Getting rid of sun damage and discoloration is important to Katie Rodan, co-founder of Proactiv and Rodan + Fields Dermatologists. "I do all of the lasers, but topicals do a much better job of evening out the skin tone and they're less expensive," she says. She recommends exfoliation and applying topicals containing hydroquinone all over your whole face, "don't spot treat," she says.

"I take vitamin D3 oil," says Kathy Fields, M.D., co-founder of Proactiv and Rodan + Fields Dermatologists. "It's the new E or A." She explains that you can be in the sun all day and not make enough of it (vitamin D has been linked to bone health and cancer risk). According to Fields the American Academy of Dermatologists recommends taking a supplement of 1,000 ius a day. Fields recommends to "get [your Vitamin D level] tested to find out where you are," she says, then take a supplement if necessary.

"Brush your teeth after you drink coffee, you want to keep your teeth white," says Rodan, who is a fan of Crest Whitestrips, $34." She claims whiter teeth "enhance the appearance of your skin tone."

Howard Murad, M.D., founder of Murad, believes in what he calls an "inclusive health approach." "People look at anti-aging and limit it to appearance of skin on the face, but in reality the relationship with everything else [your internal health, stress level, etc.] is connected," he says. "As much as possible I try to eat a plant based diet. I still eat hamburgers and steak, but I try to limit it. And I wear sunscreen and exercise. It's not one thing, it's a lot of things," he says in regards to what his secret to anti-aging is.

"As we age, cell turn over slows down, so daily exfoliation is key for me," Rodan says. Check out TotalBeauty.com readers' favorite (and least favorite) scrubs here.
