You may be born with healthy skin, but maintaining it takes work. If you want to improve your skin's tone, texture, elasticity and resistance to infection, here's what you need and need to do all year long (and beyond).

## What You Need (Products)

To improve and maintain optimal skin health, you need:

- **Cleanser**  
  Everyone needs to cleanse their face no exceptions. What may vary is the frequency with which you need to cleanse (once or twice daily) and what type of cleanser you use.
  
  Choose a product formulated for your skin type dry/sensitive or oily.
  
  If you are prone to dryness and/or sensitivity, you may consider reducing cleansing frequency to just a nightly wash and a quick splash in the morning. This may help you retain more of your body's natural oils that help lock in hydration.
  
  If you are prone to oiliness/acne, you may also want to add a toner to help dry up excess oil and tighten up pores to minimize breakouts.
- **Moisturizer**  
  All skin needs moisture. To find the right product, you need to figure out why.
  
  If your skin is dehydrated, you need a product that helps restore moisture at a deeper level and protects your skin's water space.
  
  If your skin is dry or balanced, you need to minimize evaporation at the surface.
  
  Learn more about the difference between dry and dehydrated skin here and how to select a moisturizer to suit your skin's need.
- **Repair**  
  If you have mature skin and/or your lifestyle involves regular exposure to the sun (UV radiation) or other toxins, you may need intensive free radical neutralization i.e., antioxidant treatments.
  
  There are a variety of methods to deliver potent doses of antioxidants to your skin spot treatments, serums, lotions. Choose what best fits in your skincare regimen and promises the best results.

 

Please keep in mind, for healthy skin, these are the basics. To ensure best absorption, you may also consider an exfoliating product to regularly slough away dead skin cells.

## **What You Need to Do (Self-Care Activities)**

Healthy skin is not an outside-only job. In other words, you can't achieve and maintain healthy skin by applying topical products only. Your skin's health is a product of your overall health, so you need whole-person care. The self-care practices that will bestow the most noticeable benefits on your skin include:

 

Lifestyle changes, like quitting smoking and managing stress, will only enhance the health benefits of all other self-care practices for faster, more noticeable health and skin health results.
