In Style Magazine's 50 Best Skin-Care Tips of All Time

Sometimes being at the hospital can lead to surprisingly good things- while Dad sleeps, I get to browse the internet and lurk people's facebook & twitter pages. This time I came across In Style Magazine's twitter page (I know, I know, I'm wayyy late & shoulda been following them a year ago) & discovered this little gem: The 50 Best Skin-Care Tips of All Time. Sure, you have to click the next page for each tip and sure, there are some obnoxious Dove ads that sneak their way between tip 22 and 23, for example. But, it's all worth it with these "who woulda known?" tips.

Some of my faves:

#25: Choose "Fragrance Free" Over "Unscented"

Formulas that claim to be unscented can still contain aromatic essential oils, which may upset sensitive skin, says spa owner March. If perfumes tend to irritate your skin, check for labels that say "fragrance free." First Aid Beauty Gentle body wash ($14; at firstaidbeauty.com) is mild and still ultra-moisturizing. 

#40: Anti-Age with Ice

For homemade skin care, all you need is an ice cube tray, Ole Henriksen says. Pour in some apple juice and freeze. The malic acid in the frozen juice is an anti-aging alpha-hydroxy acid. "Pass the ice cube gently over the skin," he says. "It feels like a mini-facelift!" 

#42: Sleep on your Back (this is the second time I've read the sleeping on your side/stomach can encourage wrinkles!!)

Yes, it's relaxing to snooze on your tummy, but to avoid wrinkles, flip over. "I can tell which side of their face my patients sleep on," says Dr. Day. 

#43: Eat Your Water

When you eat hyrdating fruits & vegetables like grapefruit or cucumber, "the water penetrates and plumps up cells better than drinking water," Dr. Murad says. Aim for three daily servings of fruit and five of veggies.
