Preserve Your Pretty

Know Your Skin Type - It’s a simple, yet mandatory set: If you have oily or combination skin, use products such as serums and gels made for your type of skin that won’t clog pores. If you have dry or normal skin, creams and lotions are for you. Stop by your local Sephora for a free skin test. (Photo: Strauss/Curtis/Corbis)

Watch What You Eat - You are what you eat. Years of eating junk food, drinking booze and smoking can take a toll on your skin and make you look a bit worn down. Eat more real food — greens, lean meats, veggies, nuts, etc. for younger, firmer-looking skin. (Photo: Abel Mitja Varela/Getty Images)

Retinol Is Your Friend - Retinol-based creams are great for smoothing your skin and combating wrinkles, and it’s never too early to start using them. Even better, they don’t have to be expensive. Opt for a prescription that your insurance can help cover or try an over-the-counter brand like Garnier Ultra-Lift 2-in-1 Wrinkle Reducer Serum and Moisturizer for Wrinkles + Firming.

Keep Dark Spots in Check

Exfoliate Often - Black skin tends to be oily, so it’s important to exfoliate your skin often to help with the skin’s renewal process and to unclog your pores. Use a facial scrub at least once a week, or opt for a deep cleansing facial brush, such as the Clarisonic or Oily of Olay’s less expensive version. (Photo: Clarisonic)
