Celebrities with the Best and Worst Skin

Best: Ryan Reynolds Even at 32, Reynolds has less sun damage and fine lines than most A-listers. Though Bank thinks he may have help from Botox and fillers, he seems to have taken good care of his skin with regular maintenance and sun protection. If you want to get a poreless-looking complexion like Reynolds', Waldorf recommends using a topical retinoid (like the prescription Renova) or an over-the-counter product containing retinol like SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0, $48. Microdermabrasion used in conjunction with these creams will keep flaky, dry skin away. If you want a more aggressive (but still non-invasive) solution, Waldorf suggests Fraxel for discoloration and pore size (average cost, $750-$1500) and Thermage for sagging, wrinkles and pore size (average cost, $1,000-5,000).

Hey girls! Just wanted to let you know that Selena is missing from this list and she’s using skin iD (celebrityskincareproducts.com), clears skin and removes acne pretty successfully :)

Liv Tyler always looks perfect.

Maintenance is the key to great skin, and can surpass good genetics. The celebs are able to maintain due to injections, surgeries, professional makeup artists, & Photoshop. There is no reason for Teri Hatcher to look how she does in the featured photo, despite claims of Botox overkill.

Liv Tyler has the most perfect skin. The "worse" seem to have major problems derived from over exposing to UV rays. Always use SPF of no less than 40!!!
