Renowned cosmetic surgeon Ashlin Alexander offers advice for facial skin care.

The season for the Golden Globe Awards is coming soon, and it’s time to prepare your skin for special events in the cold, harsh winter months. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Ashlin Alexander offers advice and tips on how to take special care of your skin. Dr. Alexander has trained with the world’s best-known plastic surgeons at prestigious surgical centres. He knows the secrets behind red carpet–ready looks. Even though surgical treatments ensure long-term results, Dr. Alexander knows some non-surgical tricks that can perfect that flawless, glowing skin in a flash.

Here are some of his tips.

Take your skin care regimen up a notch

While over-the-counter products are good in the short term, Dr. Alexander advises that you choose a skin care product that has 1% retinol. “Retinol,” he says, “works to stimulate collagen and elastin production, promotes cellular function, and provides even skin tone and smooth texture for a brighter, healthier look.”

Use a resurfacing peel

Dr. Alexander recommends skin peels because they're the most useful treatments that can be done fast. He says, “Peels work by using naturally occurring substances to produce a controlled and accelerated exfoliation of the skin, which stimulates new collagen formation and increased dermal volume. The result is more youthful, plump, glowing skin.” However, Dr. Alexander warns that one of the side-effects is redness, so he recommends you do the peel at least 10 days ahead of time so that your skin is camera-ready.

No more eye bags

Having eye bags can be a drag — especially because they make the skin lose elasticity. They can be caused either by genetics or aging, making eyes bulge because of fat deposits. Dr. Alexander recommends using new topical products like Neotensil for long-term results to prevent those pesky eye bags. Using neotensil will yield impressive results. It's known as the “shape wear for [the] under-eye area.”

Looking fresh for the camera

While injectables are a common cosmetic surgery procedure, Dr. Alexander recommends using hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance found in skin and joint cartilage. By applying conservative treatments to the pivotal aging areas — including the forehead, crows' feet, and laugh lines — you can revive a tired look into an instant freshness that you can flaunt at the red carpet.
