Great skin is not simply a matter of DNA — your daily habits, in fact, have a big impact on what you see in the mirror. 

Proper skin care is important because our skin is the largest barrier against infection that we have. Keeping our skin 

healthy and moist helps keep this barrier strong. ... This

layer maintains skin's overall hydration and serves as our

primary defense against the environment, so keeping it

strong and healthy is critical.

The goal of any skin-care routine is to tune up

your complexion so it’s functioning at its

best, and also troubleshoot or target

any areas you want to work on.

Give it Time

The science behind skin-care products

has come a long way but there’s still no

such thing as an instant fix — you need

time to reap the benefits. “Results are only

seen through consistent use.” Generally, aim

to use a product over at least six weeks, once

or twice daily, to notice a difference.
