How to get great skin at every age

Antioxidants, like moisturizing vitamin C, are your best defense in this decade — one of the busiest of your life.

The occasional stress- and hormone-related breakout is also normal at this age, says Charmaine Cooper, education manager at Dermalogica Canada. To conquer clogged pores, she recommends purifying charcoal to target blackheads, breakouts and improve skin's radiance.
