As a busy mom, wife, daughter and professional Miami dermatologist Dr. Janice Lima-Maribona recognizes the struggle that we have as women. “To keep it simple, I prevent sun damage as much as possible with high- quality sunscreen daily,” she says. “To maintain skin health and youthfulness, I rotate which active ingredients I use each night, allowing my skin to rest and regenerate from everyday stressors. As a treat (and to enhance what I do at home), I also get monthly glycolic peels and facial treatments.” Here, the 10 skin-care essentials Dr. Lima-Maribona relies on for glowing skin every day.
“As a busy mom, wife and professional, I keep my skin routine simple yet effective. A spritz of Avène Thermal Spring Water ($18.50) helps prep my skin for the products that come next: vitamin C–rich SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF ($166), which is great for those with hyperpigmentation, and EltaMD UV Clear Tinted BroadSpectrum SPF 46 ($37), which is one of my favorite sunscreen formulas—it also comes in an untinted version. I prevent sun damage as much as possible by using high-quality sunscreen every day.”
“I remove my makeup with Avène Micellar Lotion ($28) and then cleanse with SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser ($35). Skinbetter Science InterFuse Treatment Cream Eye ($105) softens lines around my eyes and SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore ($128) deeply moisturizes my skin. Then I apply one of the following stronger actives: Glytone Exfoliating Serum 11 ($46), Dr. Lima Lines Be Gone 5X ($58) or Dr. Lima Sleeping Beauty in a Jar ($58).”
