Complete the Pass for a Clear Complexion

If blemishes are your biggest rival, your first play should always be to wash your skin with an acne cleanser that clears pores of pimple-causing dirt and oil. Choose a multi-tasking product that exfoliates the skin to prevent blemishes while also treating current breakouts with ingredients like salicylic acid. We checked in with board-certified dermatologist and LovelySkin CEO Dr. Joel Schlessinger on why salicylic acid is key to beating blemishes:

“While a low percentage salicylic acid spot treatment in a cream or serum form can help clear single breakouts with minimal irritation, a face wash that contains salicylic acid will help prevent breakouts from even forming in the first place. Plus, a daily salicylic acid face wash will give your skin a daily deep clean and help keep pores clear.”

Product MVP: LovelySkin LUXE Clarifying Gel Cleanser

Out score blemishes and oily skin with this acne cleanser that clears existing blemishes with 2% salicylic acid and sloughs away dull skin and debris with 2% glycolic acid. Clarify skin with this foaming cleanser that also soothes inflammation and never over-dries skin.

Your Game Face Shouldn’t Include Sun Damage

Don’t let harmful UV rays blitz your skin. Help prevent sun damage, hyperpigmentation and potential skin cancer by shielding your skin daily with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Product MVP: EltaMD UV Replenish Broad Spectrum SPF 44

Your best offense is a good defense and this 5.5% titanium dioxide and 10% zinc oxide sunscreen is the ultimate defender against UV rays, infrared rays and high-energy visible (HEV) light. EltaMD UV Replenish is chemical-free and oil-free so it can play for all skin types and is water-resistant for all day wear. Stop sun damage before it starts and be sure to apply every two hours (or more frequently) when you are in the sun.

Pro Tip: Want to expand your sun protection and defend skin against environmental factors like pollution? Team up with a daily vitamin C product like the Obagi Professional-C Serum 10% to boost the benefits of your sunscreen. This one is formulated with 10% pure ascorbic acid; a potent antioxidant that not only neutralizes free radicals to prevent future damage, but also helps brightens skin and supports collagen production to help fill in fine lines.

Run Down the Clock on Wrinkles

Give tired skin a pep talk by using a rejuvenating treatment that contains superstar ingredients for anti-aging. Choose a potent product that improves fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration and dull skin to achieve a healthy, more youthful-looking complexion.

Expand your Playbook with Skin Cleansing Brushes and Toning Devices

Keep your game face lineup strong by incorporating a cleansing brush or toning device into your daily skin care regimen. At-home devices can complement the benefits of in-office treatments, beef up your cleansing routine or give your facial muscles a workout for younger, firmer skin.
