Derm-to-the-stars Patricia Wexler shares her top tips & tricks for at-home anti-aging care:

Skip Purifying/Foaming Facial Cleanser
Cleanser should cleanse your skin without stripping natural oils, which protect our skin from aging.

What to look for?
Non-greasy, yet penetrating to leave the skin free of debris while the natural balance is protected and enhanced.

Don't go there!
Anything that foams, because it contains alcohol. If it makes you skin feel tight, like trying to fit yourself in a pair of Calvins in the 80's, skip it. It's going to do more harm than good. It will dry out your skin and your skin will either flake or your skin will become oily/ problem skin because your oil glands will pump alot oil to compensate for the dryness in the lower layers of the skin. So, your skin will be dry on the inside and oily on the outside and after 6 months your skin will be sensitive.

Also, When it comes with cleansing products, always try to find products with no fragrance or natural fragrance because alot of times that's what's causing the irritation.

Get Scrubbin'
A facial scrub should remove surface impurities, prevent build-up and leave the skin brighter and with a glow.

What to look for?
A gentle scrub that you can use everyday, again something which won't strip your skin of its natural oils (protection).

Don't go there!
A scrub that has sharp edges because it will cut your skin and you won't be able to see it with the naked eye. A scrub that is dry is also not recommended because rubbing or massaging dry skin will cause trauma.

Be Sure to Tone
Toner should soften, retain moisture and contain moisturizing ingredients because water travels to the lower layers of the skin quickly. If you have a good toner it can help your skin absorb nutrients from your moisturizer.

What to look for?
All of the above and most importantly don't skip this step. Most people think a toner is just water but a good toner can travel and deliver nutrients quicker than any moisturizer.

Don't go there!
If it contains alcohol, smells like citrus (high acid levels) or leaves your skin feeling stripped. It's not recommended.

Treat Your Skin, Two Ways
Moisturizing facial masques, or any other water base mask, will nourish and moisturize the skin as it deep cleanse the pores.

What to look for?
A mask which is moisturizing (because it's water base, it can deliver nutrient quickly) and prevent cellular build-up. It should leave the skin feeling soft, supple, refreshed and skin tone looking brighter.

Don't go there!
If it contains alcohol or it leaves your skin blotchy. It probably means that the acid levels are very high.

And/Or
Use a purifying clay masque to draws out oils and surface impurities lodges in the pores.

What to look for?
A clay masque that also helps to shrink the pores and firm the skin.

Don't go there!
I f it burns or your skin starts to flake after use because that means it's stripping your skin completely which will lead to wrinkle formation.
