Healthy-looking skin never goes out of style; though darker makeup and matte complexions appeared on the fall 2009 runways clean, glowing faces made their mark too. With autumn in full swing, however, it’s no wonder that maintaining a bright, luminous look may be proving difficult. But don’t let the change in seasons get you down—there are ways to battle the cold and wind and keep your smooth skin intact.

Fight Back Against Flakes: Wearing a liquid foundation is a great way to achieve a dewy glow—but if you apply it over dry, flaky skin the results can be less than satisfactory. For a quick fix, Nicholas Perricone, MD, FACN recommends using a toner formulated with alpha lipoic acid and DMAE, “two excellent antioxidants that act as natural anti-inflammatories.

They will remove the flaky skin while refining and toning skin texture.” For longterm protection against peeling, though, Perricone says you have to treat the underlying conditions. “It’s important to make sure you have adequate intake of healthy fats found in fish, fish oil, extra virgin olive oil, etc.,” he says. “While topicals with strong anti-inflammatories can do wonders it is of critical importance to not forget the dietary component.”

STEP 1: EXFOLIATE

• It is important to get rid of dead skin cells; they are what make your skin look dead and old. They have a rough texture so they block out skin’s natural radiance and that natural glow
• If you self tan, you need a freshly exfoliated canvas. Otherwise the self tan will come out to be blotchy. This applies for face and body alike.
• Many of us use minimal make up in the summer so we can’t hide dull, sallow, tired looking skin anymore.

Product Suggestion: Dr. Denese Advanced Firming Facial Pads, $35

STEP 2: MOISTURIZE

• In the summer it is very important to protect the skin from dehydration which kills skin cells.
• Air conditioning is one of your skin’s worst enemies. It takes out the humidity in the hair and dries your skin.
• You must protect your skin from moisture loss which damages skin by moisturizing once a day.

Product Suggestion: Dr. Denese HydroShield Ultra Moisturizing Face Serum, $49 (15ml)

STEP 3: BRONZE

• Few of us realize that every real sun tan we get during the summer will translate into several actual permanent lines on our face.
• Try a non streak self-tanner.
• Some self tanners are so advanced and so different from all other self tanners on the market that it truly gives you the look of an actual tan.

 Product Suggestion: Dr. Denese Glow Younger Self Tanner, $32

STEP 4: PROTECT

• All dermatologists would agree that the single worst enemy of your skin is the Sun. Nearly everything that you do not like about your skin: lines, wrinkles, age spots, enlarged pores, loss of firmness, red capillaries on your nose and cheek, loss of elasticity, all has to do with cumulative sun exposure.
• Daily SPF 30 broad spectrum protection is imperative, even if it rains.

Product Suggestion: Dr. Denese SPF 30 Defense Day Cream, $34 (1.5 oz.)
