7 Must-Follow Skin Care Tips for Brighter, Clearer Skin

A healthy glow starts with consistent cleansing. "Your face is exposed to many environmental factors every day," explains Howard Sobel, MD, New York City dermatologist and founder of Sobel Skin. These factors include everything from applying makeup to touching your face to fluctuating temperatures. "Cleansing twice a day to remove the dirt and dead skill cells is the most important first step in any skin care routine," says Sobel. If you don't cleanse morning and night, your pores could become clogged with all the stuff that's accumulated on your face, and that can lead to whiteheads and blackheads forming, adds Debra Jaliman, MD, dermatologist and author of "Skin Rules: Trade Secrets From a Top New York Dermatologist."

A gentle facial cleanser is key, as you don't want to be left with overly dry skin. The EltaMD Foaming Facial Cleanser fits the bill perfectly. Formulated to be safe for all skin types to use twice a day, it contains bromelain, an enyzme found in pineapples that helps to curb inflammation and remove makeup, oil, and impurities from the surface of your skin.
