Whether you take a minimal approach when it comes to a beauty routine, or devour any kind of skincare and makeup advice you can get your hands on, one thing remains universal: We all want to know the very best practices for achieving healthy, radiant skin.

While innovation is a private label skin care companies thing, it seems these days there's always a new ingredient, technique, or product on the scene with a bevy of skincare tips to go along with it. Seeing as taking care of our skin ranks fairly high on our to-do list, we reached out to several top dermatologists and estheticians to take a deeper look into all the advice and time-tested information they've learned throughout their careers. Keep scrolling for all the tips you need to know from sun protection to the proper techniques in applying skincare products, and so much more!
“You have to get a full-body skin exam by a dermatologist by the time you turn 30. It’s important to have expert eyes take a look at any moles you may have and be able to follow them for changes in the future. Also, the dermatologist can teach you how to do a proper skin check on yourself. This is very important because melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer, is almost 100% curable if caught in its earliest stages. If women are armed with information on what to look for, it may save their lives.†— Elizabeth Tanzi, MD
“We consider treatment steps to be anything between toning and moisturizing. Layering your serums and essences from thinnest to thickest helps the skin to absorb each layer most efficiently! We like the Blithe Tundra Chaga Pressed Serum.†— Sarah Lee and Christine Chang, founders of Glow Recipe.
