8 Skincare Secrets Experts Swear By For Glowing Skin

We all want clear and glowing skin, but beauty regimes that work for your best friend will not necessarily work for you.

Because we are all such very different creatures, we wanted to learn the best general tips from the very people who see different complexions every day. Here are the eight secrets to follow, no matter your skin type.

Extra tip: In addition to washing your face regularly, Amanda Nederkoorn, one of the top estheticians at Face Haus, suggests spritzing a hydrating mist on your skin after washing. "Water often contains chlorine and other elements that are harsh on the skin," she says. A mist "neutralizes the tap water and allows your skin to receive the products more effectively. Mist your face again after applying all your products to seal it all in."

6. ICE, ICE & ICE

"One amazing (and free) thing I do at home to keep my skin looking great is 'icing' There are three main benefits of icing. Similar to a sports injury, when you put ice on a breakout, it reduces redness and inflammation. Ice can also be used as a natural exfoliant. When you put something in the freezer, it preserves it, similar to putting meat in a freezer. Just remember, you have to keep the ice moving. Don't hold it in one spot, it can burn like heat can. Sometimes I even throw a little aloe vera in the water before freezing it."--Jennifer Kramer

7. TRY A SKIN OIL

"The quickest way to fake glowing skin is to use good face oil. It will automatically nourish your skin and give it a healthy shine (not greasy or oily). They do not clog pores. In fact, they balance oil production. Apply a facial oil to damp clean skin twice daily. Use it alone or mix it with your tinted moisturizer and your skin will glow in a pinch!"--Sonya Dakar

8. USE PROTECTION

"In the morning, apply antioxidant serum followed by a broad-spectrum sunblock of SPF 30 or higher. Some UV penetrates through the sunscreen in the antioxidant provides extra protection. While you are outside, make sure you are staying protected -- yes with sunblock, but even with your clothing. Wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat."--Dr. Ava Shamban
