Skin Savers

UV overexposure can lead to premature skin aging and other complexion-compromising issues. Here, Dr. Christine Rodgers, creator of the En Pointe skincare system, and Dr. Naila Malik, an expert in the field of non-invasive cosmetic medicine, help you control the damage.

STASH SPF IN YOUR TRAVEL TOTE. "A sunburn is almost equivalent to a first-degree burn," Rodgers says. "You should always wear sunscreen and avoid deep tanning for more than 15 minutes at a time."

CHOOSE SKIN-SAVING INGREDIENTS. "It's possible for everyone to improve the health of their skin to some extent," Rodgers says. "Ingredients that help with sun damage include vitamins C and A, retinoids, lactic and glycolic acids, and some anti-inflammatories that are derived from botanicals." Tip: Never take a vacay from your skincare regimen. Instead, pack your favorite products in travel-friendly containers.

LIVE HEALTHY-EVEN WHILE ON THE GO. When it comes to the battle against skin aging, Malik says, "There's no substitute for smart choices in food, regular exercise, stress management, no smoking, moderation of alcohol intake and avoidance of direct sun exposure, especially in peak hours." To further counteract damage, she recommends supplements like vitamins C, E, D3 and B complex, COQ10 and alpha lipoic acid. For easy portability, invest in a sleek travel pill case.
