"Prevent Lines Like a Beauty Editor"

This is from an interview with "skin-obsessed" Kristin Perrotta, Allure executive editor.  She describes what works for her in Allure's Insider's Guide Fall 2012.

1.  Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least 50.  She loves Neutrogena Pure and Free Liquid Daily Sunblock 50 ($12.99) "because it's so light and powerful."
 
2.  Apply an antioxidant cream under sunscreen and at night with CoffeeBerry, idebenone, or green tea.  She uses RevaleSkin Night Cream ($120) which has CoffeeBerry.
 
3.  Use a lightening lotion to fade dark spots at night 20 minutes before your moisturizer to give it time to work.  She uses Elure Advanced Skin Lightening Lotion ($150).  "This stuff really works."
4.  Don't go  to bed without applying a retinoid.  She uses RoC Retinol Correction Deep Wrinkle Night Cream ($22.99).  Dilute with a little plain moisturizer around the eyes to avoid irritation.
 
5.  Exfoliate every other night with a glycolic acid peel.  She likes Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel  ($25) "because it's easy to use and brightens skin-fast."
 
 

6.  Sometimes she gets Botox around eyes and forehead.
