Here, a dermatologist shares the skin-care secrets she’s learned after nearly three decades in the industry.
Be sure to keep these in mind for yourself, and shift your routine accordingly.
Staying on top of moisturizer makes a difference as you age
When your skin is dry, its tight.
And when its tight, its easier for fine lines and wrinkles to settle in and stick around.
So keeping your face moisturizedcan help stave off premature signs of aging.
One of my favorite ways to moisturize now is withEmepelle($195).

I was a lifeguard and swim instructor and I had a ton of skin damage from the sun.
And because Im African American, I didnt take sun damage seriously.
So I recommend everybody from every race take sun damage more seriously.
My skin looks good now but it could look so much better.
And sunlight isnt the only bang out of light you gotta worry about.
So what that does is that makes our pore size bigger.
It does definitely causes wrinkles over time.

It can also lead to hyperpigmentation.
I get melasma, and blue-light-based melasma is almost indistinguishable from UV-based melasma, she adds.
One of her favorite sunscreens is theColor Science Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield($42).
Anti-blue-light protection is extremely valuable, says Dr. Downie.
It doesnt have the amount of oil that the face has.
And its prone to a lot of sun damage because its exposed a lot.
Everybody should pay more attention to their necks in terms of sunscreen and anti-aging products.
So remember to take anything that you put on your face and also apply it to your neck.
I wish I hadnt rubbed my eyes as much.
