Good skin and skin care is important for people of all ages, whether you want a clear complexion or to combat declining collagen and reduce fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes or on your neck. Depending on your age and skin type, dermatologists can recommend serums, botox, fillers (like Juvederm), Zemoin, natural treatments, supplements, and more. There are also many makeup brands that create products, like concealers and foundations, for specific skin types and issues, such as Clarins, Estée Lauder and Shiseido. Whether you’re worried about your frown lines or are struggling with blemishes, here’s 6 secrets to flawless skin that will have you glowing in no time:

1. Collagen and other supplements
If skin aging is your concern, you should look into collagen and other skin-supporting supplements. Collagen is a protein found in connective tissues, skin, tendons, and cartilage—as you age, collagen decreases and elasticity and hydration declines. Taking collagen supplements, or other forms of collagen like creams, can rehydrate the skin, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Other good supplements for the skin include vitamin C, Omega-3, CoQ-10, and more

2. Sunscreen
Sunscreen is the most important and effective product for flawless skin at any age. It should be worn everyday and reapplied as needed—yes, that means even on cloudy and rainy days when you swear the sun isn’t out! Sunscreen prevents sunburns, skin cancer, and premature aging. If you listen to any of these secrets to flawless skin, it should be this one.

3. Botox or fillers
Botox or filler injections can fill in the gaps in any wrinkles or creases in your skin and bring your youthful skin back. What’s more, some compounds that are injected can enhance collagen production (increasing hydration and elasticity), therefore stimulating natural anti-aging responses in the skin. Even if you don’t have significant wrinkles yet, you can try preventative botox to ensure your skin responds to botox or fillers even better in the future as less wrinkles will form over time. 

4. The right skincare regime
Taking care of your skin daily is an essential part of healthy and flawless skin. You can see your dermatologist to have a built routine specific to your skin, or if you know your skin type and skin issues, a little research into good products can go a long way. Your morning routine should consist of cleanser, toner, serums, moisturizer, eye cream, and sunscreen. At night, double cleanse to remove makeup and bacteria, use toner, then serums, moisturizer, eye cream, and lastly retinol.

5. Keep your pillowcase and phone clean
No matter how good your skincare routine is, if the things you touch your face with are dirty and bacteria ridden, your skin is going to be negatively affected. Wash or swap your pillowcase weekly to avoid dirt and oil build up. Also, keep antibacterial wipes handy to wipe down the surface of your phone before you take a call—or try headphones with a mic to avoid that contact altogether.

6. Drink lots of water
The best way to keep your skin hydrated is from the inside out, meaning the amount of water you drink is directly connected to the appearance of your skin. Good hydration can keep your skin glowing, hydrated, and can reduce puffiness.
