 per treatment series]. If you’ve completed a series, try a yearly Intense Pulsed Light treatment [$425 per treatment], which can keep those sun-induced spots that make skin look dull at bay.

Not Using A Vitamin C – Add It to Your Regimen
Apply five drops of vitamin C serum [like CE Ferulic or CF Phloretin] underneath SPF each morning to prevent free radical damage, help lighten brown spots, and even out your skin tone. Oh, it helps build collagen too! (SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic or CF Phloretin: $166)
-
Pay Pores Attention
While blackheads aren’t usually too noticeable you want to remove anything that could lead to increased pore size, congestion or blemishes. In no time flat, you remove debris with a clinical facial treatment like HydraFacial MD [$225 per treatment]. This treatment takes as little as 60 minutes and will leave your skin looking flawless.
