Do not skip the toner.

Christine Chin herself ordered me to start using a toner again and when she tells me to do something, I listen. Ever since I got back into the habit, my skin feels less dry and looks healthier.

Keep applying it.

Instead of rubbing on extra moisturizer with hands that have been touching my keyboard all day, I spray on this hydrating toner when I start to feel a little dry. The best way to take care of your skin is to keep it constantly moisturized. Dry skin is the enemy.

Spot remover.

You can't expect a spot remover to be an overnight, miracle pimple eliminator. But every night I look closely at my skin to find those little blemishes that look like they might turn into something. A little of this—and they're gone in the morning.

Concealer that actually conceals things.

It really works. Play around with the color combinations to get the right coverage around your eyes and on blemishes.

It's all about the balm.

Foundation is a thing of the past. BB Cream feels practically sheer and the color adjusts to your own skin color—regardless of how dark or light your skin is. I never wear any foundation, but I can get down with this product.

Exfoliate once a week in the shower.

My skin feels SO soft and smooth every time I use this scrub. Keep it in the shower and be sure to use it once a week or so. Just like your face, your body needs to shed dead skin cells.

Sunscreen EVERYWHERE.

I've been using this self-tanner and sunscreen in one, which will give you a little glow. At no point this summer will my skin be exposed without protection. Not even on my walk to the train in the morning.
