CAN YOU REALLY HAVE SKIN SO GOOD YOU WON’T WANT TO WEAR MAKEUP?
The right ingredients, products and tools truly can transform your skin. Here, celebrity dermatologist DR. DENNIS GROSS shares his simple skincare rules with MALENA HARBERS to guarantee an even tone, healthy glow and nearly flawless complexion – no foundation required

Strengthen your skin

“Alongside regimen consistency and damage prevention, the pillars of great skin include using collagen-boosting active ingredients,” says Dr. Dennis Gross. “This means applying skincare with ingredients that stimulate the body’s own natural production of collagen, which is the protein that provides the structure and framework of the skin.” Collagen levels naturally begin to decline in our late twenties, so it’s never too early to start boosting this essential skin-building block. “Clinically studied, proven actives that trigger collagen production include vitamin C, retinol,LED light therapy, and peptides. They’ll truly make the difference in seeing dramatic results from a skincare routine alone,” says Dr. Gross.

Be consistent

When building any skincare routine, it’s crucial you use products regularly to notice a difference. “You’re more likely to see desired results from a few multi-tasking skincare products that work together to treat multiple layers of the skin and prevent irritation when you apply them every day,” says Dr. Gross, who stresses that the one non-negotiable daily essential is sunscreen. “The sun is the skin’s number-one aggressor when it comes to signs of premature aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, chronic dryness, overproduction of oil, or a compromised moisture barrier. Using sun protection and antioxidants every day are important to not only treat but prevent these signs of aging from surfacing prematurely.” He recommends using a minimum protection of SPF30 in either a chemical or mineral formula, such as his Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare All-Physical Ultimate Defense Sunscreen SPF50.
