Firsthand Beauty Lessons from Top 10 Skincare Experts

So what do dermatologists, who have countless years of education and skincare expertise, use on their skin? Many people would love to get the answer to this very question. Learn what products and techniques the experts use and how they handle skincare concerns in this excerpt from Skincare-News.com, “What the Pros Use on Their Skin: 10 Beauty Lessons.”

1. They change their products according to the seasons. The summertime, according to Yahoo! Health dermatologist Leslie Baumann, is all about reducing incidental UV exposure – the walk to the car and mailbox count! So she suggests dual-purpose products that protect against the sun and contain antioxidants. In fact, according to the research, it may be possible to reverse signs of sun damage by wearing a sunscreen with antioxidants like vitamin C, says dermatologist Mary H. Lien, M.D., who’s also a melanoma specialist at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute, in Tampa, in Real Simple.

2. They use retinoids. According to Francesca Fusco, in Prevention, “It's medically proven that retinoids are the strongest thing you can use to slow the aging process—they diminish fine lines, increase cell turnover to give a youthful glow, and lighten brown spots." Plus, retinoids help to thicken skin and even prevent basal and squamous cell skin cancers, Amy Wechsler, M.D., dermatologist and author of The Mind-Beauty Connection, tells Total Beauty.

3. They use antioxidant-rich formulas. Whether they come in moisturizers or serums, antioxidants are must-haves in most dermatologists’ anti-aging arsenals. That’s because they neutralize skin-damaging free radicals. Dermatologists use formulas with vitamin C, E, green tea and idebenone. On a side note, while idebenone is a powerful antioxidant, it might be too irritating for some skin types.

4. They like budget-savers, too. Dermatologist Heidi Waldorf, M.D., counts petroleum jelly as her go-to remedy, which she uses on everything from her lips to her feet. Plus, she uses it to remove her makeup and to prevent cuts from scabbing.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, here are a few other budget-friendly tips: Avoid letting 12 hours go by without using some treatment on your skin; to maximize your moisturizer, apply it right after you cleanse or shower; use double-duty products; and to get the most out of your money, look for anti-aging formulas with vitamin A and alpha hydroxy acids.
