Terry Lawton: Meet the Morning Right
If you often practice acid peeling or like to cleanse your skin until it squeaks with abrasive scrubs, you can not expect pleasant changes. Celebrity cosmetologist Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz consider these techniques too aggressive. Terry Lawton says that they injure the skin without doing it any good.
Nutrition - a glass of water with a slice of lemon on an empty stomach and a protein breakfast with green leafy vegetables will help transform your face and make your skin fresh and beautiful. And, of course, you shouldn't forget about complex cosmetic care!
Dandy Engelman: Just Add Water
Moisturizing the skin from the outside and from the inside is advised by a dermatologist from Manhattan - Dandy Engelman. “We constantly hear that the amount of water we drink per day affects the level of skin hydration. But drinking regimen alone is not enough to keep the skin healthy and hydrated. It is very important to use moisturizing mists (mist), creams and serums in her care."
Mamie MacDonald: Find a place in the sun
The use of cosmetics with protection from ultraviolet rays is considered the main criterion for home skin care by Mamie MacDonald, a beautician whose services Madonna, Eva Mendes and Kerry Washington turn to.
“Many women with dark skin believe that high levels of melanin protect them from the sun's rays. But no one is immune from skin cancer! Every day you need to use a product with an SPF of 30 or higher. And no “but”, “if” and “or”! And to fight the manifestations of hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores and acne scars, you can use microdermabrasion. The course of procedures gives excellent results!.
Hélène Marmour: Try not to dry out your skin
It is possible to understand whether the skin needs intensive hydration - for example, care products with hyaluronic acid, based on the condition of the skin of the lips. Dermatologist from New York - Helen Marmour says: "If you feel that the skin of the lips has become drier, it means that there is not enough moisture in the body and it is time to take action."
Holly Burleigh: Don't Neglect Tonics
“Many girls ignore facial toners and apply moisturizer to their skin immediately after washing. I did that too until I was 30! - Says a beautician from Los Angeles - Holly Burleigh. - After I introduced toning lotions into my beauty rituals, my skin changed for the better.
Toners help to wash away the remains of cleansers from the face, as well as neutralize the negative effects of hard tap water. With them, care is both more pleasant and gives the best results!
Jessica Wu: Try a Relaxing Massage
“Many people (including me) often frown and smile, sleep with their faces in a pillow, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead and crow's feet,” says Los Angeles-based dermatologist Jessica Wu. - To relax my face, I do an acupressure face massage for a few minutes before bed. With the tapping movements of the fingertips, I move from the eyebrows to the temples, and then down to the wings of the nose. Regular massage helps you look and feel your best.”
Elena Eretski: Use SOS-means
If you are preparing for a big event where you need to look perfect, before going to bed the day before, do a peeling (a procedure to exfoliate dead cells), and then apply hydrocortisone ointment under the eyes instead of your usual moisturizer. “The product will have an anti-inflammatory effect, remove redness, swelling and bags under the eyes. But don't overuse this method! Anything that is used often and in large quantities has side effects,”says the star cosmetologist, certified specialist in the field of aesthetic medicine - Elena Eretski.
Whitney Bow: Review your menu
Your diet has a huge impact on your skin. Try to stay away from starchy vegetables and refined carbohydrates such as white bread and rice, preferring foods high in omega-3 fatty acids. "Products such as avocado and salmon will help preserve youthful skin and restore its natural glow," says New York-based dermatologist Whitney Bowe.
Rene Rouleau: Don't forget about vitamins
The renowned cosmetologist Rene Rouleau, who helps to care for the face and body of celebrities - Emma Roberts, Demi Lovato and Emma Rossum, believes that beautiful skin is one that does not know what ultraviolet rays are.

The most popular and effective among them are beauty vitamins C and E.
Joana Vargas: Use Natural Beauty Recipes
“There is no better anti-inflammatory agent than strong chamomile infusion!” Says Hollywood cosmetologist Joanna Vargas. Her celebrity clients include Mandy Moore, whose flawless skin is admirable. “I use chamomile infusion to cleanse my face every time my skin feels unwell - red spots, inflammation or peeling. This remedy always helps,”the famous cosmetologist shares his beauty secret.
Karin Grossman: Run towards beautiful skin
Karin Grossman, MD, a dermatologist from California, never misses a morning run or gym.

Regular exercise is the key to healthy and youthful skin!
Mary Lupo: Fight Bad Habits
A supporter of non-surgical skin rejuvenation, associate professor of clinical dermatology at Tulane University - Mary Lupo, considers dehydration to be the main enemy of beauty. “You need to drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. If your body is dehydrated, your skin will be the first to tell. Do not forget that bad habits can undermine the health of the skin. For example, smoking. When I book a table in a restaurant and they ask me if you smoke, I always answer - no, and I don't want to be near smokers! Smoking constricts capillaries, depriving skin cells of much needed oxygen.
Lisa Ayran: Choose your cosmetics wisely
“I spend several thousand dollars a year looking at the latest in beauty care. But I never use several products at once,”says Lisa Iron, MD, dermatologist from New York. - Clients often turn to me with problems of a "global scale" - red rash, pimples, inflammatory elements caused by improper use of cosmetics. Women with acne and sensitive skin suffer more than others. Remember: you can use only those preparations that are suitable for your skin type, unless otherwise prescribed by a dermatologist."
Joshua Zeichner: Try Retinoid Products
The best beauty secret for the fair sex is cosmetics with retinoids. It is a derived form of vitamin A. “Retinoids stimulate collagen production, making the skin strong and healthy, increasing its elasticity and ability to resist the formation of wrinkles. If you use the products with them several times a week, the skin will look young and fresh. I recommend starting with over-the-counter drugs, and when the skin adapts, switch to more sophisticated products,”says Joshuya Zeichner, MD, associate professor of dermatology.
Chris Adigun: Don't forget about the neck and décolleté area
“Some of my clients look older simply because they neglect to take care of their neck and décolleté. I recommend using the same products on the indicated areas as for the face. These are serums, moisturizers and sunscreens,”concludes the beauty guide, star cosmetologist Chris Adigun.
Be healthy and beautiful!
