Update your daily routine. For eye cream, don’t pat on your eye cream. Instead, use the tip of your pinky (the finger with the lightest touch) to gently massage it in a clockwise circle across the lid and underneath the eye 20 to 30 times. Your finger will also warm the product, releasing the active ingredients. The best product: Estee Lauder eye treatments.
For toner, choose an alcohol- and fragrance-free formula suited to your skin type. Use an alcohol-based toner only if you have very oily skin, applying it just at night to unclog pores. The best product: Nutrimetics Pore Reducing Toner with AHA and BHA. Use it with Refine Pore Reducing Moisturizer in the morning and Refine Pore Reducing Beauty Essence at night.
As for sunscreen, don’t do tanning between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Always wear an SPF of 25 or higher. The best products: Sisley Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 25 or SPF 40. They’re rather expensive but worth it as they really block the damaging rays of the sun and they won’t clog your pores.
Some moisturizers I would recommend are the Sisley Anti-Aging Global Day and Night Cream, Biorica, Aveeno, and Retin A for night application.
Use a makeup remover at night before washing your face. Cleanser alone will not remove makeup. The best product: Lancome Bi-Facial Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover. It’s not greasy and you can use it on your entire face. Lancome is available at Rustan’s.
