Put your best face forward for fall

Meghan Collie caught up with Dr. Harold Lancer of Lancer Skincare, the genius behind Kim Kardashian’s flawless face, for tips on taking care of ever kind of skin and the prods that will help you make it to April.

SKIN TYPE: DRY

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. “Hyaluronic acid and peptides will boost your skin’s hydration level, and reduce the appearance of fine lines,” explains Dr. Lancer. Bonus points for prods with natural fruit oils, like avocado and apricot, which are great for loading up the skin with moisture.

SKIN TYPE: OILY

“Keeping skin healthy, balanced and free of debris that can clog the pores is essential to help clear the complexion,” Lancer tells us. Be on the hunt for anything formulated with salicylic acid, which is sure to eliminate congestion (and thus, your surplus of oil).

SKIN TYPE: NORMAL

Don’t be fooled by your current balanced complexion — normal types can fluctuate just like any other. “Keeping skin clean and healthy is critical to maintaining that balance throughout the day.” A lightweight moisturizer is key to boosting your skin’s radiance and protecting it from unexpected seasonal changes.
