Moisture and Exfoliate
“The two biggest things that will help keep your skin healthy are a good moisturizer and exfoliating. I recommend a really thick moisturizer or a serum with hydrating oils. Exfoliating weekly will remove oils, dirt and flaky and dry skin.” -Katrina Fandrick, skin-care trainer, Skoah Westhills
Katrina Fandrick recommends: The Dewlux Night Cream, $75, from Skoah, four Calgary locations, skoah.com
Essential Fats
“Feed your skin with the right amount of healthy fats. Essential fatty acids are key to healthy, dewy-looking skin. They help our skin cells retain moisture and flush out toxins, essentially minimizing the signs of aging, calming inflammation and irritation and giving your skin that natural, nourished look. Omega-3 and omega-6 can be found topically in skin-care products and should be used as part of a daily skin-care regimen.” – Lourdes Juan, director, Soma Spa

All Oiled Up
“I love a few drops of my favourite oil on top of my night cream. During the driest months, I use it in the day, also. As the seasons change, I will lighten up my moisturizer and still use a drop of oil at night.” – Rachel Lamont, owner and medical aesthetician, The Natural Art of Skin Care

Get Into the Groove
“Wash your face every night with a product that will deeply cleanse your skin, and exfoliate at least once a week to increase cell turnover. Both will help bring out your natural glow. Most importantly, make sure to use a toner after exfoliating, which is essential in rebalancing, hydrating and protecting the skin.” – Helene Levesque, owner, Babor Beauty Spa
